It is not a good way to impress people who own bibles. The average, younger, more avante garde people that like porn, may be. They will get a laugh. But older, more mature and serious people may think it is casting atheism in a bad light because of the association with porn.Almighty Dotard! Please set this man straight on this issue!

I am a fan of shenaniganary, and tomfoolery, but if you guys want to not be thought of as morally and intellectually inferior to the masses, may be actions that make you belief system seem more like a frat party than a life choice should be shunned.Actually this has nothing to do with our belief system... it's just good business

You should support a more adult atheism, less about prank phone calls and porn. It would help keep the conversation constructive. Just my thoughts.

How the fuck would porn damage your mind? Watch out for the edge of that thar magazine yah: papercuts mon! Dey cut deep yah!
Oddly enough... sex (and hence porn) is something adults do. Small children usually haven't matured enough (read: grown into enough of an adult) to be even slightly interested in sex. If anything, you are asking us to support a more "childish" version of atheism... where we don't own up to sex and go all 'goo goo' over 'woo woo parts'. Also, it takes intellectual development to appreciate prank calls... at the least they are adolescent (read: well on way to being an adult).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
