Screw it. This nonsense pisses me off to know end. It just isn’t enough that everyone has to deal with the arrogant self-smug pablum that constantly drips off their chin like a bad case of the clap; it’s theat they pull this moronic mystic [vulgarity deleted] on top that really makes you want to put on some brass knuckles and [sexual practice deleted] them.

“I’m not stupid enough to worship a Flying Spaghetti Monster. Oh! Look at my crystal! It aligns my chakra!”

Yep, that’s 8 oz of brass right up your poop shoot you ignorant twat.

And these enlightened chimps can’t take the cock out of their mouth long enough to mumble some coherency into their ideology. Yeh, so we’re all evolved from orangutans. Every cell, every fiber, every disease and each species and subspecies has different characteristics due to natural selection.

Then they anthropomorphize and worship dolphins whilst also slaughtering “that dog” because they were bred to be mean. Then they turn around and say that there’s no such thing as race well it’s not really important it’s only skin deep except for all those genetic diseases but it doen’t matter in any real sense did I tell you women are better then men because we’re genetically built for multitasking but chinese aren’t smarter than blacks because evolution doesn’t actually effect the human brain. Way to face [sexual act deleted] Darwin jagoff!

You Christians wanted proof of evolution? Right there. Right [sexual gerund deleted] there. That’s Darwin’s missing link standing there with their brain around their ankles [sexual act deleted] his corpse.

If the worst thing that can be said about you people here is that follow the moral code of some unprovable man whose most notable accomplishment was to get his corpse stolen then so be it. At least y’all understand science.

I don’t just read Vox Day for the comments, but he does attract a very…interesting assortment of people.

The above rant was written by an agnostic commentator, incidentally, in response to a handful of atheists attempting to slag Day in the comments section of one of his more recent postings. But it’s interesting how reflective the above ranting would seem to be of (and this I remark on from my own experience of such people) how agnostics tend to treat atheists with a sort of befuddled horror. To be fair, they usually accord believers no small measure of doubts, but I’ve never seen a discussion between an agnostic and a Christian in which the agnostic was looking at the door every thirty seconds. I’ve seen just that level of discomfort when the pairing has been agnostic/atheist (having had, at various times, Drs. Mike Caldwell and Hans Machel* come and lecture the theology class I was taking was one of Dr. Denis O. Lamoureux’s more inspired ideas, and he’s had a lot of inspired ideas).

I suspect that a part of this tendency for agnostics to treat atheists with revulsion stems from the agnostic attitude towards faith, that casual “well, maybe, but maybe not…whatever” nonchalance. It’s a worldview that is not really offended as much, I don’t think, by the notion that someone actually does have an ardent faith in God…but which is very easily offended by someone who has an ardent faith in the idea that there is no God, especially when the holder of that latter faith attempts to use science (which can make no pronouncement in either direction; science is, by definition, agnostic on the issue of the supernatural) as a justification for it.

It’s a terrific, if somewhat vulgar, rant. Just the sort of thing that need be said from time to time.
