Ooh, the Red Lion. That's actually pretty nice.

No no, agnostics don't know if they're going to make it, but they may or may not believe they will. This is a very subtle and important difference!

The atheists refuse to confirm nor deny the existence of said conference until irrefutable proof is provided and it stands up to peer scrutiny. The anti-theists keep saying that everyone in the whole world would be attending if they would just take off their God-shaped blinders and read some DAWKINS.

"You've all been to gatherings where you've been told to bow your heads and have a moment of silence. Well, here's your chance to fight back."

Then there will be a moment of bedlam when members hoot, holler and tap on glasses to make as much noise as possible.

Then they will all wet their collective pants at the sheer genius of it all.

How long until the first idiot comes in claiming that a gathering of people with similar viewpoints equates to a religion?

A gathering of people with similar viewpoints = a religion.

MorrisBird: A gathering of people with similar viewpoints = a religion.

Well that was out of left field!

I really wish I was going this year.

Pointless. I don't talk about my lack of belief in dragons, why would I bother with this?

/Now I've talked about my non-belief in dragons.
//And now I've lost The Game too.

EvilEgg: //And now I've lost The Game too.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Evolution is the tinfoil hat that atheists wear to keep Camaros* and Mustangs out of their brainwaves.

*I mean the old-school Camaro, the one that doesn't suck

If all the atheist get together at the same time, who is going to post on Fark?

/Agnostic.
//I don't know and neither do you. You "believe".
///Belief is a form of religion.

You don't know there are no dragons either. You believe there are no dragons. That is your religion.

Wait until I tell the Christians that they have an infinite number of religions besides Christianity.

No, it's not.

EvilEgg: You don't know there are no dragons either. You believe there are no dragons. That is your religion

That could be the dumbest post here on Fark but then it's only 9:00 Eastern.

How so? Have you checked everywhere for them? How can you be 100% certain that there aren't any? How about unicorns, fairies, or ghosts?

If you say my lack of belief in one thing is a religion, then why isn't my lack of belief in these other things a religion?

I went to the gym this morning. All those people in the same place working towards the same goal, paying a central authority from their own hard earned money, and encouraging each other to succeed in their ideology? Freaky stuff man. Reminded me of Koresh.

That totally won't be a douche-fest of epic proportions.

ne2d: That totally won't be a douche-fest of epic proportions.

No, you're a towel!

EvilEgg: If you say my lack of belief in one thing is a religion, then why isn't my lack of belief in these other things a religion?

Because religion, except for Scientology, is a belief in a deity, a creator, a God. Not dragons. And a lack of belief in something is not a religion. It's simply a lack of belief.

Mugato: Because religion, except for Scientology, is a belief in a deity, a creator, a God. Not dragons. And a lack of belief in something is not a religion. It's simply a lack of belief.

Circular reasoning is roundy.

That was precisely the point I was making. My lack of belief in something (in this case god) is not a religion.

I don't know what your problem is, all of you. Atheism is definitely a religion, something which I contemplate frequently while engaging in my hobbies; specifically, not collecting various things.

I had to give that up, it was taking up to much time.

And they think that nobody can know if they're going to make it, and that you're arrogant to point out things like a plane ticket or a hotel reservation.
