Three Reasons For Joining the HappyAtheistForum

[ContraCostan]

1. Liked the forum name.

2. Except for the guy from LA, the Golden State is woefully under-represented by the membership.

3. I am an Atheist.

Hurray!

Two from California!  (wasn't that a movie).

Welcome ContraCostan...

good reasons, as an owner of a sailboat I remember how hard it was to get home. Religion means you pretend you know how to let god handle it so you never leave the shore.

Greetings to you, ContraCostan, and to you too, sailor!

Hi Contra and Sailor, welcome to the forum.

[ContraCostan]

Thank you Joeactor, Sailor (and welcome to you, with your first post), Mommasquid, Woody and finally Laetusatheos, whose username I someday hope to be able to pronounce  

[Court]

It's Lie-tus a(as in "ate)-the-ose....
Well, that's the best I could do phonetically. It's Latin for happy atheist, only all one word.

[ContraCostan]

Thank you Court. Latin for Happy Atheist? Does the pope know about this?

Thanks Court - I've been meaning to ask that myself, but was busy steeping in my ignorance!

Now I know how to correctly pronounce my own sn...I thought it was lay-et-us since I really don't know much about Latin.

[Court]

It's Lie-tus...In classical Latin. There are three slightly different pronunciations, classical, the one used in churches, and what my Latin teacher calls "English Latin", but I only know classical. I would imagine, however, that laetus is the same in all three. Only a few words are really different (like Caesar). In classical, it's said Kie-sar. It's said really wierd in church Latin, I think Chie-sar or something bizarre, and See-ser in "English Latin."

Eh, Latin's gay, it likes Greek.

Now Klingon, that's a manly language! Just like the people who are fluent in it, they get laid all the time!


If wet dreams count....
