AFAIK lj-cut still works: it certainly seems to when I crosspost from LJ with Semagic. I think the DW syntax is just 'cut text=', though.
I do wonder whether some of the reason people keep accusing atheists of dogmatism is that they're worried about being thought dogmatic themselves, in much the same way that the worst insult ever is 'immature' if you happen to be fourteen, or, if I'm going to be a bit more provocative, that it always seems to be the pastors with the most militant anti-gay stance who get caught with their pants down in motels with young men.
Of course it must be infuriating if you've spent a lot of time in honest searching in order to arrive at your faith and people assume you just picked it up because you're too stupid to know any better, but I do wonder if there's a bit of projection going on.
