Holy shit, Evie. Stop eating all that eucharistic fucking spaghetti and start eating more fish or something. Your brain is clearly starving for more Omega 3 in your diet because you're forgetting posts (other than your own) made only hours ago and pretending issues weren't already discussed. I already said (Msg. #117) that my statement did not reference atheism. Try to keep track of the argument, please, because arguing in circles is something that fundies—
Oh, wait. I see. Maybe YOU are one of those fundy atheists and, hence, the love for arguing back around in a circle.
Stop pretending I said they are fundy about atheism. That is an unhelpful Straw Man already obviated. I said 'fundy atheists' are those who fundy about their atheistic views—be what they may, because there are a lot of views an atheist can hold: on ethics, on epistemology, on metaphysics, etc., all of which must be atheistic if he or she is consistent. And don't go forgetting what that words means again: it means those views (whether ethics, epistemology, metaphysics, etc.) are "godless," which means "understood and engaged without any reference to god(s)."

... I did. Message #126. It's not even 24 hours old.
