1. It's not great, but...
A reasonable rejection of ridiculous revisions of reality.

2. This was one of the most idiotic:
Maybe more people are praying for the war to continue than are

praying for it to end. Maybe if everyone at DU were praying for it to end, it would.

But we'll never know due to the cynical atheism that abounds here.


It's always our fault.

7. I remember
being told by my pagan friends that their magic wouldn't work around me because I'm so cynical and skeptical.

8. Never underestimate the secret powers of Skepticism!
I've scared ghosts away just by being there.

11. Me too! I have been told ghosts go away when I am present.
I should charge everyone everywhere I go for this service.

9. Obstinacy
Cool Kid contrarian.

Because incredulity and scorn from my fellow citizens has made me sexy and too hip to handle.

*belch*

That's me. Atheist. Bad and nationwide.

....... NOT!
