It evokes a deep inner discomfort (terror/hatred/revulsion) in response to which they reflexively lash out at the perceived source to try and make it go away.

Michael Perri:

these people are f’ing scum of the earth. can we start killing them now? few groups are filled with more hatred than atheists.


I'd say all he needs to do is look in a mirror to find a group 'filled with more hatred'.

Nasty, nasty stuff. Why does it always have to be about killing people? Obviously, most of the posters are pretty pastel, but wouldn't you think that their belief system would prevent them from entertaining such thoughts?

are simulacrums, fakes... created to give real people the sense that such vicious hatred is 'normal and acceptable'. Someone is, I believe, stirring up the psychologically stunted for some larger purpose.

And I have a fair idea of what that purpose might be.
