He's not coming back. I checked out his profile and he's spent a massive 3 minutes online - just long enough to copy and paste his drivel

My pleasure. The post irked me!

Shame. After all the effort I put in, too... Never mind.

Do we have to hash out this "atheism is a religion" crap again? I just want to live my life without religion and these douchebags keep forcing it upon me. What the fuck is so hard to understand that I don't want anything to do with religion, any religion?

Told you.
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.'

What with the dearth of actual evidence or positive arguments for any religion, is it really surprising that the only thing they have left to resort to is this desperate scrabble to drag everyone who won't indulge in their silliness down to their level?

And why is it that Christians can't see how creepy and sickening it sounds when they say "washed in the blood of Jesus." If we atheists had a similar saying they'd be calling us devil worshipers.
