Oh, darn. I was going to add:
Observation that Fundies define things as sins that are not condemned as such by the Scriptures
Statement about the Bible not being a science textbook
Reference to the Invisible Pink Unicorn

Oh darn, also.
Assertion that questions regarding faith and/or Deity are not universally answered to all humans in a temporal existence.
Comment regarding above assertion that as such, debate/arguments over said subject matter have always and will always be a part of human existence. Assertion that this is okay.
Apology for jumping on a thread just because it appeared in threadspotting. Kudos for turning exhausted debate into fun with language.

Widely-recognized but nonetheless enlightening quote regarding the value of rhetoric.

Reply to original post, made without having read subsequent posts.
Numerous points virtually identical to those already made.
Vituperous screed of frustrated atheist in Bible Belt.
Explanation of childhood belief that there were only two religions: Catholic and Jewish. Confession that poster is a New Yorker.
Wandering tangent on the nature of “spirituality” and how it is a separate concept from belief in deity.
–Distinctive Sig Line–
Pro-Lucifer quote from Paradise Lost
Clumsy attempt at Discordian bombthrowing by sneering at both “classic” sides of the argument in progress.
Longwinded digression that few will actually read, analyzing what has been said in in obscure terms poster managed to pick up before dropping out of Philosophy courses on the theory that in the light of true wisdom, a Philosophy major (the syllabus, not the matriculant) is less beautiful than waiting tables for a living (maybe here poster tries in his loopy way to hint why–maybe not). Ultimately the entire post will become either too obscure to comprehend, or too pointlessly redundant to respond to, as the only really interesting thoughts that went into it are the ones that explain where, on the obscure landscape of human thought, poster is coming from, and poster fails to really clarify those.
Utterly irrelevant and merrily offensive sig
Absolutely misguided digression, ostensibly clarifying a point of previous post, which contains a single ill-thought phrase which can be construed by some hothead as insulting a grievance-holding class in an unusual enough way to warrant a specific flame.
[Poster’s previous post inspired no response whatever. This one will make GD sound like the Pit.]
Expletive filled attack on respondent’s obvioiously humourous post which was taken literally despite the smiley indicating humour.
Long winded explanation rationalizing attack on said poster.
Statement that witty remark was not funny at all and adds nothing to the debate.
Attempt to appear “nice” despite unwarranted attack.
generic welcome to the SDMB
generic explanation of thread archetype
No! No! No!
Alternative interpretation of Zoggie’s point.
Deeply involved philosphical expansion of the basic differences between Phobos’ understanding of Zoggie’s POV vis-a-vis my understanding of Zoggie’s POV.
Hairs split down to sub-atomic level. Make that down to the sub-quark level. Hey! I can count the angels dancing! (Oh, no, not that again!)
Maybe Phobos was right.
I’m outta here.
Absolutely brilliant SIG here.
I’m gonna copy it into my “cool sigs” file.
Where it will collect dust with all the others.
slowly written post concerning poster’s desire to respond to to aforementioned points, but also citing poster’s severe lack of sleep and brain power.
reference to discussion in poster’s philosophy class concerning the futility.
comment about wanting to fall asleep at the computer during the class the poster is currently in.
poster yawns.
poster wishes for damn funny sig.
exceedingly long quote repeating Keeve’s entire post
short appreciation for sub-quark level analysis
short apology for hijack
[hijack to intelligibility]
This thread is great! I hope some kid submits it to his Creative Writing teacher and aces the course.
[we now return to bouncing off the walls]
[hijack]
apology for half finished sentence in poster’s previous post.
said poster mentioned her/his lack of sleep, thus resulting in an inability to complete sent

Ill formed attempt at pun.
Voluptuous deconstruction of implied humor in this thread archetype.
Apology for hijack.
Casual misspelling that makes inadvertant homophobic slur.
Same stupid sig as always.

Explanation of how anecdote relates to OP.
Snide remark about the tendencies of Christian posts. Winky smiley to avoid flames.
