Sometimes you just need a reminder
Wednesday, October 21, 2009 at 08:00PM In the course of researching some stuff I came across this post. As you can see, I posted a couple of comments. Nothing hysterical, in any sense of the word. Today, the person the post was about weighed in. The comment thread serves very well to illustrate why, if I ever become an atheist, I will never admit it in public. A sample:
Because I don’t want to give money to the already disgustingly wealthy Christian community, somehow in your [mine- bbmoe] pea brain, this means that I don’t value debate? Well, putting your infinite ignorance aside for just a moment, did I not mention that my pre-occupation is working with the Secular Student Alliance to organize debates at various local universities, or as I like to call them, “Churches of Reason”? We’ve already had a few at the University of New Orleans, we have one scheduled for South Eastern Louisiana University, and I’m working to get one just before Christmas in Louisiana State University. All FREE OF CHARGE. So how you can say that I “don’t value debate” is a testament to how well the garbage that has been pummeled into your head since you were suckling mummy’s teat during bible study has been effective.
I sense anger. I guess he was putting my infinite ignorance aside, not commanding me to do so- a good thing since someone who's infinitely ignorant would necessarily have a hard time putting same aside. I believe it's my Christian duty not to think that all atheists can't write just because this one can't. Yet another example of how my Xianist Brainwashing has made life more difficult- for me. Dear Atheist Doug has no such restrictions to wrestle with.
I know that this is just a technicality, but for the record, my mother is an atheist and she never breast-fed me. Not that one is related to the other, it just so happens.
P.S. For the world's convenience, Doug has directed me (or all readers) to his personal contact information. Pass.
