| 65. Has anyone ever given a coherent explanation for that one? |
|
The best explanation that I have seen seems to indicate that "fundamentalist atheist" is meant to be taken as a synonym with one who is dogmatic or strident in their opinion - which seems a rather sloppy use of the language. Methinks that people who use that terminology know that it's sloppy use of the language, but don't want to let that get in their way of the fine art of douchebaggery.
