Hang on. Scribbles says all atheism is equivalent, so how can I be a Freak, Geek, Streak, Creek, Creak, Greek, Beak, Reek, Meek, Tweak and Peak atheist without being Bleak?

Originally posted by PawnokeyholeIt's high school all over again. The Chic Atheists and the Boutique Atheists band together to harass the Geek Atheists, who are somewhat persectued but too busy to care. The whole scene is watched by the Freak Atheists, who pass a spliff around and laugh at it all.
