The Second Coming
A few of you know have read some of my comments, and even perhaps have read my geek blog about evolution. And I've made some conciliatory comments about certain Christians, that they can come to reason, and potentially except certain realities and yet retain their deluded state. Perhaps we can find back door ways to keep evolution education in the schools, fight global warming, advance women's and gay rights, right?
Well I've got a really good idea that comes straight from the pit. Something that might help me redeem myself.
I guess stuff like this comes to me...well, because I really have a black, black, cold black heart. You know, the godless, festering, prurulent kind. So I read this piece in the online NY Dailey News that gave me an idea. Click the link now and read it before you continue:

So OK, what I think we should do is this. Quietly, subtley, organically spread a rumor over evangelical hill and dale that the cross like object in space is indeed the second coming of Jesus Christ. If we could plant this dirty little meme across the bible belt covertly, it would be really a lot of fun, and perhaps we can see even more intellectual implosion of the religious right.
"Holy Shit," you might say. But I would say that we can do this. We need to do this. Not only that, we should also say that the cross is going to reach Earth on Dec. 21, 2012. That would be a hoot.

I would amend your tactic. Loudly, brashly, repeatedly shout "I am an atheist and this is not the second coming!".

Now, now. I expect to be supported by you people. Don't be a buzz kill. The point is to turn on the light and see the cockroaches run. Point is I'd like to see some X-ians go doomsday on each other, line up for the rapture, that kind of thing. Sometimes we shout, sometimes we do the mess-a-round, cuz it just feels good.

I'd really not like to be anywhere near any Christian that decides to "go doomsday"
Sorry, but every end-of-the-world-movie I've ever seen could have been very easily derailed by a few rational thinkers.
It isn't the natural disasters that will do us in, it's the cross-toting, witch burning crazies.
