(4,549 posts)3. Oh, it's just my nature as an atheist.
Angry, defensive, foaming at the mouth, always spoiling for a fight and just as bad as the fundamentalist bastards at the other extreme who lop peoples' heads off. Obviously, the most reasonable people are the liberal believers in the middle (just ask them). They occupy an enlightened middle-ground situated between the two extremes like a creamy nougat center. It's really too bad that I'm too angry and bitter to stop carrying water for the Republicans and join hands with such benevolent and tolerant individuals.
