I’m sick and bored and bored of being sick, so I’ve been wandering through blogs on Google. I’m compiling an atheist guide to dating, per the advice of fundamentalists.


Single? Looking for love? Learn to “flirt” (aka, stand around and wait to be harassed, its how Darwin does it) like a proper atheist! (Brace yourself, this guy tends towards scary-nasty):

Then, when you find that special someone, be sure to include some hot “colonization”!

Christ on a cracker. Maybe I’ve just ODed on cough syrup, but I can’t stop the hysterical giggles every time I visualize what sort of pillow talk that would translate to. “Plants”? Really? Perhaps a sexy farming metaphor…


Sorry. Most pointless post ever. And just so we’re clear, I’m not in agreement with any of the above, I just found the sheer lunacy amusing. And frightening. But also amusing. Time for more cough syrup.

I wonder what “0username0” would have to say on this, probably something about how maladaptive our current methods of sexual selection are…
I miss that guy…  smile

All right, no one is to stone ANYONE until I blow this whistle! Even… and let me make this absolutely clear… even if they do say “Jehovah”!

About the only thing that one should take seriously on this forum is to enjoy interacting with others.  Educating them or being educated by them, may happen, but better for that goal to go to school. It is also useful to be able to laugh at oneself as readily as at others.

The first link is pure rubbish but the second, if you remove all the god bullshit, actually has merit.

That doesn’t surprise me, actually. I used to follow the “Slacktivist” blog, not for the religious stuff but for his ongoing, page-by-page evisceration of the book “Left Behind” which he considered to be the Worst Book Ever Written. Granted, some of his objections were theological—the guy who writes Slacktivist is a liberal, anti-fundamentalist Christian, but a believer all the same. But he also pointed out the awful morality of the Left Behind series and the Rapture movement in general. And—he’s pretty funny when he’s just ripping on LaHaye and Jenkins for being really, really, REALLY poor writers.
