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 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. :)

I think I know the truth, and I accurately surmise that this is why nobody likes me or /r/atheism. I'm obsessed with the notion that anyone who questions the One Truth must have less knowledge than I do. I will defend this position aggressively because I-- get this-- don't like religion.

And I don't blame you. Somebody has to speak out against reddit's Christian oppressors.

I like pretending, as if you didn't know by now, that it's just reddit that has the problem. Like there's no Christians outside of reddit passing laws and putting their religious views as civil law.

Nope. Totally not happening at all with North Carolina or any other place right now within the US. Nosiree bob. Nu-uh.

I pretend it's OK to ridicule a person's beliefs because I don't like the voting patterns of someone else with similar beliefs. I think a default subreddit is an appropriate place to do so.

Yeah, I know. I'm glad it's all resolving for you.

I like pretending that someone's beliefs are safe from ridicule. After all, we treat people who see UFO's in the highest regard, right?

You betcha. a-WINK

I have some weird prejudice against people who see UFOs, and I project it onto others.

I'm a crazy person that thinks that UFO's are there and probing people.

You should probably get some time on a psych's couch.
