Comments by "Mat Broomfield" (@matbroomfield) on "Is There Free Speech in Singapore? | Amos Yee | FREE SPEECH | Rubin Report" video.
This video confirms my earlier impression that Amos is a complete idiot. He has the arrogant certainty, self importance, lack of discernment and stupid rebelliousnessĀ of youth. Kids like him have been dropping out and ruining their lives since forever. He's not a hero to the cause. He's just a kid who was looking for a way to stick his middle finger up at society and happened across two other loudmouth atheists to wank over. TJ and Dusty are as relevant to atheism as Rush Limbaugh is to Christianity.

Of course he should be allowed, but just as the Republicans are recoiling in horror from the animal that has emerged as their spokesperson, so too should atheists be willing to say "Just because he doesn't believe in God, doesn't mean he speaks for me."

I think that EVERY group, every movement will have spokespeople, and it's usually the ones who make the most noise, as well as those who are the most articulate. This kid, and his role models areĀ a prime examplesof people who rose because of their noise level, and are now invited like movie stars to represent what atheism is all about. Well he DOESN'T represent me. I loathe him, and I'm far from keen on the other two either.

If you want to link atheism with something else, that's fine and dandy. Just don't start telling others that they are inferior if they don't share those views. It's like those gay groups "Gay swimmers" "Gay book club". It would be ridiculous if they started saying that other gay people who didn't share those interests were not gay enough.

Ill deserved confidence is just stupid arrogance.
