American atheists

There are these guys who think pure logic can solve all their problems for them, so they start.

"Why are you here?"

"I'm here to see what all the fuss is about."

 "Fuss? That's illogical....We're very logical around here. "

 "Ok, well I heard you didn't like feminism entering atheism debates, so I came to see what that was about."

 "That's a fallacy!"

 "What sort of fallacy?"

 "Ad hominem!"

 "Oh, I thought I was just expressing my views."

 "No you weren't: you're just acting like a silly girl, all wounded."

 "Oh."


They think logic is resolute and masculine, hence I can't understand it. Demonstrably, neither can they.
