The group of new Atheists are disrespectful and insulting to believers, purposefully, says the author of author of God is not great. He goes on to call religion ridiculous, sinister and dangerous. He believes religion must be stopped and to attract the young to the movement, the more outrageous the behavior, the better.
Here are highlights from Dallin Oaks recent article that Dia put on her blog (and got slammed.) You Go GRILL!
His hints for those of us who will soon be lambasted by the adversary against religion.
- Speak with love and show patience, understanding and compassion to those with differing viewpoints.
- Do not be deterred or coerced into silence by intimidation from opponents, insist that churches and their members be able to speak out on issues without retaliation.
- Insist on the freedom to preach the doctrines of faith.
- Be wise in political participation, remaining respectful of those who do not share their religious beliefs and contributing to reasonable discussion.
- Be careful to never support or act on the idea that a person must subscribe to a specific set of religious beliefs in order to qualify for public office
