Dawkins help us…
When becoming involved in my local atheist community, I thought I had found ‘like minded’ friends; rational, reasonable, open-minded people committed to truthfulness and living with integrity. I was wrong. Realizing the magnitude of my misjudgment, as the microscopic views came into focus, has been a traumatizing and life changing experience. Appearances are highly valued in this culture, much higher than genuineness and integrity. Psychopaths; charming, intelligent, confident, and deceptive, are admired, followed, emulated, and defended as they rise in the ranks of atheist organizations just as in all other types of human hierarchies. This is a HUGE problem for humanity. The people without a moral conscience are the people who aim for positions of power and influence, and their ruthlessness and cunning gets them there. Can the ‘good folks’ ever win? No, at least not as long as general knowledge of psychopathy is lacking and evil-doers evade detection and enjoy protection from a ‘psychopath friendly’ culture.
