Yeah, and “bald” is a hair color. I think your definition fails, in that with atheism, there’s no “system” there. ---

Sigh. Idiots. So, the OP has basically admitted in the ATMB thread that he was trolling, which should surprise no one. I was under the impression that trolling was generally disapproved of but, apparently, standards have changed around here. ---

I didn’t admit to trolling. I just said I thought some of the reaction was funny. ---

> [@mutantmoose](#): > > I didn’t admit to trolling. I just said I thought some of the reaction was funny. Oh bullshit. You are T. Roll McTrollerson. The definition of trolling is posting some outrageous position that you do not sincerely hold, for the purpose of stirring things up. That’s exactly what you’ve done, and what you’ve admitted. Given your OP, there are two possible conclusions: 1) You are a homicidal maniac, or 2) You are trolling. ---

The reason I’m cracking jokes is because he doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously. Strangely I don’t think that genocide is very funny. To give an analogy, when a person tells a racist joke, it is not a sign of disapproval to join in the laughter. Creates a certain atmosphere when one does. ---
