Not believing in God doesn't make you unemotional. I don't think I said that. I said there is a philosophically backward idea of atheism and etc. that is current and that many people proscribe to. Desiring evidence in that context is a bad thing. Just so we're clear.

Marijuana is now legal in Colorado. That could be having an impact.
Drugs reference! Grey alert!

Sorry if you feel so very small

Such a cogent and well thought out reply! Definitely not a troll, you!
Seriously, if that's the most you're willing to engage in your increasingly hazy fantasy of what atheists are or "should" be, then just fuck off back to Legoland, okay?
OK re-read the comment. He says that skepticism is a 'philosophical stance' and that atheism, which he admits is a result of that stance (an italicised one, no less), isn't a philosophy! It can't be that something that is a result of a philosophical stance is something significantly philosophical? 'Lol' because the mind boggles.
I suppose I am to imagine that thought crosses a magical boundary from 'philosophical thought' to 'political category' just because he feels like saying so! Or perhaps there is something that determines atheism other than and in a more important way than philosophical skepticism? Maybe membership in an atheist forum???
(and if you read me from earlier I said something about the method of doubt and not really 'skepticism', but that's my own view).
Oh, and fuck off yourself. Welcome to my thread.
