[Closed] The advantages of atheism

You don't have to wear a purple cloak and take a chicken to slaughter every week.
(satanism's a religion too you know!)

Although if you are an aethiest,when you die is it a case of "All dressed up with no place to go?"
And should you be on a terminally malfunctioning plane heading into Manchester.....vertically,at warp speed, what do you do whilst everyone else is kissing their arse goodbye and praying?

... and I still do the ridiculous Sunday dressing up part:

Wrestle the controls from the pilot and aim at Stockport?

I just like to take the piss.

Yeah I'd noticed that. The question was do you ever get "taking the piss of other people's beliefs" fatigue ?

Belief is as good a substrate as any...

How about other substrata, like the way some people dress ? Surely the way Asian and African people dress is worth taking the piss out of ?

Personally, I think men who walk around in all weather in shorts look like right ****s. What do you reckon ?

Seize the controls and try and score a direct hit on Morrissey, Alex Ferguson or Terry Christian? 🙂

Edit: Higgo is way quicker off the mark than me...

take photos out of the window :o)

should there be a judgement day SFB's face will be a picture.

I shall be taking the gods to task 🙂 Eternal argument anyone ?

17. If you have difficulty ignoring things that erode your self-esteem for no good reason, you'll only have workplace bullies and advertising left to contend with.

you answer my unanswered questions on the Aplha thread and I'll reciprocate.

why pick on them in particular ? The way [b]everyone[/b] dresses is funny 🙂

doubtless you're right, but it amuses me :o)

Looking at your pic SFB I can understand why you think there's no god!
If god created man in his own image..........well............why would you bother replicating something that looks that bad?! 😆 😉

Wrestle the controls from the pilot and aim at Stockport?

no, my mum lives there!

why would you bother replicating something that looks that bad?!

he didn't get my good side!

There's some brilliant unintentionally (I assume) funny stuff out there 🙂

You don't have to worry about whether you are worshipping the right god.

does [b]anyone[/b] actually do that ? Aren't they too busy decrying the heretics ?

You miss the Alpha thread Barnsie - doncha ? ......19 pages of endless and meaningless waffle. It must have been heaven for you.

I don't remember the question. Ask it again and perhaps we could bring it back to life.

............ and on the 3rd day it was resurrected.........and Simon Barnes ascended into heaven 8)

18 - you can argue for hours with believers and walk away with your opinion unchanged by "but thats why it's called faith" arguments.

The noise may just be the folk ringing the bells up so they are ready to go into action, ie. perched with the bell facing up. This is always a right old clatter.

19 pages of endless and meaningless waffle.

you shouldn't be so self critical!

It must have been heaven for you.

but mercifully curtailed 🙂

I don't remember the question

that's your homework that is...

you can argue for hours with believers and walk away with your opinion unchanged

of course I don't argue the atheist line myself, as I find it too dogmatic. I'm prepared to believe that we're all god or God/s.

I go on holiday and you bastards have a full on "religion" thread without me.

Not very christian of you. 🙁

This is always a right old clatter.

no it was more of a ding-er-dong-er-er-dang etc lack of synchronisation but not syncopation (which would have been a good trick)

Very droll, Stoner.
Too many Muslims on this site, that's what I think. And Hindoos.

barnes vs ernie FIGHT AGAIN!

barnes vs ernie FIGHT AGAIN!

I wouldn't so characterise it. Ernie seems to find me very irritating for reasons which aren't obvious to me, or perhaps he's just pretending for comedy effect ?

II have a question. Who wrote the bible?

Hey Moses, leave the Muslims alone - they haven't been invented yet in your reality!

I go on holiday and you bastards have a full on "religion" thread without me.

Not very christian of you.

It was quite civilised stoner as a rampant atheist I could barely raise any interest.
It was typified by its ability to capture SFB's interest for more than the occaisional post and he almost landed Ernie 😉
I think it lacked a key ingredient, begins with rude and ends with boy!

But you've got to admit Barnsie, I did apologise :

"where Ernie admits he's been talking the p1ss"

WTF ???? Isn't this whole thread about 'taking the piss' ??!! 😯

How the **** did I misread that ? 😕

Sorry 😐

quite an admission given what had gone before!

19. I can covet my neighbour's wife as much as my conscience will allow.

quite an admission given what had gone before!

Yep, indeed it was. I had frankly no idea that it was a serious thread.

I don't know why ...... but I had assumed that you were spouting bollox because you were taking the piss.

I couldn't have guessed, that it was simply because you just spout bollox 24/7 😐

He was in the church all night on his knees.

I bet the priest loved that 😉

Religious holidays.

Free day off work!

I'm an athiest btw. I await the witch burning.

I couldn't have guessed, that it was simply because you just spout bollox 24/7

well, I try to hold true to my own arbitary beliefs while taking the rise out of people, and it doesn't seems like bollox to me 🙂

Always makes me s****...

20 - Cos atheists will die out as they don't like having babies as much as people who get god. What does Dawkins say about that?
