Even so, as Your convert, in fact as maybe your one and only convert, I
worry for Us. Sooner or later, one of the believers will come along and
point out a fact they’ll think is damaging to this new atheism — I mean,
that it hasn’t actually convinced anyone. In other words, they’re going
to paint our Side as somehow intellectually Unfit. And the idea of being
called Unfit, to this newly minted atheist, is just too much to bear.
Back when I was a Christian, I was taught to embrace those kind of
people — you know what I mean, the maladaptives. But as an Atheist, even
a new one, I’ve learned to despise them all as Nature’s mistakes. Being
put on the losing side would be what You might call a personal
Devolution for me, something gross and Unnatural. Like having an
opposable thumb and not even texting with it!

Other than Greg the rest of us should find this amusing. Greg is not
likely to enjoy it as it applies a principle of evolution outside of
biological life development.
