Sorry, I've been busy elsewhere.   

Now, where were we? Ah yes.

As I've mentioned before, I don't have a dog in this fight. On religion I'm Laodicean (look it up--I'm glad to be able to play a small role in your continuing education.)

Yet again, I'm only interested in fair play.   Mudcat believers are willing to extend it to atheists, but some of our current atheist posters are for their own inscrutable reasons (are they Oriental, perhaps?) unwilling to return the favor.

It seems, based on the conduct of some UK atheists, that on the subject of religion the vaunted British sense of fair play is a fond memory.    On no provocation but their own paranoia, they constantly attack religion and the religious.   Since it's well known that an unmistakable field mark of the evangelist--even better than wing bars--is constantly attacking the perceived foe, some of our illustrious Mudcat atheists have proven over and over that they are evangelists for atheism. And they are just as charming as fundamentalist evangelists--and for the same reasons.

Only difference appears to be that on Mudcat there are no Christian evangelists, while we are blessed with several of the atheist pursuasion.
