"Given your expressed moral relativism and nihilism" I feel sorry for all superstitious people who have no rational basis for their moral standards but thoughtlessly accept the primitive morals of pre-scientific tribespeople. It must be horrible having the same worldview, the same prejudices, and the same hates as uncivilised desert wanderers whose only goal in life was to get enough food and water and women to fight another day. So sad that you have refused to allow thousands of years of civilization to refine your morals and cultivate your view of others. It is 2014 and you are letting savages who wiped blood on their nose and ear and big toe to cure diseases and who wiped out tribe after tribe in their pursuit of the 'final solution', dictate your values and your standards. Don't you see how pathetic that is?? Do you understand why I pity you so??

"your moral outrage and anger toward a God you claim does not even exist" I wonder why you keep denying knowing that I have no anger toward things that don't exist! Your statement is so irrational that it makes me question if you think at all before tossing out such ridiculous inanities! The point is that IF your Flying Spaghetti Monster existed, THEN it would be one of the most immoral, sub-human, and hate-deserving curs ever to darken our planet! I am trying to point out how absurd and immoral it is for YOU to degrade your fellow man by publicly praising morals that suit only the darkest and most monstrous of characters. No...I do not hate Spaghetti monsters! But I do hate racism, genocide, rape, tribal elitism, and demonising. My "anger" is all intellectual, you may be sure! It is indeed outrageous that any civilised human would praise the defective characters of these terrible misfits: misfits, that is to say, when juxtaposed with their civilised counterparts of the 21st century. When I speak mockingly of spanking this imaginary cretin you call Yahweh--it is precisely because it does NOT exist! Don't you get it? I have NO feelings for or against Yabby. ZERO, ZILCH, NONE!! But I hate the immoral acts which you laud. I hate the genocide, the rape, the incest, the brutality, the murder of innocents, the tribal elitism, the mistreatment of women--the human sacrifice: all of that bizarre crap. It is low-brow and it belongs to illiterates of 3000 years ago. It does not belong anywhere in 2014. Yet here we are watching (what else is new) religious hatred turn our homes and our HOME into a war zone. Hate your stupid invisible imaginary Commander in Chief? Not a chance. But would all of you Special Chosen People--all you little helpers...please stop hating everything for just one generation?? Don't bother answering. You have your little job to do for Little Jesus. And they have theirs to do. So you all better get at it...
