Noah, you crushed it with that diatribe! I'm going to try that conversational technique with the Jehovah's Witnesses that are at EVERY fucking BART stop in the SF Bay area with pamphlets. They've been making a huge push with pamphletting over the last year or so that is scary to see in one of the most liberal places in the US.

2019-08-15 19:03:53 +0000 UTCThanks, Noah, for the shout-out. Richard and I will work the "Atheist Booth" at the Kentucky State Fair on Saturday. I'm sure the simile writes itself. You always seem to know that in some mystical woo way, and inevitably you touch on themes and positions I can take out there with me! We mostly just get dirty looks, but a few daring defenders come by. So now I'm armed and dangerous! Either Richard or I will have on our Scathing shirt, so you all will be well-represented!
