And it took you ten whole years to figure out that a lot of people in 
alt.atheism don't really want to discuss anything?

And you're still doing it?

If I'd seen this in April, when it was posted, I would have 
considered nominating you for the AUK "Custer Kicked Ass!" award, or one 
of the other ones celebrating bootless battles.  

And this doesn't exactly negate my observation about Fr. O'Whiskey getting

cranky.  *coff* *coff*

Why should the atheists move out of alt.atheism?

Why should people who have bad experiences with the RCC move out of 
alt.recovery.catholic?

Why should the JWs move out of arj-w?

You're the one who looks out of place.  

Mind you, YOU could get them to "move along" by getting a real newsreader.

1) add alt.atheism to killfile
2) ???
3) PROFIT

well not really profit but it would both be ecogroovy by not wasting 
server space and bandwidth and keep you from developing RSI.  

Also (and this is im****tant) it's what YOU can actually control.  Sack up,

man.

Why bother at all?  It's long descended into 

is
is not
is
is not
is
is not
is 
is not

and you've got a bigger audience than them.  If you can't do it cleverly 
(and you're not), for the love of the sweet Baby Jesus and his Blessed 
Mother, FIND ANOTHER HOBBY.  Maybe one that glorifies God and actually 
witnesses for the faith for a change.  Go sort cans at the food bank or 
something.  

Personally I think you're long overdue for a grownup Bible study and 
church history class, *not* taught by a Fr. O'Whiskey and/or Sister Mary 
Cranky.  Your ignorance of *basics* is an embarassment to the thinking 
Christians reading you.    Disengage your keyboard and engage your brain. 


(As a side benefit, it really confuses the one-trick alt.atheism ponies 
when you don't play to their script. Right now, you *are* playing their
game, 
and you're ALL losing because you ALL look stupid and petty.)

Right now every time I read one of your posts I think of a bit from a Bill

Hicks routine.  Quatloos to anyone who can correctly identify it (reminds 
me, I should see if it's on Youtube somewhere).
