The Atheist Takeover: Plan B
October 15, 2013 at 8:37 pm
A certain beloved Turkish nationalist forum member shared the following thought on the manner in which "artificial minorities" (e.g., gays) deliberately outwit the opposition:
"In short, minorities do have their ways of trying to gain a psychological advantage over the majority. Like you say, "if they don't give us what we want, we're going to go out in freaky latex suits with dildos protruding from their sides or wearing wigs and fake tits just to show the public we can actually mock them and they can't say anything about it."
If atheists/agnostics can qualify as an "artificial minority" -- and if this whole reasoned debate and asking for good evidence thing doesn't work out -- this might be the way to go.
If nothing else, it would be a hell of a party.

Or as Daffy Duck told the Shropshire Slasher: "you may be big, but I'm small!"
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

I have a Barbarella costume I'm dying to wear outside Halloween(and my anniversary).
Count me in.

Dildo dreadlocks wig, Barbarella costume . . . nice! Out there -- but nice. I'm much too modest for such displays, so at the risk of being dull I plan to keep it simple: freaky latex suit with dildos protruding from my sides.
What can I say? I'm a traditional kind of guy.

Well I can wear a dildo suit but because of my background they will have to be circumcised.
