"An ARIS study conducted in 2008 asked American adults with which religion, if any, they identified themselves. Only 1.6% of American adults call themselves either Atheist or Agnostic."

"I think all of them post on the Anandtech forums."

Okay, because of the last sentence, mod(s) think I'm trolling.

Obviously, not all atherists or agnostics post in the Anandtech forums so this sentence is hyperbole. I thought it was self-evident that I was being humorous/sarcastic. In the future, should I use a smiley face or other emoticon to indicate when I am being facetious? I'd like to know how I can express irony/humor/sarcasm without being dinged for being a "troll".



Now the OP says he's done. We can only hope.

Usually when you try to add in all of anandtech forum members in what some can view as a insult usually leads to people viewing it as a troll post, especially in religious threads and why many tend not to post them.

Also your post was answered here:

and making more posts here of the same thing will not lead to good things.

I'm not sure how what I said was an insult. Plus, I've made it abundantly clear here that I'm a libertarian; people should have the right to believe whatever they want. If you've seen any of the threads I've posted in, you would know that.But, if a mod has spoken, he has spoken.

Exactly, so why are you continuing to beat this deceased equine?
