Gah, my kingdom for mod points! Mod parent up please!

Um, huh?

I speak out against fanatical atheists and ask for more ordinary atheists to speak up for us, and therefore I'm a fanatic? Really?

How ridiculous.

I'm also an Atheist, and if you think we aren't discriminated against, you're just ignorant. Fighting that is the cause you *ought* to have. In fact our lack of community is part of the problem. American society does not consider us normal people, and to counter that we need a non-crazy voice. When normal, well adjusted Atheists like you deny our community, you cede our voice to the loudest and angriest among us. That's the self harm I wrote about above.

Talk about confirming our stereotypes of Europeans. The US government are christo-fascist lunatics, therefore islamo-fascist lunatics in Iran would be better? God damn, man, get some perspective.

I'm sorry, what? Are you trying to say we can't speak against religion here? That's... retarded. Our Atheists are so noisy they actually harm their own cause.

I think the EU is great, and I'm not the least bit interested in bashing Europe, but if you're going to complain about free speech in America you at least need to know what the fuck you're talking about.

I'd argue authorial intent matters, though. Accidental puns deserve their own word.

I'd love to pretend otherwise, but was really just a lucky typo. Thus the mondegreen discussion above.

Oh, fuck me, that's embarrassing. And now it's +5 Insightful. I love the spotlight!

Your reply went [whoosh] over my head ;)
