Not to mention that you'd think they'd figure out that being a bloviating assbag is not the way to get through to a bunch of skeptics.

No my friend,The only thing that would make God angry is when I break his rule's,such as
YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines purgatory as a "purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven," which is experienced by those "who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified" (CCC 1030). It notes that "this final purification of the elect . . . is entirely different from the punishment of the damned" (CCC 1031). The purification is necessary because, as Scripture teaches, nothing unclean will enter the presence of God in heaven (Rev. 21:27) and, while we may die with our mortal sins forgiven, there can still be many impurities in us, specifically venial sins and the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven. A Prayer for Unbelievers O God, the everlasting Creator of all things, remember that the souls of unbelievers were made by Thee and formed in Thine own image and likeness. Remember that Jesus, Thy Son, endured a most bitter death for their salvation. Permit not, I beseech Thee, O Lord, that Thy Son should be any longer despised by unbelievers, but do Thou graciously accept the prayers of holy men and of the Church, the Spouse of Thy most holy Son, and be mindful of Thy mercy. Forget their idolatry and unbelief, and grant that they too may some day know Him whom Thou hast sent, even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Salvation, our Life and Resurrection, by whom we have been saved and delivered, to whom be glory for endless ages. Amen.
Persistent ain't he?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
I wonder what drives them?
Can't be desire to convert. They must know it doesn't work that way.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Being on the staff is like a full time whack a mole job these days.
Indeed. Cthulhu Dreaming got something like ten this morning and I've gotten two in the last ten minutes.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
