PZ Myers on "atheists are fanatics"

Oh. So if you simply think the idea that there is a Great Cosmic Voyeur who wants to control your genitals is absurd, that makes you a fanatic? I can’t be too concerned about the opinions of a deluded true believer who can’t tell a fierce bearded guy with an AK-47 from a tweedy academic with a word processor.

    To be fair, there are levels of fanaticism.

    To be fairer, the very word ‘fanaticism’ conjures visions of raving lunacy out of all proportion to the source that inspired it. There are different levels of fanaticism like there are different levels of heat on the surface of the sun.
