Speaking as an atheist, we aren't really "against" religion, we just don't believe in the same things they do. And even if we were against religion, that would't make us a religion. We can't really be against ourselves, now can we?

That was my favorite part. I especially loved how for that guy, that was the point that unraveled the whole atheist conspiracy, and that he disproved it with birds.

Actually, you basically just inadvertently nullified your own argument. Bald is a hair color, the color white. That's the reason the bald eagle is named the bald eagle, and not the 'eagle with no hair on it's head'.

You do realize that's not logical at all, yes? We're getting into 1984 doublespeak territory here.

I didn't see your post above, as it wasn't quoted.

I'm quite sure that I'm an anti-communist capitalist. That means I couldn't possibly be a communist.

Hey, since Nova is a Christian, which is against atheism, then he's sort of (in the long sense) an atheist!

How? By sitting on your chair and thinking about it until it somehow seems rational to you? Is that the secret? If so, I'm going to be here for a few days and nights "thinking" about it like you until it makes sense, except I'm never going to see how it makes sense that an anti-communist capitalist is somehow a communist.

Now you're getting it. Black is actually white, and white is actually black.
