Yes, he really knows how to say things! I shared with my Facebook friend this morning...especially my friend who asked me yesterday why I'm so "anti-god." ;)

This is excellent!

 

Now I was half hoping that comments at the Wall Street Journal would be mostly intelligent. But nooooo. And I fear that the ignorant, stupid comments are from "normal" people. Or "normal" Americans. (I HATE saying that.)

God help us, there are SO MANY of them! Most of them have no clue how atheists think, and they make the oddest assumptions/presumptions.

I normally wouldn't whine about this. (I think of whining as complaining about something as a tactic to get someone else to do something about it.) So I've decided to start a separate discussion on how to answer these people, no matter how unintelligent or ignorant or intentionally-ignorant they are. I know this mostly is a fool's errand, but I really, really want understand some of these poor schmucks, and reach them, somehow.

If only we could help just a few of them think better, or at least try...
