Granted. I didn't think you were and I replied generally rather than specifically. I tell Jerk the Sea Cadet to get fucked occasionally but that's because you can't educate pork. He started all this nonsense in order to sneer at non Christians, asserting that yoummust have had some trauma or other in the past, otherwise why wouldn't you have an imaginary friend? By asserting religious tendencies as the norm, he insulted a lot of people.

I just make sure he doesn't forget it, that's all. He is in denial about his earlier stance mind, so there is hope yet. But his earlier nonsense is published now all the same so nobody has to take my interpretation up, judge for themselves.

It is difficult debating an oxymoron and the second post in this thread, from me, points out that you cannot say militant atheist as that would be an assertive phrase and atheist as a term includes the many for whom religion is irrelevant so the word is passive.

You can hate religion, you can be proactive in eradicating it from influencing the rest of us. But as per the analogy further up this thread, don't confuse non smokers with anti smokers. A colleague of mine smokes but has tried and tried to stop. She is an advocate of making them illegal drugs and refers to smoking in the home as child abuse where children happen to live. She isn't a non smoker. ..
