The Atheist's Book of Bible Stories - new - The "Just Pretend" Religion
by RunningMan inthe just pretend religion
i was rooting around on the internet today, and i came across something that gave me a unique insight into how fundamentalists have a good time.
one suggestion was to have the kids re-enact the ten plagues of egypt.

Yes I read the whole thing, I'm not impressed, I make arguements for a living, give me the material and I'll argue any point you want convincingly. As folks are fond of saying around here, show me the facts.

Also, I had friends that vowed they would not buy their children violent toys, they were pacifists and didn't believe in violence and wanted their children to grow up to be like them. I asked how it was going and they rolled their eyes and told me their children (twin boys) would get sticks and either pretend they were swords and hack each other to death or guns and shoot each other. Its in our nature to be violent and blood thirsty, so I'm not shocked and repulsed by the ten plagues game, its a bit bizzare but nothing that is that big a deal from what I see children come up with on their own.

"You guys are the most preachy atheists I've ever met!"
by GetBusyLiving ina christian friend of mine had a melt down this weekend and screamed at my roommate about both of us being "preachy atheists".
he also said, in talking about me, that "i can see it in his eyes, he think's he's right!
" it was after a bunch of drinks at a bar and my roommate said that he was nearly in tears.

Tetra, I agree, I don't know that all of the evils that the Soviet Union committed were because of atheism, but by the same token I don't think that every evil committed by man has been because of religion either so to me that leaves us back at square one, as you put it, big brained apes piddling along in our quest for food, shelter, and clothing. And religion being the most dangerous label that separates people? Hmm, not sure if I buy that, seems to me race is a pretty strong selling point for hate and the division of the human family.

As the Classicist pointed out, the old Soviet Union was a huge experiment in atheism and it didn't seem to deter aggression, killing, devaluing human life and so on in the way Mr. Dawkins seems to think it would.

Serial Killing More Common Among White Boys
by Valis inyep that's right if you are a white boy you are most probably a serial killer, because richard ramirez and wayne williams were only flukes.
never you mind anyone on the planet could be a potential serial killer, all we know at this point is most of the ones we have caught are whiteys...see?

I think I'd have to say the Sunday meeting (Talk/WT Study) mainly because the congregation we went to when I was growing up had the meeting in the afternoon. That was just brutal as a kid, beautiful Sundays cut in half by the meeting, watching the kids outside playing as we drove off to the hall for our Sunday brainwashing. And if we went out Sunday morning it was even worse, just the whole day shot.

Good question Skyman, I have often wondered the same thing. I assume the articles get proofed at least several times before publication, does no one say, umm, gee guys, do you see a problem with this article.
