News:

if there were no need for 'engineers from the quantum plenum' then we should not have any unanswered scientific questions.

I have a question. Do we have a thread somewhere that we can tell our experiences with stupid religious people? I have a funny one that happened during lunch but I'm not sure where to post it. 
If it's mainly how you feel religion effects their behaviour; then Religion.
If it's mainly how you feel their behaviour effects/impacts on you because you are an atheist: then Life as an atheist.

But either would be OK.
If religions were TV channels atheism is turning the TV off.

I like the second one. Very catchy.

I'm open to suggestions, the divine hatred hasn't showed up yet, maybe if I get the title right it will.  It could be a test, it is a test, I know it is a test.

Believe in God or Go to Hell, It's Your Destiny
Believe in God or Go to Hell to Suffer Eternal Pain, It's What He Made You For.


I like the "it's what he made you made you for" one.
Law 35- "You got to go with what works." - Robin Lefler

Wiggum:"You have that much faith in me, Homer?"
Homer:"No! Faith is what you have in things that don't exist. Your awesomeness is real."

"I was thinking that perhaps this thing called God does not exist. Because He cannot save any one of us. No matter how we pray, He doesn't mend our wounds.

How about a more commonly used one:
Believe in God or Go to Hell to Suffer Eternal Pain,the decision is up to you.
or
Believe in God or Go to Hell to Suffer Eternal Pain,It's your choice.

Try talking to him in English?

My husband is very hard to wake up and a lot of the time, as he's waking up, he says things that make absolutely no sense.
Last night our son woke up and it was my husband's turn to get up with him, so I poked him a couple of times. At that point he turned to me and asked, clear as a bell, "are there a number of seats which are optimal for vicars?"

I almost died laughing, which did not amuse him at that time. And, of course, there's nothing harder than not laughing when you aren't supposed to  :P

"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

You should've given him an answer, started a conversation based and waited to see how long he would take to notice the strange scene (i.e wake up).

My wife is like that. It is weird, soon afterwards she realises that what she is just said made no sense, she smiles and then goes back to sleep.

Ahahaha. Great link, Tank.
Thanks. He was all the rage a couple of years ago when he first went viral. I didn't realise they were keeping up their blog!
