I don’t see any reason to infer that **Libertarian** ’s post was aimed at you. You ain’t the only atheist on this message board, or even on this thread, my man. To be truthful, I’m somewhat confused as to what **Lib** ’s point is. Who is he accusing of being a handstabber making a point? The one who closed the Merry Christmas thread (I’d still like a link, BTW)? The one who selected it for Threadspotting? The one who _nominated_ it for Threadspotting? **Waverly** for the OP itself? I’m lost, here. [sub][kermit]Maybe I should try Hare Krishna.[/kermit][/sub] [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-visit-from-saint-dickolas/144005.md?page=1)
