Abolish all religion - it causes more trouble than its worth!


I'm sure there's some bloke looking down from heaven saying "it was
only
a
wind up, I didn't really expect them to be following the stuff 2000
years
later."

Save the world from slaughter and become an atheist.

Where does one sign up for that? Do you know the address of the local
temple?


...and why would an atheist have a temple? A temple to worship, erm,
nothing?


Ah, but you see, it's a religion in itself. A decision not to believe
in a god.
There are people of like mind, so therefore it is a religion.


Not really, since A-theism by DEFINITION is not about a choice NOT to
believe in god, but more or less decision to constrict a world that
ignores the possibility, probability or otherwise, as *irrelevant*.

The religious amongst us would like to puzzle us with questions like
'when did you stop beating your wife' but the response of 'I don't have
a wife' seems not to satisfy them.
