I suspect that believing in an invisible man in the sky who threatens you, and has this really good deal for you if only you do what he says, or more precisely his self appointed representatives say, but listens to everything you ask of him, isn't going to fall under any workable definition of "rational" that has't been bent over a sofa and rogered from behind so thoroughly you could use its arsehole as a cat flap. For a tiger. Riding on a motorbike. With a series of other very overweight tigers in some sort of large pyramid formation. On an aircraft carrier. Sideways.
Anyway, my revelation (for my gods* speak to me too), says that everyone else's revelation is false. All my reasoning from that point, which constitutes a valid theology, says you're wrong, so nyah.
And that probably constitutes religion hating, I'll break out the fainting couch and smelling salts for anyone having a tough of the vapours.

Yes, but Ut is talking about Roman Catholicism, which is actually the true religion, and has a pope, lots of saints and miracles, and a deity you can eat, unlike all of those irrational religions.

Oh well why didn't someone say so. Of course this means I now take everything back. The catholic religious institution has the best hats and, and this is important, IN NO WAY HAD A SECTION OF ITS ORGANISATION DEDICATED TO THE COVER UP OF THE ACTIONS OF PAEDOPHILE PRIESTS (gosh, that came out louder than expected). That's how you know it's Da-One-Troo-Church-a-Gawd. See?
Of course this is irrelevent to the truth of any propositions or claims they might make. However...how did Ut put it...oh yes...it doesn't hurt.
Look! Look! I can dismiss ideas by tarring them with nasty assertions! Look! I too can couple the tiresome and irrelevant to something. Perhaps I should do a little dance of smug, sanctimonious glee?
Oh that's right, I shouldn't.
I know I'm a Meanie and an {gasp, reaches for fainting couch} Atheist {dun dun duuuuuuh!} but really if the level of someone's discussion cannot elevate itself beyond the sublimely unconnected and incoherent then mockery is really the best way. Good old Thomas Jefferson had it right on that at least.
