Friendly Atheist

I don’t get it. It doesn’t make sense to me. (Not the chart, the prejudice is what I don’t get.)

Nice post, John Scott. Nice blog, also. You’re an absolute perfect example of why I find your juvenile, hypocritically selective, and intellectually dishonest position of agnosticism so ridiculous. Yeah, keep sitting up there on your imaginary moral highground, while dishonestly suspending what is absolutely impossible to suspend — a belief or lack of belief either way.

I’ll stick with my personal, intellectually HONEST postion of simply lacking a belief in someone else’s asinine EXTRAORDINARY claim, thank you very much. You and I both honestly admit that we don’t have knowledge either way (the true definition of agnosticism), but I’m not so pathetically desperate to consider myself so intellectually superior that I’ll actually deceive myself into thinking that I don’t have a belief or lack of belief on the issue. Because I HONESTLY do. Ooh, what arrogance! I’m soooo arbitrary!

How did you put it in your last post on this blog? Oh Yeah:

Atheism, one

Smug, arrogant, holier than thou, annoyingly selective, hypocritical, intellectually dishonest, know it all, militant agnosticism, zero

By the way, what’s your opinion on the current Raelian Revolution? Sure hope you’re consistent, and DISHONESTLY suspend your belief or lack of belief on that one, too! ‘Cause after all, you can’t DISPROVE it. We just don’t, and CAN’T know. Honestly, it would be downright refreshing to finally see an agnostic who doesn’t selectively apply logic to the countless list of UNPROVABLE extraordinary claims, while conveniently excluding themselves from the asinine accusations they so frequently bombard atheists with. I hope you’re not one of those blatantly hypocritical agnostics who single out atheists, and these crazy things we put on a pedestal called “deities”, while dismissing every other unprovable claim that comes down the pike. Shit, you are aren’t you? Well, there goes my Christmas wish.

My apologies to Hemant for getting off topic. So, to get back on topic, I’d like to ask John Scott, AKA Mr. High N Mighty, what difference does it make it if an atheist “arbitrarily decides that gods don’t exist”? What does that have to do with being qualified for political office (you know, the same political office that the oh so tolerant Christians who, as you say, “tend to focus on the virtues of belief, love, faith, hope, etc.” once barred atheists from holding.) Why should that be any different than a theist who “arbitrarily” decides that gods do exist? If they’re qualified, they’re qualified. More of those double standards, eh, John?

This survey is obviously rigged. Atheists came in last only because of the glaring omission of “Skanky Syphilitic Witch Doctor Amateur Bottle Brush Abortionists With Tourette’s Syndrome And Overpowering Halitosis.” If that category had been included we would have been second to last. It’s ridiculous that the SSWDABBAWTSAOH’s were left out. It’s an outrage, I tell you!

That poster is incredibly weird – it makes Hillary look like a hobbit, with Giant Willard and Giant Barack with their gigantic heads leaning in to gobble her up.

The name of the group is “The Frontrunners”. The picture depicts them on tour singing the old Human League hit:
Don’t You Want Me, Baby?
It’s #1 on the charts with a margin of error of +/- 4%.

I’d be interested in seeing separate polls for the two major parties (and even the minor ones), to see what the differences were.

Ha ha, no, it was directed at him.
