So why aren't we angrier about getting hoodwinked? Well, the way that the blog's creator revealed it was just ... transcendent. Check out the second from last paragraph in this post and see if you don't agree.

Agnosticism has precious little to do with atheism, and I did not say anything regarding agnosticism, so I'm not really sure why you brought it up in the first place.
Furthermore, you are incorrect in your assumption that there is no such thing as a fundamentalist atheist. Fundamentalism can be defined as strict adherence to any set of basic ideas or principles. In the case of atheism, the idea is that there is no God.
Now a fundamatheist, as I like to call them, adheres so strictly to their belief that God does not exist, that they assault the pious with various references to Sky Wizards, Spaghetti Monsters, and refutation of Christian doctrine to the point that, to an objective observer, they appear to be proselytizing every bit as much as the other side.
The idea that there is no politicizing from secular society is also patently false. Who is the first part of society to make a fuss about the Ten Commandments being put on display in a courthouse? That's right, secular society, and rightfully so I might add. To say that an atheist or an agnostic does not politicize is an insult to both schools of thought.
As a Freethinker myself, I find you ill-equipped to speak for secular society. Especially when you presume that they, let alone anyone, should be entitled to intolerance.

Well, I THOUGHT I hit the reply button anyway. Can I still blame this on the comment system?

No.
Now you're just projecting. You're expanding the scope of my commentary beyond all implications to place yourself on a pedestal. Show some class and humility -- I've given your statements due respect.
As for your statistics -- there's many qualifications that need to be addressed there, but I'm currently in a rush. Maybe I'll respond to them later.

You people crack me up. I wish I had enough time to type all day. That would be awesome! I've had Spore® since it launched, last Sunday. I think it's probably the most fun I've had playing a PC game, ever. Who cares about anything else? Games are made for the purpose of Entertainment, right? Although, I must say that reading all of your comments was pretty amusing to me...
