   They call me Trinity revealed his closet theism:

   Like the Athei-buddhists, Trinity is a closet theist (as his name   
   suggests ;-)   
      
   His theology, like all atheists, is primitive and retro, and   
   quite as stupid as the mainstream atheist beliefs;

   Published as part of the Official "Atheist Quote of the Month" liturgy   
   where all the Atheists gather to affirm what best expresses their beliefs:   
      
   # Subject: aa - The Polls are Open! AQOTM for Nov 2008   
   # Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2008 08:10:11 -0500   
   # From: *nemo*    
   # Message-ID:    
   #   
   # 1) The universe is ruled by a wizard, a zombie, and a ghost.   
   # Only the ghost is with us now, even though   
   # the zombie shacks up in our gall bladders and the wizard   
   # is omnipresent. You'll want to stay on the wizard's good   
   # side, because he has this thing for the aroma of   
   # flame-broiled human flesh. Oh, and this ripple and   
   # this Wheat Thin will turn into chunks of the zombie   
   # if a designated wizard's apprentice casts a spell on them.   
   # Thus enchanted, the cracker can be used to reveal the   
   # true demonic nature of Jews, much as a garlic pizza   
   # could out vampires (if we believed in such things,   
   # which we don't cuz that would be silly, dontcha know).   
   # We know these things to be true despite having not   
   # one damn reason to believe any of them.
