No. Because I have the same respect for atheists and their beliefs that they have for me and mine. Sucks doesn't it? What goes around, comes around......

Did that woman do anything even slightly negative to atheists, very publically? Did her followers? Was she “brilliant” as well as a cocky prick? No? Then your example is irrelevant.
What’s fascinating is that you’re so jaded you think people are just saying they’re hoping for a deathbed confession/conversion as a means of saying “nyah nyah” covertly. You don’t know anything about Christians, obviously, b/c I know they’re completely genuine. You think they sully your Great One’s memory by showing compassion to what is very likely his ultimate end. I personally don’t believe he deserves the same fate as Kim Jong Il, but I don’t get to make those decisions.
The people praying for Hitchens are far better people than I, and, while I am trying to improve my attitude, I have a huge problem with compassion towards unbelievable arrogance.

He's not a Great One to me; I was barely aware of him. So is that why Christians are gloating now? He was "cocky?" He dared to disagree with them during his life, so they're all over the place doing the Last Laugh thing? Well, you're right, I didn't know anything about Christians. I actually had expected better of them. I will lower my expectations accordingly now that you've slipped up and clued me in.

My mistake. You were trying to get me to read your blog. Also something I don’t go for.

"My mistake. You were trying to get me to read your blog. Also something I dont go for." Another funny! Want to go for strike three?

Look, I’m not kidding: you make no sense to me. Seriously. I have no idea what you want. If you can’t just talk to me without quotes and links, let it go.
To: A_perfect_lady
You seem to be confusing me with Ned Flanders. That’s a huge mistake on your part.
To: Future Snake Eater
No, you are simply another poster who addressed me without me having first addressed him.

"I could go over there and be a butthead, and post something commenting on how it's a shame she's dead because there is no afterlife and her loved ones are NOT going to be seeing her again. I am quite certain this is true." ... Would you like to elaborate on how you reached such certainty?

No, there’s no point. You wouldn’t understand.
To: A_perfect_lady
In a public forum?! Perish the thought!
To: Future Snake Eater
So what is it that you want?
To: A_perfect_lady
You already know the answer to that. Instead, you went off on some whiny caveat about how “there’s no place for atheists to congregate on FR” or some such. Given that atheists are such an incredibly small minority in this country, I’d have figured you’d be used to it.
To: Future Snake Eater
No, I really don’t know what you want. Say it.
To: A_perfect_lady; betty boop
"Look, Im not kidding: you make no sense to me. Seriously. ..." Look, do you think that's news to me? I already know you're not kidding.
How could I make sense to someone who dwells in an alternative, or "second reality"? -- Seriously.

“You wouldnt understand.” In Jungian terms, that is such an air tight defensive mechanism that I shall not endanger your comfort by asking anything further of you. Have Nice Day

Then why do you keep pinging me?

"Then why do you keep pinging me?" A response to your questions aren't "pings".
PS: This isn't a "ping".
