assistant: In a deposition submitted under oath, Fredric Rice said:
    Oh, I'm *so* surprised you wouldn't accept it, weaseling out of it
 by trying to add some qualifier you didn't mention before, even if that
 qualifier *is* irrelevant to your criteria.  Take a look at your
 wording in the first line: you typed "atheist hate group."  The
 Communists were/are a group of atheists, and their words and actions
 were filled with hatred and murder of theists and capitalists alike.
    You can never take politics out of the equation.  Politics is just
 another tool, used by all your so-called "Christian" hate groups as
 well as Communist, atheist hate groups.  In fact, it is a tool used by
 all groups.
    So, a political party can't be atheist-based, nor a hate group?
    What you are experiencing is desperation due to your errant
 position.  I presented two atheist hate groups, and you're desperate to
 find a way to exclude them, because that makes your atheism less
 perfect, what with your pals Stalin and Mao on your side.
    I might have been comforted, had I been dishonest.  It's your own
 dishonesty you should be concerned with.  Your fundamentalism is so
 stereotypical.
    I'm a cultist?  Hmm.  That's news to me.  Speaking of fishing trips,
 it looks like you're casting about with your own fishing line.  It
 would help were you to find the right pond.
    Yeah, imagine a private club that sets limits on their membership.
 How dare they exercise their American freedom!
    Clean the jism off your monitor, Rice.  You're getting much too
 excited about the Boy Scouts.
    Morality which is based on what?
    You mean that same Bill of Rights you're trying to deny the Boy
 Scouts of America?
    So, are you ever actually going to talk about philosophy in this
 echo, or are you trying to turn this into an annex of lowlystroke^W
 holysmoke?
    Auscultare...
