I find it the height of amusement that in other threads which predate this one, those with religious scruples objected to agnostics and atheists showing up to put in their two cents worth in religious threads, given that this thread has attracted those of religious conviction.

I wonder why this thread is filled with thiests & christians explaining themselves also. Reverse intrusion.

Let's face it, controversy is exciting.

Extrusion? An awful lot of that around, I think.

I once had a girlfriend who told me, in essence, "You are going to believe in God whether you like it or not." Needless to say, it was a short relationship.

Edgar, maybe you misunderstood her. Perhaps she was saying that she would have you yelling in bed: "Oh my God."

I wish you were right about that, jl. I could have made her my life companion were it not for that one conflict.

This thread seems to bear out what I have long suspected. If we're not gossiping about deists and agnostics we have little in common - nothing to sustain a thread by just atheists.

Stands to reason. Stamp collectors are going to tend to have something to talk about. A group of nonstamp collectors, not so. Other interests, y'know.

God's in heaven, thinking about where to go for vacation.

"How about mars?" an angel says. "Too hot" replies God.

"How about Venus?" the angel asks. "Too cloudy" God says.

"How about Earth?" the angel offers. "Whoa, no WAY!" God shouts. "Last time I was there I got some chick pregnant, and they're STILL talking about it!" Very Happy

...Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Seriously though- Just ditto what Frank said, and that'll be my $.02 cents. If there is a God, I'd sure like him to come down and help us out. We can sure use it.

Rather reminiscent of a "round the pot bellied stove" conversation on a slow day:

"Think it'll rain?"

"Nope."

"Hmmm . . . "

"Think there's an omniscient, omnipotent being who created and controls the universe?

"Nope."

"Hmmm . . . "

All you people who don't believe in God might be less inclined to being real "devils" like those who claim to believe in him and know nothing about him. Mad

We atheists have little to talk about, at least those among us who are atheists only because theism makes no sense. If we were satanists, as some theists suspecct, we would have a lot to talk about, pray about, and have ceremonial rituals to perform together. Or perhaps, if we were "activist" atheists, we could pray to and worship a No-God. As it stands we atheists of the "passive" sort--simply because theism makes no sense--come together for simple fellowship and the reassurance that we are not alone in our deviance. I wish we could share some beer.

That's a grand idea, JLN. Just come and join us in San Francisco on April 9-12, and I'm willing to even share a meal or two. Look into the San Francisco forums for further info.

I understand you atheists cannot be distinguished from a theist in any way...so long as your horns are covered in thick hair.

Is that correct?

hmmm.....been wondering why I've worn my hair long for most of my adult life. Wink
