Arriving late to the party, I've got to say that I think John's really summed this up, dragged us back to topic and brought the whole thing to a proper conclusion.

And that Nick with his "faith"? Just priceless.

2. The Blasphemy Challenge

How sad to see so many impassioned athiests on here talking themselves out of taking any action at all. Don't you see how cowed they have you?

Take a look around and consider where being polite to religionists for the last couple of thousand years has taken us. This is a great idea, it's only problem is that perhaps it's not radical enough. But it's a fantastic start.

Go Blastheming Youth, go! More power to you.

PS: I deny the holy spirit.

Quotes of Note:

"We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart"

H.L. Mencken

"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense."

Voltaire

"Since our inner experiences consist of reproductions, and combinations of sensory impressions, the concept of a soul without a body seem to me to be empty and devoid of meaning."

Albert Einstein

"The fight both for and against slavery in the United States was waged first along scriptural lines. . . . There was also the theory of the descent from Ham which attained great vogue and still does in certain quarters. . . . With the superseding of religion by science the battle of inequality shifted from a scriptural wording to a scientific one. Now it was no longer what "God had said" but what color, hair, and skull showed. . . . In other words, the pro-slavery faction and the antislavery one had entered the stage in new costumes. Underneath were the same bodies."

Joel Augustus Rogers

"I don't want to sound callous. I mean, even if I have nothing to offer, that doesn't matter, because that still doesn't mean that what anybody else has to offer therefore has to be true."

Richard Dawkins
