It is ridiculous to suggest that people can change their supernatural, invisible friend on a whim, delusions are sometimes too strong to alter.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.

Blackadder: It is so often the way, sir, too late one thinks of what one should have said. Sir Thomas More, for instance, burned alive for refusing to recant his Catholicism, must have been kicking himself, as the flames licked higher, that it never occurred to him to say, "I recant my Catholicism"Comment

It's one of those "being an adult about things" situations that you may one day understand.
Of course, there are groups who I will happily belittle or mock, but when I do I try to be a little bit inventive or original about how I do it. Your comment just demonstrates a lack of intelligence on your part, that you couldn't even make an interesting insult.Comment

I am unable to offer people of any religion anything other than derision and contempt.I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful.
