CLEARLY [I](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=15081214&postcount=50) should just be a mod.

> **Der Trihs** , I don’t know why you’re trying to cover for **Condescending Robot** (unless you agree with him), but this thread was originally about black atheists…and somehow got derailed to a) _all black pastors are con artists_, which you have now turned into _all religious organizations are scams, so technically Condescending Robot’s ethnocentric spewing is correct._

We’re used to posters constantly derailing religious threads by claiming all religion is bullshit, a scam, for stupid people, etc. **Der Trihs** has also routinely stated that sending your kid to Sunday School is a form of child abuse. But I hope we never tolerate that…garbage…that **Condescending Robot** was saying.

eta: Well, it’s tolerated I guess, but I hope you know what I mean. It was a deliberate hijack.
