Dent, I've been wondering where you've been. As I'm sure you know by now, there is a thread set up specifically to question your atheist credentials. You must defend your honor! Filthy commie bastard.
Nope cant be bothered, all AG has done is to role out the same old, mal formed, rhetoric some might even call it anti-Marxist dogma
As I understand it AG was once quite religious, which means this recent burst of atheism could well be an aberration and he will return to the fold of the delusionaly content. I on the other hand did the opposite, ten or so years ago I trotted along to church for maybe a month, perhaps two, and tried to pretend that when I prayed there was a non fictional being that gave a nano s**t about me. The realisation soon struck that rather than needing conjure up delusional feelings for an imaginary god, I would be far better served attending to my depression.
So AG to be able to honourably hold the mantel of most strident atheist on WP will take years of atonement for your previous religious sins. If you are handed and then choose to accept this high honour I will view it as a disgrace of the same magnitude as Obama accepting the peace prize
To sum up AG I was godless when you were still a teeny boy tugging the priests todger
