  Hear, hear

  Jesus Christ (oops, should I say that?), can't you guys go and bicker on the JREF Forum or something and leave this thread to the Carlin fans? Why is it that so many Salon comment threads end up down at this level:

  DOGMATIC, ANGRY ATHEIST: I take myself VERY seriously, and you wrote something that suggested the slightest possibility of theistic belief or magical thinking. I can't let that slide or rationalism as we know it might grind to a halt.

  CLUELESS BELIEVER: Huh? Atheism is a fundamentalist religion.

  DAA: My kind are so intellectually superior to your kind, it scares me. Let me list all the reasons why you are a moron and why you probably believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

  CB: You can't prove God doesn't exist.

  DAA: I have to go and write angry e-mails to the History Channel about their latest Christianity show, and e-mail James Randi to let him know I e-mailed the History Channel. I will let my minions take over eviscerating your pathetic theistic arguments.

  CB: Why are you guys so angry/vague talk about God, spirit, etc.

  DAA: [More of the same]

  CB: [More of the same]

  THE REST OF US: Give it a rest, will you people? Can we please get back to George Carlin/clitoral circumcision/Barack Obama? PLEASE?

  Aaaaaaaand eventually we give up and abandon the thread while you mental giants duke it out. Yawn. Please spare us this time, OK?
