::::::::Where is your response? You asked a question about the paper showing you didn't read it and then brought up some irrelevant points. When I pointed this out and said you should read it and that the religiousness/obesity connection cuts the opposite direction you say it does you asked an irrelevant question about proof and evidence that atheism is true. That's obviously not the subject of discussion. And after I point that out you're going to "safely" ignore me? Thats not how civil discussions work. If anyone was keeping score they'd say you just publicly forfeited this debate, but I am not debating I just want you to please have a look at the paper I showed you and tell me if it changes your opinion on this subject. I'm not thin skinned about fat evolutionists. I am sensitive about the power of terrible arguments like personal attacks on people who don't understand that negative personal characteristics about specific individuals don't have anything to do with whether their ideas are correct. I'm pretty fat. Do you want to follow me around and hound me for drinking beer and not Slim Fast. There's no charity in it.  If you want to say something about Myers individually why not talk about him being openly derisive of our faith. Do not attack him for being fat or you look like a 2nd grade bully. Nate [[User:NKeaton|Nate]] 17:16, 4 January 2011 (EST)

The effect this essay has is this: it makes conservative Christians look petty. It makes our arguments weak. The inquisitive mind simply thinks ''Oh, they're running out of arguments against atheists, so they're calling them fat''. Maybe it's meant to be parody or comedy, but it makes this website, and by proxy conservative Christians, look stupid. [[User:JRegden|JRegden]] 18:36, 9 January 2013 (EST)
