A few years ago Chris Mooney experienced a massive journalistic fail when he allowed himself to be fooled by an online troll named Wally Smith.<br />
Smith had created a sock puppet called Tom Johnson, who proceeded to make up stories about misbehaving atheists who claimed to have been directly inspired by famous New Atheists like Dawkins.<br />
As this fitted in with Mooney's accomodationist narrative it seemed almost too good to be true - a direct link between New atheist rhetoric and obnoxious and destructive behavior (the 'atheists behaving badly' happened to be scientists on an outreach program at a church, a program which failed due to their insulting actions.)<br />
Needless to say, it <i>was</i> too good to be true. <br />
Smith/Johnson was revealed to have lied about the incidents - although it took almost six months before the truth came out, and not without Mooney dragging his heels every step of the way as it was gradually uncovered that Smith had multiple sock puppets commenting simultaneously on 'The Intersection'.<br />

The point here is the problem with the seductive nature of such 'Exhibit A' style posts. When someone makes a claim that fits in with your own chosen narrative it can be easy to believe that claim without doing the necessary checks, even for a respected writer like Chris Mooney.<br />
Or, I am sad to say in the current instance, a respected writer like<a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/butterfliesandwheels/2014/02/heres-a-recruiting-tip/#comments"> Ophelia Benson. </a><br />
If someone is prepared to serve up stories that confirm, and indeed prove, our personal bias it is encumbent upon us to ensure <i>we</i> are not being fooled - particularly if those stories involve serious allegations.<br />
<br />
Exhibit B?<br />

After a long work-related hiatus I think it's time I restarted this blog.<br />
<br />
I've decided to change the focus, somewhat. While I've avoided direct involvement in much of the histrionic rollercoaster that has characterized the onlineatheist/skeptical online community over the past couple of years, I have not avoided paying close attention to the underlying conflict between scientific skepticism and identity politics.<br />
<br />
Expect a lot more writing in the near future.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The atheism
community is currently buzzing with the idea of “Atheism Plus”, which is kind
of like secular humanism but differs in one crucial way – secular humanism doesn’t
have a plus on the end.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The idea
was originally conceived by Richard Carrier who, unfortunately<a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/2207/">, forgot to tell
anyone</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Luckily
enough Jen McCreight recently had the same idea and <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/blaghag/2012/08/atheism/">did tell everyone</a>.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Jen defined
the principles of Atheism Plus as follows:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">We are…<br />
Atheists <em><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">plus</span></em> we care about social
justice,<br />

rights,<br />

transphobia,<br />

skepticism.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Since “social
justice” covers points 2,3 and 4, and should therefore “<strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">endorse
the values of reasonableness, compassion, and integrity”</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">,</span></strong> the entire values statement
can be summarized:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“Atheists who care about social justice and
who use critical thinking and skepticism.”</i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Now one
might think that this is simply a description of any average member of the
atheism community, a group generally regarded as politically towards the left
and thus more likely than the general public to be supportive of policies
advocating social justice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Unfortunately
not.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">According
to Richard Carrier, there exists a significant group of atheists that completely
reject the aforementioned values. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">And something needs to be done. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">However <a href="http://freethoughtblogs.com/carrier/archives/2207/">Richard’s solution</a>
is as brilliant as it is simple. </span><br />

As a first measure we seek to support the diverse views about the founder of Christianity, a Mr Jesus H. Christ. While the orthodox story of Jesus involved him living all his life in ancient Israel before his untimely death on the cross, there is an alternative narrative, equally supported by the evidence, involving, not one, but <span style="font-style:italic;">two</span> visits to Japan.<br /><a href="http://www.cnngo.com/tokyo/visit/did-jesus-christ-live-and-die-northern-japan-065383?hpt=hp_bn8">According to CNN</a>:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">"The historically lost middle years of Christ were spent west of Tokyo before he returned to the Middle East and to religious and political turmoil -- and the rest of the story.<br /><br />The traditional narrative includes his crucifixion, of course, which in the Shingo version he avoided when his brother selflessly substituted himself for Jesus.<br /><br />Carrying some of his brother’s remains, Christ travelled from Jerusalem via Siberia and Alaska before ending up in the northern Japanese port of Hachinohe and finally inland to what is now Shingo.<br /><br />After such a voyage he deserved to settle down, marry a local woman and father children, which is exactly what he did, inadvertently creating a possible bloodline.

According to the LSE Socialist Workers Students Society:<br />
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
"Religious discrimination is irrefutably on the rise at LSE. Both the Atheist Society’s efforts to publish inflammatory “satirical” cartoons in a deliberate attempt to offend Muslims, and the ‘Nazi themed’ drinking games serve to highlight a festering undercurrent of racism.</div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
What does really lie behind the claim that religious communities cannot be the target of racists?</div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
Is atheism the road to social progress?</div>
<div style="font-style: italic;">
Why do Marxists defend religion?"</div>
<br />
<br /></blockquote>
</blockquote>
Because Marxism is a religion?</blockquote>
