I know what you were doing schmuck. You are quite transparent.
Well that comes as a surprise to me, seeing as you took what I said to mean I was calling you an idiot for arguing against religion.
You seem to be a one-trick pony, if I ever saw one. Nothing substantial to say, just random bullshit in the form of one-liners you would expect from a smug teenager.

It's not what you do. It's what you don't do that is the problem. You would have to see yourself from our perspective to understand what we truly mean by that.
In the case of fundamentalists, it's what they do do, of course. But you're moderate.
"Our"? "We"?
No one elected you spokesdick. Quit jacking off on your own self-importance.

What guy? Don't you even have the backbone to name your bete-noir? You "fear" something that this someone you fear to name is going to, uh, write?
You're fucking funny.

It's funny, how shocked some folks get at that word, "faithless". I think it's because they conflate the two different connotations of the root of the word, one being unevidenced belief, the other being loyalty.
That mental disconnect allows me good time to escape a dreary conversation about my mortal soul.

I comfort myself in knowing I'm not that stupid. That's all that really matters.

While I mostly agree with you, I do have an example. I consider you a good person and I don't believe you would intentionally harm anyone else. But if you had the power I believe you would outlaw abortion which IMO would hurt many people and society as a whole.
