A shy chap calling himself Skepticalligator (from skepticalligator@aol.com) sent us a rather endearing email message the other day. Most trolls are brave enough to use the comments. But anyway, I thought I'd give it it's own post because it has a certain something and, unlike most of Hitch's fanboys, the writer can spell beautifully.
Dear Greywolf. Christopher Hitchens' Star will shine brightly, for a long time, whether he lives or he dies.... while you, a mere SHIT-Stain will quickly erode away. I'd gladly have 100 men like Christopher Hitchens in my house, Before I'd allow you in, only to cook you, then to grind you up, and feed to my dogs. You sound like the typical brainless, honor less, humorless, Hateful Christian. If Geebus was alive today, he'd rip your head off and sh*t down your neck.
Just to show I'm not totally humorless, here's an atheist joke.
Now here's another one, which is a lot funnier.
An atheist buys an ancient lamp at an auction, takes it home, and begins to polish it. Suddenly, a genie appears, and says, “I’ll grant you three wishes, Master.” The atheist says, “I wish I could believe in you.” The genie snaps his fingers, and suddenly the atheist believes in him. The atheist says, “Wow. I wish all atheists would believe this.” The genie snaps his fingers again, and suddenly atheists all over the world begin to believe in genies. “What about your third wish?” asks the genie. “Well,” says the atheist, “I wish for a billion dollars.” The genie snaps his fingers for a third time, but nothing happens. “What’s wrong?” asks the atheist. The genie shrugs and says, “Just because you believe in me, doesn’t necessarily mean that I really exist.”
