The Mystical Ethics of the New Atheists
Posted by Teresa Summerlee Isanhart on 11/09, 6:43pm
This article is so good, I thought Joe wrote it. ;)  

Alan Germani illustrates the epic moral failures of the "new atheists," like Hitchens, Harris, and Dawkins.

"Although Hitchens may be adept at pointing out religious absurdities, he not only fails spectacularly when it comes to providing a valid secular alternative to the moral guidance provided by religion—he endorses essentially the same ethics as do religionists (altruism) and he arrives at this ethics by essentially the same means (mysticism). If this is the best the New Atheists have to offer in their efforts to lure people away from religion, they should not be surprised to find religionists ignoring them."
