Firstly, thank you for acknowledging that it was indeed a tactic you were employing, quite a popular one if we go by posts on here.
Second: well, hypocrites believe in something, so I'd probably be in breach of my atheist oath and I'd have to send me secret club ring back. Then again, that's exactly how a hypocrite would behave anyway.
On the other hand, I quite like the idea of being some kind of master strategist, the Blofeld of the atheist community; particularly when the binary alternative is a simple anything. So I'll take puppetmaster for $200. And my answer, in the form of a question naturally, is "who is the latest candidate for my ignore list?"
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.'
