   I tried that argument with the online "atheists," who   
   are to real atheism what syphilis was to one of Doc's   
   music festivals...   
      
   The point is, nobody is an atheist because they read a   
   book, or figured something out. There's a lot of very   
   intelligent men who are theists, and lots of complete   
   morons who are atheists.   
      
   The fact is that an atheists just doesn't believe   
   there's a God, and then rationalizes everything.   
      
   And that's okay, except for the insistence that they   
   didn't do that.   
      
   Oo!  Know what's worse?  When they go off about how   
   agnosticism is about knowledge and atheism is about   
   belief.... like a wtf "knowledge" is a typical   
   agnostic supposed to have everyone else lacks?   
      
   Or is it the other way around:  Agnostics LACK a   
   certain knowledge that everyone else has, and that's   
   why they're agnostic?   
      
   And the final plank in the mental illness marathon   
   is the "Not believing in Santa Claus is totally   
   different from believing there's no Santa Claus."   
      
   Translation:  "Atheists are fence sitters!"   
      
   Fucking idiots!
