An Atheist Tract

At our monthly, organized militant atheist meeting (that opened with a prayer, strangely enough), the supreme leadership decreed that all atheists would now be required to distribute atheist propaganda. This is what got handed out. Feel free to make copies...

"Literally, 'Too long; didn't read'

"Said whenever a nerd makes a post that is too long to bother reading."

Or,

"Too long ; Didn't read.

"Any over wordy thread or long drawn out story that people don't want to really read, but reply to anyway.

"Also a form of trolling or humorous reply telling some one to get to the point."

Mine? I know what I said, why, and what I meant by it.

Cleanhippie's? I'm pretty sure he knows what I said and what I meant by it.

The tiny proportion of Internet users who are both unfamiliar with tl;dr and unaware of how to use Google? That's very thoughtful.

Yours? Did you just learn what tl;dr is and couldn't contain your enthusiasm?

Opening in prayer.

Required to prosthelytize using tracts.

Before you know, Thursdays nights will be door to door atheist witnessing.

And as you continue to post, you are only reinforcing the question asked in the previous post.

big words used. Must be a reading deficiency.

I understand the words perfectly. The application of the words you used is what made no sense.
