Cant claim credit for it. Shamelessly stolen I'm afraid
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Seth wrote: It's my experience that most Blacks are intolerable bores and intolerant arrogant asses who can never, ever manage to give their Black agenda a rest. Worse than most White people by far in my experience, with the exception of some few KKK zealots.

Not a universal truth, but by and large true in my personal experience.
Don't mind me.. just seeing how much Seth sounds like Tyrannical. Turns out it's a lot. :tea:

I thought it was clear that I changed the objects but kept the sentiments of what you wrote. I wasn't actually attributing anything to you beyond similarity between your form of 'argument' and something a racist may say. :think:

Now, the folks at Freethought Blogs, the "Blag Hag" (whose blog is phonetic play on the words "Fag Hag" - a woman who gets off on hanging around gay men) http://freethoughtblogs.com/blaghag/2012/08/atheism/ , Greta Christina http://freethoughtblogs.com/greta/2012/ ... r-atheism/ and others have started this movement called Atheism Plus. They say they are "atheists, plus [insert political belief X here]."

As such, they claim not to be dividing, but merely "improving" the atheist movement.
But they already sorta have a name. It's "Freethoughtblogs" and/or "Skepchick". Perhaps those aren't all-encompassing, but generally when I hear those names, I know the sort of atheist they're referring to.

But they want their political agenda to be inextricably linked to the word atheism. They can get fucked. This is why there is such a violent push back against their shit. Twatter is fucking hilarious at the moment.

Not much push back on FtB though
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

Baboons admitting they are talking shite? Not a hope.
Myers’ Law – In its simplest form Myers’ Law states a baboon has no capacity to either receive or transmit information without corrupting that information. In practical terms this equates to there being no realistic relation between what you communicate to a baboon and what that baboon actually hears. This communication loses even more of its original meaning in the event that baboon then communicates a response back to you. Further, when information enters the baboon echo chamber it loses all relation to reality altogether in a very short time via baboon to baboon retransmission. See cunt kick.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."
