I could provide yall with a dozen or so address rabid Christians amongst them - from a BBS I frequented for the last five years to vouch for the fact that they couldnt even drag me into arguments with Christians there. But I know that wont make one bit of difference to the self-deluding Decency Police here. Once the white-pointers of public piety are in a feeding frenzy, its best to just get out of the water.
Ironically, the board had no worries whatsoever of me upsetting its phoney little façade of open-mindedness by baiting bigots. Ya see, as I said before, unlike most freethinkers, Ive never taken delight in shooting dim-witted Waspish fish in a barrel. I leave that to those wannabe Mensa members whose esteem is so fucking low they need to win arguments with autistic authoritarian cretins to prove their intellectual superiority to themselves.
And I wont even bother defending the fact that most of what I said was tongue-in-cheek satire and sarcasm meant to convey that I fight fire with fire, that I treat others exactly how their professed philosophy states they should treat me. Actually Diane ought to count herself lucky I didnt tear strips off of her for her superior superciliousness toward me.
Just to think, all these hey-folks-look-at-how-tolerant-I-am tirades started because a self-appointed guardian from the Hereditary Atheists League questioned my philosophical fitness to belong to her Freethinkers Freikorps, and I replied, quite calmly considering her patronizing impertinence, to her by stating exactly where I was coming from. What a free-thinking farce!
Dianes sardonic and at the same time very illuminating insight into her own stunted little psyche - insinuation about the sort of psychological baggage I am carrying, reminded me of the Tail Gunner Joes HUAC i.e. Mr Henderson, are you now, or were you ever a member of a Christian church? Or what those other Christianity inspired former decent-family-values Volk - who also insisted that everyones minds to be of one accord - might say; Please provide documentation that neither side of your both sets of grandparents were tainted with Christian blood.
Seems we can condescendingly sneer at and look down our intellectually superior noses at the Nazarenes, but we must never, ever, admit - especially to ourselves - that we cant stand the arrogant arseholes! I mean, what would decent free-thinking folk think of us then?
Nonetheless, its quite obvious that Diane the pseudo psychologist speaks for the majority here, so Ill remove my offensive presence from the pub. In any case, I never liked pubs where you have to drink one brand or nothing at all.
However, in parting let me say I find Pommie Johns nigh on hysterical hydrophobic hatred of my hatred so fucking typical of the hypocritical attitude of most so-called freethinkers. (Dont worry John, youll find your way back to the church one day; when you finally learn to surrender to that six-mile-wide streak of orthodoxy in you!)
One final suggestion: why not call yourselves Twee-thinkers?
If there is anything the nonconformist hates worse than a conformist, it's another nonconformist who doesn't conform to the prevailing standard of nonconformity. Bill Vaughan
