I rarely joke without letting you know that I'm joking. This is not a
joke. If you have some evidence to support what you're saying, let's
hear it.

One would think that violent anti-theists, if they were the "fastest
growing group" of the non-religious, would be noticeable among a group
that's grown in numbers by 20,000,000 people over the last 18 years.

As usual you are trying the "Ed Twist" of what I said. Let me quote.

-"You are completely leaving out antitheists. They take the view that
theism
-is dangerous and destructive. Their hatred of religion is proactive,
often
-organized, often violent and craving power. THIS is the fastest growing
-group of non-religious and in many ways can be considered a "religion".
-Think of them as radical secularists bordering on fanatical terrorists.

And somehow you extracted this:

"One would think that violent anti-theists, if they were the "fastest
growing
group" of the non-religious"

Now, your manipulations confuse me. Do you want to discuss the growth of
"antitheists" or "violent antitheists"? I know you would prefer to
change the meaning of my post, as usual, but... Either that or I'm a
****ty communicator, or you're a ****ty reader. Take your pick.

Do you want to try parsing that sentence into something simple, Tom? It
looks to me like you say:

1) Antitheists' hatred of religion is proactive, often organized, often
violent and craving power.

2) This is the fastest-growing group of the non-religious.


Now, maybe you can explain how that's NOT equivalent to saying that
violent antitheists are the fastest-growing group of the non-religious.

I've been editing for a long time, but if you somehow flipped that one on
its back and slid it under the other pea, I missed it.

You imply:
often violent = always violent
often rains = always rains
often eats out = always eats out

Thanks for the lesson in logic and language, Mr. Twisty!
