Revision as of 14:03, 15 July 2012
I'm Proxima Centauri here and at a number of other Wikis. I try to follow the scientific method and like to refute silly religious ideas that go against science.
I'm also into astronomy, science fiction and other subjects. I'm writing a cool story about Proxima Centauri.

Should atheists shut up?
Should we let a minority pressure us into being nicer to Christians? Should RationalWiki become a website where atheists feel uncomfortable about editing Articles on Christianity. Should atheist editors here fear some sanctimonious editor might come along and tell us what we’ve written is all wrong?
Many of us here have studied Christianity diligently for years. Some have studied Christianity since the wiki was founded in 2007 or before. No experts can reasonably tell us to stop editing because the experts think only they understand things. We understand religion too.
Below are several websites that say as atheists we should speak our minds.
- Should Atheists Shut Up and Stop Upsetting Christians?
- Why don’t atheists just shut up and stay home?
- Atheist, why don’t you just shut up?
- Atheism and the "Shut Up, That's Why" Arguments
Christians insult us
We need to refute claims that Atheists aren’t moral or are morally defective.
- Here’s an example. Atheism. Note! Those Christians don’t even try to prove that we are corrupt or have done abominable works. They just quote the Bible and take care to translate it in a way they think is accurate. If the Bible says it they think it must be true.
- Here's a worse example. This one though other users have since modified it Christians like Yerranos disregard that reasoning faculty which humans evolved and which sets us apart from the rest of animal life. They think with their emotions.
I think we should all feel thoroughly insulted. I’ve started refuting the idea of Christian superiority in the article Christian morality which is linked to the Main Page. Here a Baptist Pastor thinks he’s morally better than we are despite his unkindness. The team here can do much better than I can single handed.
It will be cool if we can have articles about Christian morality on this website, we have one on Secular humanism.
The star
I'm Proxima Centauri. It seems I'm roughly 4.2 light years away but no other star is closer to the Solar System than I am. I’m just that bit troublesome. I flare up unpredictably. Some scientists who’ve been quoted at Wikipedia think stars like me could have life sustaining planets. Others think that’s impossible.

Block comment
I've escaped a rangeblock when I changed my Internet Service Provider. I added a serious edit that the paranoid sysops might have mistaken for vandalism. As of now that edit refering readers to a very sensible website has remained and I hope my edit will remain undetected acceptable to a new class of more liberal CP sysops for years.
