They pulled this same publicity stunt a year or so ago. They need something new for next year. |

Well, why not use a symbol to make a point? Symbols are always powerful, whether in religion or elsewhere. |

I don't have any problem with them using symbolism to make a point My point is only that they've already done it once, with pretty good publicity. The second time around, it shows a lack of imagination. They need a new gimmick. Plus, their complaints with baptism (it wasn't their choice, they don't remember anything about it) also shows a lack of understanding of what baptism actually is, at least in accordance with the majority viewpoint of Christian theology. They seem to be arguing against something the majority of the faith doesn't really teach - i.e., that baptism signifies a choice that the "baptizee" has made. In most Catholic, Orthodox, and mainstream Protestant tradition, it does not represent that at all. Atheists' objections to the contrary, I'll be baptizing three kids in our service on September 22. It's going to be cool.

To make what point ? This is so stupid ! I am an atheist, I don't think atheists need publicity or gimmicks. Why does an atheist care if he was baptized ? If he is an atheist that had no meaning for him ... so why bother ? "De-baptize..." ... only in America ! |

That would be "voyeurism" .. watching the shahids in action with their 72 virgins each.... |

It might not be voyeurism if you're unfortunate enough to die a virgin. |

I'm wondering just what is special about their debaptizizers. Have they been unblessed by Satanists in an anti-religious ceremony? Is the design similar to the proton pack and, if so, when the baptizization is captured in the trap is it transferred to permanent containment? Is the permanent containment facility guarded by kobolds? There are so many questions. One thing is for sure, the First Church of Evangelical Athesim is right at the cutting edge of spiritual technology. |

Regardless of how hot the virgins were, if the Muslim in question were Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, voyeurism would be the last thing on my mind.

The hairdryers are powered by electricity supplied from New Jersey. It works really well - look what it did to a group of devout Christians who mistakenly dried their hair while vacationing in the Garden State. The diminutive lady on the right used to be Mother Theresa of Calcutta. ![]() |

I think what cracks me up about the atheist movement is how vehement they are. I mean, when's the last time you saw someone spending ALL of their free time arguing with Flat Earth Theorists that the world is really round? If someone believe in something you don't, you typically don't waste too much time speaking to them, you just sort of disregard them. If someone insists to me that the sky is purple, I'm not going to enter into a serious debate with them about why the sky is blue. I'm going to laugh and walk away. Why don't atheists laugh and walk away if our beliefs are so ridiculous to them? I think their utter hatred is extremely transparent and shows where their real gripe lies. |

Do you feel the same way about religious people? I have never, ever experienced an atheist coming around to my house to share his views with me at the doorstep. I never once was accosted by some stooge in a freaking plaid jacket at the end of a physics lecture asking me whether I was friends with Jesus. I never had a bunch of travelling atheists coming round to my dorm room asking me to come out with them next Sunday to sit around singing bloody horrible songs all bloody morning rather than going to the pub. No atheists have flown Aeroplanes into American skyscrapers or blown up British buses. Not yet, at any rate. I've been tempted a couple of times after the bloody Jehovah's witnesses ruined my TV watching. Maybe it's just me? And I don't even use a hairdryer. God saw fit to make my freaking hair go grey and thin at a prematurely young age, so now I have to have it cut short. Not that I'm bitter, you understand. |

You could just insert the word "Christian", or any other religious belief for "atheist", and your statement would ring just as true. Edited by Nobody's Sock, Jul 19 2010, 01:16 PM.

The argument that religious people use is that they're attempting to save our immortal souls from eternal hellfire and damnation, so it's OK to break into my Doctor Who. |

Then I would suppose that the argument from the athiest is "why spend so much of your lives worrying about the end of it". |
