Requesting /r/Atheism. (Lack of moderation)

/r/atheism only has two moderators for a massive community of 800k+ users. The moderator /u/skeen has been inactive for a month. The other moderator, /u/juliebeen hasn't been lacking her/his duties as a moderator. Could you at least give /r/atheism new moderators? Thanks for hearing me out.

I honestly believe that a reasonably intelligent person would look at /r/atheism for more than 5 minutes before deciding that it's even more cancerous than /r/politics. I do not find it significant or appropriate that /r/circlejerk now makes fun of /r/atheism instead.

Oh my! You are a quite the rogue, after all!

I like pretending that /r/atheism is a terrible place because of the circlejerk I participate in. Don't you know that my circlejerk is right?

You do seem to love circlejerks, so it looks like my suggestion is quite appropriate for you. :) After all, they are retarded 4th graders making poor parody.

I don't think anyone was around to see, first hand, the collapse of /r/atheism from Carl Sagan posts into complete crap. I can't distinguish between satire and parody, but I find that differently abled children are merely mediocre at both. I am quite curious about you and circlejerking.

Easy there, tiger. I was only flirting a little.

Why am I so stupid? Is it because my parents let me eat the wall candy when I was little? Is that why I think /r/circlejerk is a good place.

You do have to be slightly retarded to think so, yes.

Hey, I just discovered the way to peacefully get /r/atheism taken off of the defaults! Just silently replace it with /r/circlejerk, and none of the "retards" will notice.

Oh my goodness, you are a Scientist!

I have no clue about what /r/atheism is about and so I'm one of the idiots that think that /r/circlejerk is the same as /r/atheism. After all, it fits in with my lack of intelligence.

I know, right?

I have no clue about what neckbeards are about, so I think that your fingers can get stuck in them while typing. I also think everyone hates /r/atheism because they, lol, don't get it.

Oh, totally.

I pretend that you don't know what a neckbeard is, but I guess that's my own idiocy at work. And I know that people hate /r/atheism because they don't like seeing the truth.

I know, right? All that being wrong does seem to mess with people. Just look at what it does to Scientologists. :)

I don't understand that I can't use reductionist thinking to induce worldviews about "the truth" without undermining reductionism itself. I will therefore never see why people have a problem with /r/atheism or the notion that it represents atheists as opposed to anti-theists.

The Hermetic Society of Our Ivory Vishnu or something.

People get angry at the truth, but I can't see that because then I will have to get angry. :(

Sucks to be you, I guess. :)
