If I put a certain word in CAPITALS does that make it obvious I'm being SARCASTIC?
So if you really don't want a conversation but instead just want to make a statement about GOD or ATHEISTS or EVOLUTIONISTS or XTIANS you just put them in capital letters and hope everyone understands that somehow your question is sarcastic, right? Sadly you're only going to get about 20% of the readers to go along with you. But hey, worth a try right?
Thank you! At least a few of you out there got my point. Sadly the ones who do this probably didn't. C'est la vie. Yes it's hard to convey sarcasm in the written word, but CAPS most certainly doesn't do the trick. But to be fair, there are some people who miss sarcasm in the spoken word, too.

Actually, no. Sarcasm is difficult to discern in the written language. Use of capitals usually gives the impression that you're yelling at someone, or you're on a rant.
