  Door to Door Atheists

  by Gollum in

  1. social
  2. humour

  other than the bad flashbacks of my going door to door, this is great.

  directed at the mormans, but probably applies more to the dubs.

  they just don't have a central location like the mormans.

  JDubs at the mall and other inventive ways to put in "time"

  2. experiences

  has anyone else seen the jdubs at the shopping mall ??

  they sit at a table with all of their wares displayed hoping to lure people away from pottery barn and macy's.

  i did a double take when i saw this and then had to stand back and observe for about 20 minutes -- what i observed is that no one stops at the table except what appear to be fellow jdubs.

  npr has revived an old radio thing from the 50's called "this i believe".

  the one yesterday had penn jillette (kind of my hero anyway) getting around there requirement for a positive assertion of faith, by saying he positivily believes there is no god.. anyway, it's now become my favorite essay.

  here's the link with the text and a link to the audio.
