Then there is skateboarding. Since when do any people need to be able to do McTwists in halfpipes, or ride huge rails, or jump vast, dangerous gaps? Skateboarders are just show-offs. However, I have done a few sweet skateboard tricks but baseball is practically impossible for me to play. Therefore baseball is more gay than skateboarding.

T Jackson, your argument seems to be that because you believe in an afterlife, you are a good person whereas atheists are "destructive." How do you explain frequent religious violence stemming from plausible readings of rival religious texts? I fail to see a corresponding level of atheist violence stemming from plausible readings of rival atheist texts. Yet even if atheists ARE vastly more evil than theists, you have to believe in Plato's "noble lies" to think that even a false belief in Heaven is better than knowing the truth.

Just kidding. Pretty much everything we humans do has some element of lameness. For example, people who wear clothes representing teams or athletes they neither monitor or try to match in achievement with, are gay. I used to be one of those people. The Yankee baseball cap is a classic example. I used to have one, like a lot of people still do, even though I never watched a single Yankee game in my entire life. We humans are so gay, in our gayness.
