I have to admit that's kinda funny.

 

[blobfish]

It would have been really funny if it were cancelled due to an act of God.

why would anyone put up funding for celebrating what they don't believe? would you go out of your way for a group that points out that you, like them, don't believe that purple, knitted elephants aren't eating all your odd socks?

Atheist groups are the RoryN of the real world. They just want to agitate for no reason other than to agitate. In the old days, communists filled that role.

uh huh. normal sane atheist just... you know... don't believe.

they don't need to run around screaming, 'look at me! i think god is a lie!!'
same as most christians don't blow up planned parenthood and most muslims don't blow up planes.

but you get crazies in every group.

...not that most athiests would consider themselves a group. not the sane ones, at least.

Yeah, the groups are the radical fringe. Any organization with the name "National" something "Party" is usually a bunch of fat fucks with nothing better to do than sit around and figure out how to make everyone else as miserable as they are.

I don't understand.

I always been told-

There's nothing you can't do if you truly DON'T believe in something.

God works in mysterious ways.

And He rests every seven days.

That's when the shit hits the fan.

Now that's funny.

Belief is a mental illness, get treatment.

It's only logical.

Televangelists say that donating money will guarantee you a place in heaven.

Therefore, conversely...well..you get it.

Both the thread starter and the ultra-predictable second poster would whine bloody murder if a "fringe" group was used to represent Christianity as a whole. Yet that's what this thread intends to do regarding atheists and these divisive, organized atheist groups.

Isn't there something about "do unto others" on those stone tablet thingys?

That shit happens every day on this forum, but to Christians. I've seen literally hundreds of wholesale anti-Christian posts here. Most don't criticize the radical Christian fundamentalists, but the religion as a whole.

Yeah, but that's not the point. I don't think that KRC would criticize someone just for being an atheist. From what I've seen, she only criticizes the agitators like these radical groups.

 

[doubleover]

they could appeal to the current administration for funding

No, but thanks for playing.

Really? That happens here? I'll have to go check it out! LOL

Shhhhhh.. come closer and I will reveal a well kept secret among Christians. Christians get horny too.
