Here's the difference, Skippy. I reserve my scorn and mockery for
individuals like yourself, in response to specific claims you have made.
I don't disparage "closed minded religionists" as a group. That's being
prejudiced, which is why I accused you--not all closed minded
religionists.

I also find it interesting when someone accuses atheists of being closed
minded, when in my experience (and I'm not a minority in this), atheists
generally are more opened minded, more educated, and more rational than
religionists.

There's a difference between fluency and content. While you are fairly
fluent, the content of your claims are utterly preposterous. 

And quite frankly, profanity and obscenity (whatever they are) provide a
great deal of expressive power when used appropriately. Just listen to
any of the late great George Carlin's monologs.

Well, I have made a decision on this. The insights you offer are
nonsensical, puerile, and clearly derived from years of religious
indoctrination combined with some sort of bizarre pseudoscientific mumbo
jumbo. As I said, hardly a glowing endorsement worthy of any fuckin'
respect...
