Maybe it would help if you held your breath, too?


I am trying to imagine if you find yourself witty or funny.

I think we have some subconscious 'reflecting' going on...


Are you? It's good for you to reflect.

JMS,

Do you agree that religions should be persecuted?

Not official atheist doctrine. Try again.

Again, what? When did anyone call for extermination?

Or are you referring to "verbal extermination," the kind that happens when a theist becomes convinced that gods do not exist?

By that definition, I exterminated around 40 non-Mormons on my LDS mission.

Your turn.

Yes, but he's an Orthodox Atheist. Most people here are Born Again Atheists.

And yes, I think I'm hilarious.

I don't care if Atheists exist, nor do I care to prove them right or wrong. What I am sick of is their crying about how abused they are and how they just want equality, but their method is to start a full on war. They don't want equality, they want the extermination of those who are theists. They have come to a "convert to Atheism or we will attack, mock, insult, and embarass you" mentality.


CFR from official atheist doctrinal sources.
