Celebration of Atheist Women **DELETED**

After I wrote this, I got to thinking that my post, “Celebration of Atheist Women,” is out of step with what I have written in this lengthy refutation.  In other words, I have just said that others should step lightly on sarcasm in regard to outsiders, when I have failed to live up to that ideal.  The post that resided here was nothing but sarcasm, directed mainly at Nicole Smallkowski and Kelly from RRS. This only makes me a hypocrite if I defend my own use of it while condemning other people who use it.  I would also be guilty of using “special pleading,” a logical fallacy that many Christians like to fall back on.  I will make no effort to defend the practice when used by anyone–even me–toward an outsider.

But I can’t undo what has already been done.  All I can do is admit that I was wrong for posting what I did, and then move forward taking care to not repeat the same mistake.

I have re-opened the comments section, if anyone would like to take a mean swipe at me.  I will follow Jesus’ advice in Matthew 5:39.
