184. "Dramatic". By that, you mean inflammatory and demogogic.
After all, you need something outrageous and inflammatory, like a murder, in order to have your character "win" the argument--not the argument about the traffic light, which you don't care about, but the argument about religious being evil and inferior. After all, look at them...they just stoned me!

An atheist would, in an opposite fashion, argue exactly as the atheist judge did. It happens right here in this forum, where the inconsistency between religions is treated as evidence that none of them are right.

The OP, to the sense it means anything at all, is part of that. After all, you disbelieve some religions, ergo, you are atheist, and none of the people who insisted that atheism is defined as the belief in no diety make a peep. Why?
