Yet another godless unbeliever
August 8, 2015 at 11:45 pm
Hey!
My name's Matt, I'm from Australia. I was raised a Catholic but fell away from the faith as a yoof. I suppose I identify as a militant atheist. I like this description as it takes what so many churchies use as a snarl phrase to demean and belittle us back and gives it a positive spin.
Cheers
Matt

Welcome.
The serving cart will be by shortly. The grilled baby is exceptionally moist and tender tonite.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Hey there, Lefty. Welcome to AF
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Be sure to barbecue kittens, record the NFL without their permission and rip the tags off of your mattress.

Welcome Lefty. Enjoy our mostly sane forum.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-

Welcome Matt!
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
