The funny thing about that satire is the fact that he goes on about 'atheist meeting centres' and 'atheist book stores' and 'atheist principles on our currency'. And what gets me about that is the fact that atheists don't NEED centres, or gimmick trinket stores, or special mention on banners, flags, currencies, or official report documents. Only in a world WITH religion do such organisations or items or mentions exist. Without religion, we'd all just be, well, normal people.

Personally, as an atheist, my response to my faith is never 'I'm an atheist' but 'none of your fucking business'. I don't want, need, or accept an appellation or title based on some rediculous concept of diversity according to one's stance on mythology!

Just so you know all the examples are spoofs.....

The G.Bush quote for starters is
"I dont think athiest should be considered patriots or even citezens, this is one nation under god"

The whole site is a joke. The examples are all Christian/pro religious things in America that have been inverted.

I somehow doubt the notion of satire is within his understanding on this one...

:lol: That's really funny! I'm sure fundies think this is true, which is why they're always blabbing on about how America is so godless, and how we deserved 9/11, and stuff like that.

Sad.

Oh yes, and did he mention that in five months when I take my oath of office, it will end with the phrase "so help me Darwin"?

I find it rather humorous. Some of them I don't entirely agree with though.

#8 What's a Christian Armory? I don't think I've ever seen one down here (I know of half a dozen Christian bookstores in Orlando, though they're all small places).

#23 I actually can't drive anywhere without seeing a Darwin fish. They're everywhere.

#25 We have 6 Christian organizations on a Methodist campus. We have 10 Greek organizations, 2 philosophy organizations, and at least 20 honorary societies with no Christian links (compared to the 2 honoraries connected to Christianity: Theta Chi Beta and Sigma Rho Epsilon).

#26 Our chancellor this year is philosopher Dr. Myles Brand. I don't know anything about his religious views, but we've had ONE chancellor connected to the church, at a school largely funded by the church.

#70 Not an objection, merely a note: the Los Angeles class submarine was named City of Corpus Christi because it was considered anti-Christian to have Christ's name (as such) on a military vessel, whereas showing it was named after the city was ok :roll:.

#77 JWs, Mormons, and other religious groups actually are banned from going door-to-door in all areas I've lived in. The JWs came around twice before we called and complained to the county sheriff's office. I don't know what happened, but they never came around again.

#95 I personally have never heard a church bell. May just be where I live, they may not be popular here, but I tend to get woken up more by drunk frat students than church bells.

#98-99 The Salvation Army is a church (not sure how many actually know that). If they choose to distribute food to the poor, then IMO they have the right to attach their teachings to it. There are government-run charities as well.

#149 I actually do see Christian mispelled rather often. It's quite humorous when it's on a church billboard :lol:.

#152 No, the judge usually finds in favor of the mother because they're considered innately more caring and better able to handle kids. Half the women I know I wouldn't trust with children.

#177 It happens. The Bible has been banned from libraries.

#189 Until recently, the Greek organizations on campus used to hold rituals to their patron deities each year. I don't know which organization had which one (their records are hard to get access to), but supposedly some still do perform the rituals.

This really was a well done site overall, and I enjoyed the twisting of reality (though there were a few I had to read two or three times to understand).

8: CA, I think they are around some places, don't know about Orlando, check your yellow pages and prepare mortar shells.

23: Don't complain

25: But how many atheist or freethought organizations, and how did you include athlete orgs in that.

77: Good for you. I still get pamphlets in the mail up in Ohio.

149: This probably means you live in Florida, land of the dumb. j/k :D

177: Yes, and athiest books get banned en masse from libraries in the south.

189: You may have been quoting the wrong number

Now my own little things:
193: Didn't know America was still part of Great Britain.

76: Never one when you need one.

39: I need to do that next time I go to a baseball game.

I guess that person doesn't know how annoying JWs and Mormons can be... selling religion door to door is a stupid practice anyways. :P

Here's one of my own:
219: The Athiest Father in Rome only recently accepted the fact that earlier Fathers have been incorrect in saying that the world is round and that the celestial spheres revolve around the sun which in turn revolves around the Galactic Core, which spins around in space, and that the scientific fact that the Earth is flat, and that the heavens and planets rotate around it.
