147. I was asked for the evidence
of "fundmantally contemptuous/hateful towards all things religous."

I provided a couple of quotes easily at hand (un attributed to avoid personalization).

“I don't remember saying anything about dementia though”.

It wasn’t attributed to you, authorship is irrelevant, the point/issue is impersonal.
I’m not interested in persons/personalities as the object of or originator of flame.
Insults? Who cares?
Most of it is testosterone driven undergraduate piss and wind…occasionally funny but otherwise not worthy of consideration.


“As to the fuck christianity, fuck religion thing...well......
Fuck christianity and fuck religion. I don't like either of them….”

Ahhh >That’s< the R/T spirit! ;-)
Like I said….points for open honesty.

Your fully entitled not to believe and not to like.
And I’m fully entitled to question and challenge the unwavering depth and degree of such dislike and to examine its implications as reflective of a trend, prevailing attitude or board culture.
And I’ll ask again, as I have several times without answer, what do we think/say /do when the proposition is- “fuck America, fuck the American thing”?.
Fuck America because it’s evil? Fuck America because it’s the Great Satan?

See I’m not worried about- Fuck Hedges or fuck Ironbark they are both jerks…that’s fine by me.

But unwavering and deep-seated prevailing cultures of “Fuck Christianity, fuck religion and/or fuck America” that display no insight into the positives and no preparedness to consider them are a real cause for concern to me (even as a non American agnostic).
