God of Love, God of War, locating the meme

When I started getting reactions to the effect that people had never heard Christians claim that they have a God of Love who's an improvement on the earlier version, I wondered if I'd been hallucinating-- quite an unnerving thought, since I know I forget a fair amount, but I don't think of myself as especially much making things up.

However, I mentioned this discussion to another friend, who came close to wondering what was wrong with you guys that you hadn't noticed something so obvious. Some questioning established that he's heard it a lot from bible belt Protestants, and he thinks it's been fading in the past decade.

Phrasing question

Meme seen on Facebook:

Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.

I'm curious about what function "anyway" serves in the sentence. I find that it seems to add almost no meaning (I think it affects the point of view slightly), but the sentence seems desperately incomplete without it. Possibly a matter of rhythm?
