You do understand that, don't you? Or are you still playing to the crowd?
Now, let's be honest for a moment, and accept the fact that Obama was doing what any decent atheist would do, exposing the hypocrisy of the Fundies, without resorting to the nastiness they revel in.
Sketchy internet out here on the Ark. Occasionally, I get close enough to land and pick up a connection. Thought I'd drop in to say hi and see if the usual suspects were still running around chasing their tails.
Gotta go now. There's a tide to catch. Be well!
I have to be pretty drunk to even put up with Fox for anything other than short bursts.
they would say "that's right out of the Koran!1!11" 
Response to louis-t (Reply #10)
welcome to DU 
Why should I allow myself to be subjected to this kind of nonsense, even after I asked him to please stop using the N-word with me several times?
What part of "No" don't you understand?

and just want to run away with your tail between your legs rather than act like a grown up and admit you made a claim that I was a racist that isn't true. Cool. Nice tactic.
Again, all it takes is an apology and a promise never to do it again.
I don't believe that I am being unreasonable here.
When a poster at DU asks others not to use the N-word with them, that request should be respected.
One where you feel that you have to give lectures constantly so that everyone else knows what you expect of them?
GM never insulted you. Or your wife. Or the goats. Do you think you're the only person in the world married to someone who is a different skin colour from you? Or is religious when you (so you keep insisting and insisting and insisting) are an Atheist (your capital "A"
? You're the one who keeps mentioning her. And the fact that you're an Atheist. And a mathematician. And how infuriated and frustrated everything makes you. And how disappointed you are by other atheists because we're not like you.And how nothing lives up to your standards.
You should calm down. Really. Take a deep breath. Relax.
You're an anonymous person on a community of anonymous people. Sorry to puncture your sense of self-importance but no-one here is out to get you. If you start 'threatening' people and telling them what they can and can't have you'll find quickly that no-one really cares.
There's not much scope for nuance on a public forum; if you say things that make you seem like a troll then people will probably accept you as one.
? You're the one who keeps mentioning her.This is inappropriate.
I was responding to Warren Stupidity, who brought up the topic.
In post #71, he offers several links to random old posts of mine that have absolutely nothing to do with this thread.
I responded to the second link from the bottom in his post.
The OP title I was responding to was titled "Would you describe yourself as a huge atheist?".
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1230&pid=22270
Warren is offering that link as an excuse for you bringing up my wife totally out of the blue here in that thread.
Basically, what happened is I answered the question in the OP in my post #27 of that thread, saying that I do at the moment, but that I am trying to lose weight.
Another poster then asked if I had tried praying away the pounds in post #28.
Then, in post #36, the post that Warren Stupidity linked to, I responded with this:
My wife does pray for me, though.
So far, the effectiveness of her prayers has been spotty at best.
I need to talk to her about maybe praying just a little bit harder.
I can use all the help I can get.
According to Warren Stupidity, it is posts like this in old totally unrelated threads that give you the right to bring up my wife out of the blue whenever you want to in any thread no matter what the topic under discussion.
Really, I don't understand why so many folks are supporting this type of harassment here at DU.
It feels like a coordinated effort to push people into the closet.
Let us remind everyone of the circumstances surrounding your unceremonious shit-canning from A&A:
1. You repeatedly used an epithet members found offensive.
2. You were asked to stop.
3. You did not.
You laid your loathsome pate under the ban hammer and dared the A&A hosts to swing. And they did. And rather than taking it like a goddamned adult, you ran to the Religion forum, bleating like a butthurt child.
GM said what he said, I presume, because he thought you were sincerely confused as to why you'd been shown the fucking door. He was not aware you were simply trolling the fuck out of this forum just to see how much awful shit you could stir up in one fucking thread. So, he tried to explain to everyone why the words you used were offensive; and he picked representative examples of other offensive words one would have no business tossing around in casual conversation.
But, like I said, you weren't mistaken, misled, or confused. You took what GM said, deliberately twisted it out of context, and have ever since been bitching about asshole atheists who use words you don't like.
Now you're complaining of harassment? Really? The guy who for months has been deliberately and falsely accusing fellow members of racism? You either learned nothing from your last 90-day administrative leave, or...
Perfectly understandable, seeing as your all-around bad behavior earned you a nice little 90-day vacation shortly thereafter.
But that's okay. I mean, this is the internet, and everything you have ever said here is on the fucking record. I'd be happy to kick the thread that earned you your expulsion from A&A if you think it may help those rusty gears grind into place.
Irrelevant? Like what Goblinmonger said to you that one fucking time all those months ago? You know, the thing you bring up whenever he replies to you?
That's funny. I recall them, and just about everyone else, asking you to stop saying the offensive term "militant atheist". And then I remember you getting kicked the fuck out because you wouldn't stop.
Which might explain why you're breaking out of your atheist closet in really strange places... like religion and interfaith forums.
Uh, yeah. It's not "threat" you inspire in me, it's more like... repulsion.
And, incidentally, you can be rendered invisible. Quite easily, in point of fact. With the click of a button, I could very well sanitize my entire DU experience of your nauseating, repellant presence.
You know what. That's a pretty good idea...
If you can show me where I used that word as a racial epithet (and here's the definition since I'm not convinced you know it "An abusive or contemptuous word or phrase" , then I will apologize. Because I know I didn't do that.
And, hey, since you posted the picture I posted and seem to have a huge problem with me doing that, you do realize that it says "n-word" and not the actual word, right? In case you didn't see the movie, that character doesn't say "my n-word." He actually uses the word. But I didn't post that meme (which is easily out there, btw). So you are getting blustery not about me using the offending word, but for continuing to use something that literally said "n-word." Your false blustering is clearly false.
But, hey, you show me where I used it as an epithet and I'll apologize.
Or is it just me?
