I'm in the midst of a religious debate with a Christian who claims that the following phrase is NOT religious:I claimed that opposition to birth control is PURELY religious.  He claimed that he could…Continue

Apocalypse Party at Los Amigos Mexican Restaurant

December 21, 2012 from 8pm to 11:15pm
Think Atheist will be hosting the official Apocalypse Party for The End of the World. Wear your survival gear, bring non-perishable food items, and maybe some booze to take the edge off your sense of impending doom.Whether the world ends or not, we'll have a great time. Not only that but, if the world doesn't end, we'll donate all our leftover non-perishables to a charity (yet to be determined)... and since the Holidays are right around the corner, the timing is clearly preordained.…See More

"You are so lucky to only get 100,000 years in Hell. I was told by a Christian I had never met before but who was good enough to call to my house that I would be going there for all eternity. All because I politely said that I did not believe them.…"

"Yeah, the whole "Christ" thing never quite made sense to me. From all the talk about the "Trinity," it would seem that Jesus was the same as God, but in a crunchy tortilla shell.  So, when he "died" ummm..actually,…"

"Thanks, Unc.  I wanted to capture the phrase "violent magic psychopath in the sky" for future use.  I'm still waiting for the trademark documents to come back..."

"Seems about right. Did you consider that there are 'real world' sympathtic sociopaths?"

"I repeat: I was saying only that being an atheist doesn't necessarily imply a position one way or the other on abortion, which is a totally different question. Similarly, not all theists are opposed to abortion. There is the disconnection. We…"
