Some of these atheists really take things too seriously

[fpb]

So I happened to repeat an observation made several times before by many other people, and that is at any case not to be taken in total earnest (evidence for the existence of God can be sought in slightly more fundamental areas): that atheists with a taste for fine things are unlucky, because they have nobody to be grateful to for them. Suddenly a couple of atheists have me in a death grip all over my page, and, through a fog of misunderstandings, misexplainations, and one or two downright lies, they are trying to - I don't quite know, but do some damage to my statement one way or another. Folks, whether or not you are as bad at philosophy as I think you are, don't you think you ought to find more serious things (including, yes, more serious statements from me) to get intense about?

Yeah, and they were wrong, too. :P

I see. You have been outside the universe and found no God there. Now that must have been an interesting journey. I wish you would write about it some time.

See, you can't take a flippant remark as anything other than a serious challenge to debate, and then you complain about atheists taking your flippant remarks seriously.

I was trying to lighten up the mood, and I get pecked for it. Well, birdie, next time best hold on to your feathers.

Wouldn't it have been better just to brag about the wonders you would perform as soon as you started to write your account?

If you meant to lighten up the mood, I think at the very least a smiley might have helped in that case...

Oh, Mr. Barbieri

I share your chagrin. I have met atheists with a sense of humor, but evidently these are not them.

For heaven's sake (yeah) lighten up, atheists. :^)

See, there's a smiley.
