Just to be forewarned my fellow heathens. Not that we have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of running into the ramifications of "assorted #%&*!wittery" from General Spirituality anywhere on DU.

They are a huge danger to themselves and their families, but not outsiders

I assume that atheist fundamentalists are at the very tippy-top of the pyramid

Crazy effers.

Which makes it hard to place them.

(113,131 posts)4. Oh, I'd put them in the "general fuckwittery" category on the bottom
It's 100% voluntary, they don't allow children to participate, and they suffer the consequences without complaint. Only problem is that it tends to be hard on the snakes, who must be perplexed at the very least.
They never bothered me so I never bother them.

At least that's what is implied by a number of posters in other forums on DU.

(9,356 posts)6. "Interfaith divisiveness?!?"
Say it ain't so!
I've read many times, right here on DU, that Interfaithyness is a mighty force, ever growing in power, that will ultimately prevail.
All right-thinking people embrace it, except for a few Fundamentalist Assholes and Uppity Militant Atheists. Fortunately neither of those groups has any political power. e.g., Republican presidential candidates would never appear in public with an extremist preacher who calls for the killing of gays.
I've even heard that the Interfaith Army is developing secret weapons. Like the Drone, a verbosity-based weapon guaranteed to put listeners to sleep within a 5-mile radius. And the Human-Based Chemical Weapon, a secretly developed by-product of Episcopalian bean suppers.
