Who is "we"? The people on this sub-forum called "Spirituality", where we (are supposed to) discuss "Spirituality"?
Or people in general?
Because in general "we" tend to be critical of a lot of things that are not beneficial to our fellow humans (and nature). A lot of people are worried about the gap between rich and poor for instance, and try ...[text shortened]... d mistreatment of our natural surroundings than there is about the illogical nature of religion.

I am really not sure what to make of that. Are you pretending you didn't lie? Or admitting you lied but trying to turn it into a joke to avoid apologizing?
Do you deny making these claims? Also, I've seen you and humy both claim atheists are generally more intelligent than the average theist, which is absolutely absurd... how the hell can you claim to be more intelligent if you can't remember what you've said or understand simple responses to your messages?

"We" = atheists.
On the other hand Christian have Jesus to talk about. Jesus is The Lord of the universe. Who is more interesting than Jesus?
No one!

Have you heard of Poe's law?
BDP expressed views that are frequently expressed as genuine 'attacks' on atheists [often by other atheists] ...
http://freethoughtblogs.com/axp/2015/05/10/open-thread-on-episode-917/
for example....
And unless you put a big honking flashing sign on your post that says parody, there is no way of telling which
people ...[text shortened]... , and take them literally, unless it's clearly specified otherwise. I recommend the same to you.

😀 THIS IS A PARODY! 😀

Atheists (all atheists worldwide) are superior human beings who couldn't possibly fit that description. Just ask twhitehead, and he will tell you atheists are well educated and have a superior understanding of science. It's in your genes... it's why you are not really people at all, but more like gods who have ascended like Dr Daniel Jackson... oh wait, that's not right. i must have been thinking of something else....
Never mind. As you were... or are, or... whatever.

Originally posted by lemon limeYou saw wrong. And the fact that I called you on your claim should have been a hint to go and check before repeating the claim.
It means I've seen you (on more than one occasion) claim atheists are better educated and have a superior knowledge of science.
How could you not understand what "Maybe he read your report?" means?
Its not a meme I am familiar with and it didn't make any sense in context. Now that I know you are pretending that you still think you are correct, it does make more sense.
However, if you make the claim again - back it up with evidence.
Do you deny making these claims?
Yes. I have said certain things that may sound similar, but do not mean what you have claimed I said.
how the hell can you claim to be more intelligent if you can't remember what you've said or understand simple responses to your messages?
Memory is not equivalent to intelligence. However, in this case, I have not forgotten, you are just plain wrong. Either you read it wrong, understood it wrong, forgot what you read, or are lying.
And I can certainly safely claim that I am more intelligent than you.

If you want to do parody, then leave my name out of it.
