The parasitic wasp.
This often tiny wasps lay their eggs in the larvae or pupae of other insects.

Atheist that is.

The eggs hatch and the larvae devour their hosts from the inside. They quite literaly eat them alive.

Atheist=parasit=cheater=murderer

One of these wasps, the miniscule Trichogramma, only 1 mm long, lay it's eggs inside the eggs of butterflies and moths. When the larvae hatch they devour the content of the egg and then pupate before hetching as adult wasps, but they were never any male.

So these atheist are feminist racist too!

Trichogramma appeared to have given up sex altogether, producing brood after brood of females with no male insight.

Atheist equal asexual, great this is great, worse than I thought.

On the face of it this is just another example of species abandoning sex-just like dandelion.

Dandelion is another name for atheist?, how many titles do you have?

But in remarkable experiment Hamilton showed that the wasps had not given up sex permanently at all.

No? Thank God, that sound promising, well at last good news is on the way.

If he fed wasp larvae on honey containing a strong of antibiotic tetracycline they revert to a sexual life cycle.

This is all what you need, don't forget that honey.

Both males and females were born from these larvae and, after few generations of larvae had been reared on this antibiotic laced honey, they were indistinguishable from regular species.

There you go, see that honey do a magic work.

When the antibiotic was withdrawn the wasps carried on as if they had forgotten their generations of calibacy and had males-females and had sex in normal way. What strange magic was at work here?

Yes please tells us so we can cure them, I can't wait any longer, thanks.

it turned out that bacteria carried on in the cytoplasm were manipulating the sex of the offsprings not by killing males, but by turning male embryos into females.

Oh I see, so these atheist are actually a trans? that's even worse. Are they aliens too?

After few generations of dosing with tetracycline the bacteria were eliminated, the sex change reversed and a fully sexual way of life resumed.

Don't waste the precious time here, bring the money with you and get that honey.

Would you like to explain your analogy or just continue to look like a bigot?

Agnostic Theist · 01-11-2005, 02:04 PM

Until I checked the profile I thought this was an atheistic parady on theistic bigotry.

Look, calling an (a)theist anything is akin to sexism, racism, ageism or xenophobia.

Surely in this day and age we should be judging the individuals, not the masses?

I'm addressing every bigot here, theist, deist, atheist and agnostic!

comradeBillyboy · 01-11-2005, 03:20 PM

froggy, when you make a comparison, you might try to explain or provide evidence for your position. your post is incoherent. i can tell that you disapprove of athiests. what is the connection between athiests and wasps? do you think athiests reproduce asexually? do you think all athiests are female? what is the point? if you want to do an anti-athiest rant, you don't need the silly wasp comparison.

in brief your style of argument sucks

more to the point there is no humor here

It certainly isn't English.

P.S. Whoever is teaching you English sucks. Fire him and find another teacher.

Dizzy. A feminist racist? Jimmy Higgins isn't too sure what in the world that means.

Not asexual, just in a dryspell. I could get laid right now if I wanted to... and had money.

Honey? Hmmm. Wouldn't that get sticky?

Oh man, I can't continue, I have no idea what drug you were on to type that. I'm guessing alcohol.

...and are also the basis for the Alien movie series. (Giger was fascinated by the concept.) What exactly is your point, and what exactly leads you to compare them to atheists? (Psst.... if you're talking about more than one person, you want to try putting an 's' on the end of a word.... we call this a 'plural.')

Quote:

Atheist=parasit=cheater=murderer

The first part is what Giger was so fascinated about that he was inspired to write the story for 'Alien.'

Would you care to back up the second part? Or simply admit that it's defamation? Your call.

What a non-intelligent animal has to do with atheism, feminism or racism you still have yet to explain.

By the way.... the entire rest of your post is bullshit

The bacterium in question is called Wolbachia and is in fact symbiotic with this particular variety of wasp. This species primarily lays its eggs in other eggs, and not fully active organisims, by the way.
