Quote from: "karadan"My favourite atheist is me.  :)

Yeah, in this context my non living pick would be my dad.  Living, I would have to go with my friend Casey.  He's blunt and open about being an atheist, and he has a sweet Darwin tattoo.  =D

Actually if one considers the person who would be most responsible for my atheist world view it would have been my father. He died in Dec 77 and I still miss him. One can see the attraction of a religion that says that one will see one's parents again when one died. Trouble is I'd need to go to heaven to see my mum and hell to see my dad. I wonder if there is a religion were you can just be normal and hop between the two as you feel like it  :hmm:
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

Through various loopholes you could do that with mormonism ... allegedly mormon hell is still meant to be better than life on earth ( according to my missionary friend)

My favorite "live" atheist is Dan Barker, seconded by Richard Dawkins.  My favorite, NOT famous atheist, is my wife, by FAR, and I kind of like myself.

People in the "celestial" kingdom can leave their planet ( the planet they become god over) to visit loved ones in "lower kingdoms".People in the celestial kingdom (super heaven) get sealed to their families which means their familys say with them for eternity. That creates a paradox or two but hey who am i to judge?
