    I know this is "The Funny Side of Religion" thread, but after reading the "Killarney cross over crucifix" thread, someone was curious about a symbol of Atheism, and I remembered Dawkins Red A symbol from a while back, hit Google, and happened upon this.

    I'm hoping some here will appreciate the humor... gave me a bit of a chuckle anyway :D

    At last! A decent atheist logo!

    Well 'not found' isn't quite the same as 'doesn't exist'

    Coming soon, the 'mod_agnostic' module for Apache.

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.

    Birth Control is Sinful in the Christian Marriages and also Robbing God of Priesthood Children!! [Paperback]

    Once you're done laughing at the copy, click to "look inside this book", marvel at the ALL CAPS text and creative spelling of words like "shepherd", and then check the reviews.

    Well, that's not crazy at all.

    Had a quick look at some of the contents. In the index, chapter 10 is called "POEMS AND PRAISE TO OUR CREATOR GOD: AND TO OUR LORD AND SAVIOR: EMMANUEL JESUS WHO IS>". Who is what? And why the triple spacing (which boards doesn't display) and random punctuation? I'd love to know what editorial passed this.

    It's worth clicking just to read the reviews.

    Yes indeed,
    I found that reading this book was quite an epiphany. In fact, reading this book was a lot like dating my last girlfriend - both were overpriced, and all I got out of it was a sore wrist.

    Though at $143 for the paperback copy I may just give this one a miss.... :P

    Some say that he has been on Boards for nearly a decade, and that he randomly uses bolded text. All we can say is...:D:):D:)

    Sadly,
    That analogy often fails because religious types can often see 'abstinence' as a position or stance. Working, off the 'ideological' stance meaning of the word.

    As opposed to the 'this is where you place your feet when engaged in this act' meaning of the word? This may be the germ of a hilarious christian comedy of errors sketch. I must fetch my pipe and slippers forthwith.

    God Was ‘Unaware’ Of Church Sex Abuse Scandals, Claims Vatican
    THE VATICAN last night dismissed suggestions that the God our father had any knowledge of sexual abuse scandals committed by 4,392 Catholic priests over the past 60 years.

    A spokesperson for the Vatican denied that God, 84tn-years-old, knew about the ongoing molestations prior to the first reported case twenty five years ago.

    The supernatural creator and overseer of the universe is named with hundreds of other church officials in a letter written in 2005 suggesting he, and all those who worked for him, were aware of paedophile priests.

    Yesterday, Vatican spokesman Fr. Federico Lombardi said he only learned about the allegations against God earlier this year when a copy of the letter was emailed to him, and was “shocked” by the news of the charges........

    Not a patch on this though



    '..and god vanished in a puff of logic.' Well that planted a seed. I was ten :)


    Wish Dawkins would write a book called 'Well That About Wraps It Up For God.' :pac:

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
