An Poe is someone pretending to be what they are not.
An atheist pretending to be a fundamentalist Christian would be a poe.
Why this is fun I don't know.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

It's a reference to Poe's Law, which states that a parody of an extremist or fundamentalist position cannot be differentiated from the real thing.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

i saw the light last night it was so majestic and beautiful and i stared into it thinking i had seen god.
but i quickly dumped the assertion because i felt a cold breeze and i had to blink a few times as i was staring
into the fridge dazed out of my mind hungry.

I get the same feeling when I see a bottle of Franziskaner beer
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

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.'
