Quote from: Ecurb Noselrub on January 07, 2012, 03:21:41 AMWhy do some atheists refer to Jesus as Jeebus or Jeezus?  I'm not aware of any other person from history whose name is intentionally misspelled.  Just wondering. 

And don't worry.  I'm not going to start a riot.

I think you know well enough that it signifies intentional disrespect; an admittedly somewhat puerile approach. Considering that this is a tactic that is fairly widely used these days when attempting to demean influential figures or groups, I suppose that Christians could take it as a backhanded acknowledgement of their continuing influence in society.   ::)

There has to be something better than "ass-theists"

If that's all they've got, I give them a C- for Word Play.

I find some of these demeaning tactics to be witty in fact, "evilotionist" among them. "Faux News", etc.

Ass-theists, on the other hand...I don't get it. ??? Is that for atheists or theists?

The Asmo only uses evil lotions. That would make him an evilotionist, yes?  ???

Ass-theist?
Is that supposed to apply to us or certain misbehaving clergymen?

Yeah, they should have given that one a little more thought before going with it.

Yeah, you're right. I know why.  Just wanted to put it on the radar.  Anyway, thanks for the responses.
