All it takes is a couple of posts like yours and now all the usual suspects have just reinforced their prejudice against atheists, particularly those on DU.

Sure, whackadoodle believers who defend gay-bashing or theocracy or the protection of pedophile priests are praised when they make points in favor of religion, but then are quickly disavowed when PPRed and conveniently forgotten.

But atheists like you, no, you'll be remembered and trotted out again and again whenever the "civility police" want to shame atheists for somehow being the only reason nice happy kumbaya discussions never prevail.
