Subject: Re: As this is the Atheist forum...
the humor free responses taught me a few things about Atheists and about this being the wrong forum for me.
I think humor is particularly important here. But the intent has to be clear. In speaking, tone of voice imparts humor to a seemingly serious statement. But when we have to rely on written words, sometimes a little :-) after a comment is needed to make the humor apparent.
And you also have to keep in mind that some posters here seem unable to leaven their views with humor regardless of how clearly it's expressed. So you have to take them with a grain of salt.....and a chuckle.
