Subject: RE: BS: Militant atheism has become a religion
Well, pete, that was the usual pile of incomprehensible, ignorant bilge. Now shut up because you are interrupting the formation of a new religion. Naturally, we're adopting the template of all the other biggies, including the adoption of misogyny (I'm sure you can wade in with some of your anti-abortion guff) and some inexplicable, quasi-miraculous phenomenon or other that has only the word of uncorroborated witness (my certainty, nay, nascent gospel, over my ball lightning sighting, once I've fleshed it out). Gosh, we even have the seeds of renaissance Christianity here: an already-forming schism, à la Luther (Lex? God, I'm confused) vs. Catholics-style, in the form of Sheffield "Protestant" Wednesday (the fans protest hugely at their team's lack of achievement) and Liverpool, once managed by Pope Shankly-the-Only. There are drawbacks in following the formula of course. We desperately need a novel angle. I'm thinking breweries in place of cathedrals. Musket...?
