Update: American Atheist Leader Responds to Blaze‘s ’Eradication’ Coverage

American Atheist Leader Responds to Eradication AnalysisLast week, the Blaze brought you some startling words from American Atheists’ Georgia State Director Al Stefanelli. Since our original report, Stefanelli has been responding to our coverage on blogs and the like.

Last Thursday, we published our article, entitled “American Atheist Leader Calls for the ‘Eradication’ of ‘Fundamentalist Christians.’” Realizing that Blaze readers would be making their way over to his posting after reading our piece, it didn’t take Stefanelli long to add the following disclaimer to his original blog post:

PS: To those of you who are coming here from The Blaze, which has accused me of calling for the eradication of living people, take note that I called for the eradication of the doctrines that are espoused by the fundamentalists and radical extremists…

Here, he appears to be denying the “eradication” claim, writing that he was merely talking about doctrines, not people. His explanation came too late, though, as numerous sources and readers, alike, assumed that his words were targeting both believers and radical faith systems. If one reads Stefanelli’s blog post, he will see that the word “eradication” appears two separate times. Here’s the first mention:

Intolerance toward beliefs and doctrines that serve only to promote hatred, bigotry and discrimination should be lauded, as should extremist points of view toward the eradication of these beliefs and doctrines.

Here, the atheist leader is clearly speaking about eradicating fundamentalist beliefs, as stated in the block-quote. But it was his second mention of the word that really stood out to us:

But the underbelly of fundamentalist Christianity and radical Islam does not operate in the legal system. They don’t respond to lawsuits, letters, amicus briefs or other grass-roots campaigns and they must, must, must be eradicated. As long as they are allowed to exist, we will continue to be inundated with accounts of buses, buildings, markets and abortion clinics being blown up, rape victims being murdered for adultery, wives being beaten (sometimes to death), airplanes being flown into buildings, people being tortured and sometimes beheaded for blasphemy, people being burned for witchcraft and sorcery and all the other horrific, inhumane and insane practices that are part of fundamental Christianity and Radical Islam.

As you can see, he starts the paragraph by talking about how fundamentalist Christianity and Islam don’t operate within the legal system. Then, he goes on to say that “they don’t respond to lawsuits, letters, amicus briefs or other grass-roots campaigns and they must, must, must be eradicated.”

Since the subject of his statement is “underbelly,“ the use of ”they” is curious. The awkward structure of the paragraph leaves its intended subject open for interpretation. While Stefanelli claims that this was, again, aimed at radical belief systems, it can easily be read to mean “they” as in “adherents.”

American Atheist Leader Responds to Eradication Analysis After the Blaze’s coverage, Stefanelli encountered some negative comments on his own blog, with one individual calling him out for allegedly encouraging the eradication of believers. In the comments section of the original blog post, Stefanelli responded:

It is most certainly NOT a call for violence. Not once did I ever suggest that we use weapons, violence or physical contact. Not once. Nor did I say we be “mean” to them. Nor is my article aimed at a majority of believers in the world of any one specific religion. The individuals that I am referring to, and that I was very careful to point out, are the fringe groups. The minority of the religious. The fundamentalist extremists who have no desire to talk with us, to open a dialog with the exchange of ideas.

In another response, he continued:

If I used the word “eradicate” in the context of living, breathing human beings, you would be 100% correct. However, I used that word in conjunction with the dangerous and disingenuous doctrines that are held by these fringe groups…I am advocating that the doctrines held by certain believers that call for the use of violence and murder in the proselytizing of their beliefs be eradicated. Period. End of story.

While his explanation is somewhat understandable, he has yet to properly define what he sees as “fundamentalist” Christianity. Most Americans understand radical Islamism’s characteristics, but judging from American Atheists’ chosen court battles and the like, the Christianity they oppose — and the Christianity he’d like to see eradicated — may be something less than radical.

Better structure would enhance clarity in the future, while helping to smooth over any confusion.

    Eh, a nihilist has to backpedal his call for his version of the final solution. I’m actually more shocked the guy is (allegedly) reigning himself in. Historically, this breed of leftist/totalitarian unabashedly believes it must save humanity… by getting rid of the undesirables. Look at the moonbat followers of the Church of Gaia. These wizards are the same zealots who used to throw virgins in volcanoes and rip hearts from chests in order to appease the earth spirits. It’s not hard to find video and writings in which these zealots call for mass eradication of humanity… for our own good, but (more importantly) to quiet the elementals. Where is any call to challenge today’s most dangerous new age religion?
    When emotion and blind obedience define any movement, there is the risk of danger. Hell, if this guy wants to fight extremism, I say he can also start railing against zombie-like partisanship.

The atheist movement uses the seperation of church and state to stop prayer in school, the display of the 10 commandments in public buildings, the use of the bible to swear people into office or as a witness in court. It offends them.

      Uh… hundreds in Africa have been burned, lynched, or poisoned to “exorcise” the devil in them, after being accused by Christian pastors and missionaries. It’s not “common,” but it’s recent (first article Google brought up was from 2009) and it happens in modern ages.

      Now, we can rush in and say “These aren’t real Christians!” and start a No True Scotsman fallacy, or say “Yeah, but they’re third-world Africans” and start a nice rant on race and imperialism. But it doesn’t change the fact that they were done in the name of Christ by people who thought of themselves as Christians.

      You can‘t remember because it hasn’t happened, pretty much forever. What has happened is Christians in Malaysia, to name just one example, being surrounded by mobs of Muslims and machete’d to death for the crime of “witchcraft”. This is a perfectly legal practice in Malaysia and the officials turn a blind eye to the fact that the murdered are not witches, but usually evangelical Christians.

    This group, American Atheists, needs to quit trying to unite non-believers or speak on our behalf. Of late all they’ve been doing is causing a stink over petty stuff and coming off like jerks.

    While I agree with the critique that all religion is man-made and untrue, it is intrinsic to human nature to be superstitious; thus, all beliefs derived from that superstitious predisposition are ineradicable.

    But I’m not telling Mr. Stefannilli to “shut up and sit down.” Not at all. Just change tactics and choose your words more wisely.

    The religions we all know will eventually collapse under their own weight only to be replaced by other fairy tales.

      As a believer I wholeheartedly agree that all religions are man-made. They are our feeble attempts to reach God, to worship, to understand, and they are all deeply flawed because they are made by man, not by God. It was never the intent of God for there to be religions, only that people would know Him and live life as He designed it to be lived – thus the reason for walking among us as Jesus; to show us it could be done. Jesus invested a lot of time leading by example, teaching the real meanings of the “mysteries” their religious leaders had misinterpreted and taught them as truth. His example is solid enough that I have put my trust in it – not in some mystical set of beliefs I can‘t understand because they’re not supposed to be grasped by mere mortals.

      To dismiss the belief system of people like myself because you personally haven’t seen a good example is shortsighted at best, and insulting to those who have made the choice to believe and follow. In doing that you have made the same error as Stefanelli; you assume that everyone else is wrong and you are right. As a rational person you should understand that this is thin ice and you should tread cautiously because you really don’t know with absolute certainty that you are 100% correct. You only know that a lot of religious people have got it wrong.

      Catholicism isn’t likely mentioned because:
      1. It’s a particular brand of Christianity, so singling it out would be like singling out Southern Baptists or Salafi Muslims; it‘s divisive and doesn’t count the many other fundamentalist groups.
      2. Catholicism is far away the largest denomination of Christianity; it’s mainstream, and at least in the US it’s not really fundamentalist.

      “Since the subject of his statement is “underbelly,“ the use of ”they” is curious. The awkward structure of the paragraph leaves its intended subject open for interpretation. While Stefanelli claims that this was, again, aimed at radical belief systems, it can easily be read to mean “they” as in “adherents.””

      The subject is “underbelly” in the first sentence, but the predicate in the second sentence is “don’t respond to lawsuits, letters, amicus briefs or other grass-roots campaigns”.

      Since beliefs are not agents, and are but functions of agents, they lack the capacity to respond. Lawsuits, letters, briefs, and campaigns are meant to appeal to minds, which would require that the subject “they” refers to people.

    Well,isn’t that nice the a group calling out for the eradication of Christian because they are intolerant?
    So is he a hypocrit or just another dumba55?
    Someone explain to this nimrod that calling for the eradication of anyone based om their beliefs or difference is the very definition of INTOLERENCE and BIGOTRY.
    At least Christian get a true look at the atheist and their doctrine through their leaders words.
    P.S. BRING IT ON YOU HATEFUL INTOLERENT BIGOTS OF THE GODLESS You won’t find too many cheeks turning when you start your eradication .

    Listen up slappy. Christianity has been around for a long, long time and their are more of us then their are of you. The problem is we give them too much attention, which is what this POS seeks. He is unhappy and needs something to fill his unhappy, sad life. Like they say, misery loves company. If he was to except God, then he would have to take responsibility for what he does in life. Ignore this jerkweed and he will shrivel up and go away.

    If he wants to eradicate all belief, then he wishes for his own belief (or lack thereof) to be eradicated as well. I have no respect for those who have no respect for logic. Our God, IS God. His god is himself. Anyone who has no belief in anything greater than themselves is just delusional. You may lie to others, sir, but you may not lie to yourself.

    ******”…..take note that I called for the eradication of the doctrines that are espoused by the fundamentalists and radical extremists…”********

    I love how you Soros lefties spout off BS without facts:

    Extremists? Lets see who the extremists are:

    Fact: More Christians have been KILLED in the last century than the previous 19 centuries combined.
    Fact: Muslims still trade slaves, stone gays, women and children. They kill anyone that Worships different than they do. Deny women’s rights….
    Fact:BIG Government has KILLED over 250,000,000 innocent men, women and children in less than 100 years.
    Fact: So called “christians” have killed 5 people in the last 100 years in what you elude to as “Christian abortion bombings”.

    Fact: Christians give more than all other groups combined… yes, those evil Christians.

    Clearly Christians ain’t the problem that you make them out to be. Your problem is Christians telling the TRUTH and that hurts your agenda!

It should sadden us all (as Christians) at the loss of even one soul as sorry and sad as it is.

    Stefanelli doesn’t know history – persecution strenghthens the Faith and expands it. Never would believe it could happen here in the land of the free and the home of the brave but now I’m just not so sure..

    Shout “RUWA” & SOUND THE SHOFAR FOR BATTLE TO THE EVIL AND UNTRUTHS TOLD BY A SERPENT!
    I believe the most terrifying sound in the enemy’s ears is the sound of the shofar! Every time a shofar blows, the devil doesn‘t know whether it’s one of us or Gabriel himself blowing that last trump of God! When shofars are blown, they blow confusion into the enemy’s camp — every time!

    I believe one of the reasons the Lord is calling forth the weapon of the shofar this hour is to send confusion into the camp of the terrorists! I sense great fear and the terror of the Lord will be released upon them through this mighty, foolish weapon!

    Whatever Al. It isn’t Blaze readers that are the problem, but I look to see leftist networks and moonbat bleaters soon attacking The Blaze in some way. It’s been targeted a lot already (by other sites and attempted hackings) so it will come as no surprise. What MAY come as a complete surprise to you Al, is our resolve to put a spotlight on your REAL agenda, and we will. Better start scrubbing little boy…though I don’t think you can do it fast enough.

    “I never used to come out during the daylight because of the patrols. If they caught you around here without any ID, it meant trouble. In the past, I’ve seen many of my friends hauled off, and none of them ever came back. The need for food sometimes proved too much for some to handle, and they’d end up letting their guard down in search for something to eat. It’s not the theft of the food that screwed them, but the lack of a government-issued ID Card. Without one of these cards, you were considered a vagrant, and the penalty for vagrancy is execution, courtesy of your friendly neighborhood police officers, who we’d taken to calling “Dredds,” a term us geezers adopted from a sixty-year-old movie that depicted police officers as judge, jury and executioners. Sometimes when life imitates art, it’s not so funny.” Life as we knew it had changed back in 2012 when President Rick Perry and Vice President Michele Bachmann were landslid into office on a promise to return America to its Christian roots. Hell, there are not many of us left alive who still remember when our Chancellors were called “Presidents.” There were so many of us back then. We were so committed to our right not to believe in a god, but in the end, we only had ourselves to bla

    What about all the atrocities that have been committed by atheists? Communist Russia and Communist China for example. They were (are) vehement in there espousal of “There is no god” atheism.

    I strongly believe that the beliefs and doctrines of fundamental and radicalized atheism should be eradicated!

    The militant atheist lives on ever-sliding definitions. What Stefanelli considers to be “fundamentalist” will change at will to suit his goals…which when taking atheism to its ultimate destination will probably be utilitarianism at best, nihilism and genocide at worst.

    So then, it appears that Jesus is NOT saying “i am the son of god, worship me”, but rather that his teachings are “the way” to god. The path to god is through him, he is the light and the way. Follow his teachings, and you are on the path to god… remember…it’s easy reallly, just love god with all your heart, and thy neighbor as thyself.
