Reader Alphonsus Attempts to Talk Common Sense

…to the Bright Young Things at UBFreethinkers who are sort of realizing that Blasphemy Day is the Festival for Jerks and that Paul Kurz is right. After an atheist jerk with the appealing handle of “hammerkrieg” writes from his mom’s basement to whine:

Nobody is going to listen to us if we only get butthurt about religions. We are kind of forced to troll because it’s better to look like a jackass than a sourpuss.

Alphonsus replies:

If “sourpuss” and “jackass” are your only options, it’s not surprising that not many people listen to you.

Words that should be engraved on the forehead of every Evangelical Atheist. In the immortal prose stylings of La Shaidle: Dear New Atheists: This is why nobody likes you.
