I really like Violent Acres' blog. It's well written, and funny, and until now, hasn't disappointed. I can't tell if she considers herself an exception from the "most athiests" group she derides in the post "Atheists are Snobs". I mean, from the context of that post it's clear she does, but the rest of her blog demonstrates that she's a snob.
"I, myself, have not been able to claim belief in a higher power for many, many years."
"[Athiests] come off sound[sic] like condescending pricks."
Yes. Yes she does. She comes off that way in almost every post. And that's great - it makes for a good blog. But criticizing people for a characteristic you share with them is, well it's the pot calling the kettle black. "How pathetic of you snobs being all snoby. Being snoby is way beneath me."
