At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

People have criticised theists in this very thread for misunderstanding the word antitheist. I am merely being consistent and not applying double standards.

Consistently arrogant in that your interpretation of the definition of a word is the only correct definition of that word.

Once we show them that we care, they’ll never stop pushing.
