militancy

[realthog]

Thanks to those wunnerful folk at AtheistCartoons.com, I may have discovered the wisest and most poignant and perceptive graphic of 2009 (artist seemingly [they need to work out their ascriptions] Ulysses Ronquillo):




Next, I imagine, there'll be some whingeing to the effect that atheism is really just a religion itself. To be as mild as I can possibly be, there are logical problems with such an argument: it's cozy, but that's about it.

Thanks for the link! Funny stuff. :-)

"Funny stuff. :-)"

'Tis too. I was expecting the site to be a bit po-faced, but I spent far too much of this morning giggling there.

If you didn't see it I made a similar post yesterday and got some good responses. So yours today made me smile. :D

What I'm waiting for is when the fundies hit the Bogus Science Amazon page: because of my total idiocy, I wasn't quite expecting it when they hit Corrupted Science and especially Leaving Fortusa, and so the various political/ideological hatchet-jobs hurt. The one I really didn't expect was the LoyalBushiePW number.

That is pretty funny. Pretty accurate too. Just stole it.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Did you check out the rest of their site?

Philcon. Spammers. This is like trying to herd cats. It looks as if the thrash will be in central Philly, which I assume is good for you. Watch this space.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Yes, I did.

I shall, indeed, watch this space. Gail is also making arrangements with her cousins, which will no doubt intersect with ours.

The pub at the Crowne Plaza in downtown Philly is called the "Elephant and Castle" I note with interest. It even has an old red phone booth.

I think this is both VERY funny and VERY sad! But, mostly funny ! LOL

I thought about you and TB while posting this. As TB will doubtless have told you, in England (not so sure about the rest of the UK, even yet) the atheists and the CoE -- and even many RCs -- get on just fine: you know, the morality's the important part and the supernatural part can be left up to personal interpretation. The Jesuit priest who married me to my first wife told me he'd much rather I were an atheist than a moron.

You yourself, by the way, are regarded by all of us godless atheists as a very special and wonderful person. Just thought you ought to know that.

There's beer? Where do I sign up?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

You've got to gulp down the wafer first.

[mastadge.livejournal.com]

I assume you've seen this one:

[realthog.livejournal.com]

No, I hadn't! Another goodie -- thanks!

[melindadansky.livejournal.com]

This did make me giggle.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Then my efforts have not been in vain!

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

Hilarious cartoons!

Hey, you . . . I'm reading your "Beach of the Drowned" in Hutch's antho Under The Rose: damn fine tale. Love it. Absolutely love it to pieces!!!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Absolutely love it to pieces!!!

Ooo, thanks!

Oh my -- and to think while, all those other religions are damning the "godless" to hell, a good point of beer with the Godless seems so much more fun.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Yes, and you can do it on a Sunday without being threatened with Hell!
