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.

Its Ed's reading comprehension issues mixed with his desire to be picked
on by those better than he is.

Ive noticed a tendency for Leftists to read what they want into
something quite different.

Ed is no different.

And the radical right-wing paternalistic anti-intellectual god-squad
will fan the flames of ignorance and ideological hatred against anyone
who attempts to make them think. I've seen you twist words and fail to
read EXACTLY what was posted, Gunner. You have your hard-held beliefs
and anyone who tries to change your mind is ignorant, evil, stupid,
leftist, communist, whatever. Arguing with you is like ****ing upwind.
