Prelude: evc forum is meeting for the 2nd time, despite the unfortunate occurances of the previous year. Many famous members are in attendance at the London pub.
PRELUDE: Jar enters to a round of applause. He approaches the microphone.
Jar: Many atheists will go to heaven because they are so tolerent and so liberal and so very, very nice. Christians are bigoted, racist, homophobic chauvinists. Except for me, of course. Whether Christ ever existed or not is not of the least importance. It's the sunny, sentimental idea that matters.
(a round of applause).
Enter another important guest, Schrafinator: It's so nice to be a member of a superior group. I feel great, being so unbiased and so healthy. I had 1.7 orgasms this morning!
(cheers from the crowd)
That speaks for itself. My hubbie graduated from a world-class university. We screw scientifically. None of this romantic mess and fuss. Of course, rank does have its responsibilities. We are held to a higher standard than . . . them [points to a dark corner of the pub, where some shabby-looking people are present].

We have no "Rant" forum, so this ones staying here, at least for now
I don't see this as any sort of debate topic, so it's not going to get promoted.
I'll leave it open. Feel free to add more message, but for now it's a "Great Debate" between you and yourself.

Well, Moose, I got lots to add, and I really think you should promote it.
It will be fun.

[The London pub, some hours later. A clean, well-lighted table.]
Purple Dawn (shows Jar a check): Are you going to pay your share or not?
Jar (examines check): If I drank these beers I drank these beers regardless of any evidence that I did not drink these beers. If I did not drink these beers I did not drink these beers regardless of any evidence that I did drink these beers.
Purple Dawn: So did you drink those beers or not?
Jar: If I drank these beers I drank these beers regardless of any evidence that I did not drink these beers. If I did not drink these beers I did not drink these beers regardless of any evidence that I did drink these beers.
Lurker (sits down at the table): Does he always say that?
AdminNWR: Welcome to evc forum! Please familiarize yourself with the forum guidelines. No, he does not always say that. Sometimes he says, "It's just that simple."
Jar: I am a Christian, purely as a matter of faith. It's just that simple.
Faith (approaches the table): Ha, ha, ha! You are a Christian in the sense that "root beer" is beer!
NWR: Stay out of this, Faith. What are you doing at this table? You ought to be over there [points to the dark corner]. I am a mathematician with exacting standards of behavior, whereas you . . .
Faith: I sit where I like!
AdminAsgara: STOP! Do not respond to her comments!
NWR: We let your sort get away with a lot, because, well . . .
Jar: Because they are mentally handicapped, that's why.
NWR: You have a lot to be grateful for. We let you participate in this convention despite your obvious flaws.
AdminPercy: Leave the table, Faith. You are suspended from this part of the pub. Being remarkably unbiased, I will however permit you to sit over there [points to the dark corner, from which iano waves].

Must have something better to do with your time.
I see this as nothing more than an attempt to bypass the rule on personal attacks, and one comment in particular has no place on a discussion board that gives acces to minors.
Closing this down, another admin may want to reopen it, but I don't see anything positive coming from this 'play'.
AdminBrian.
