After a while, I considered giving being euphoric a rest. Then I discovered Marxist critique of religion and ascended the power of my euphoria to new and glorious heights.

Is euphoric what people refer to with the angry atheist stereotype?

Or "militant atheist", a term which will never not be both laughably absurd and infuriating to me. Militant theism gave us the Crusades, the Inquisition, 9/11. "Militant atheism" refers to... atheists writing snarky books.

It's a meme from this particularly cringeworthy post on r/atheism, I believe.

Damn, never thought of that. Gotta try it, I became complacent after the cave in checkerboard and never did anything new.
Only DF players can complain of complacency after achieving the apex of ambition

There's a considerable difference between a militant atheist and an atheist militant. One will destroy you with FACTS and LOGIC while the other studied the blade

What would be the point of studying the blade? If god doesn't exist you can't stab him.

That post single-handedly ended New Atheism.  It was like a giant mirror.

As the number of folds in a katana approaches the infinite, its sharpness begins to reach such an incredible point that it can cut through nothingness as surely as somethingness
