.. i figure i might as well milk it as long as someone's willing to play along!

truth is there's a heuristic effect. the vocal or militant or .. ew!.. evangelical atheists are just teh ones who are willing to speak in public and be labeled pariahs. the internet in some ways is this time a better gauge of people's religious or nonreligious feelings because there's a tendency to perhaps be blunter.

but IRL the believers rule, and we all know this.

so that's where i'm coming from..

Could be just me. On the other hand, it could be the quality of the humor. n/t LTX Apr 2013 #12

Quality is in the eye of the consumer. When one lacks a sense of humor, quality is irrelevant. cleanhippie Apr 2013 #13
