New Motto?
October 3, 2008 at 2:30 pm
Our current motto is "Absence of belief is not absence of mind". It was originally written by the guy who set the atheistforum.com site up (yes, the same guy who stabbed us all in the back by selling the site without telling me). Anyway, some people have said that this motto isn't really that good for an atheist website, so does anyone have another suggestion?

I've always liked the Voltaire quote, ""If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him." Too bad he was a deist.

Here are a few suggestions just to get the ball rolling..

  • An open minded forum for the intensely curious.

  • A forum for those who aren't afraid to think for themselves.

  • The perfect antidote to the religious virus.

  • You don't need fairies at the bottom of it to know the garden is beautiful.

  • Abandon superstitious fear all ye who enter.

  • Embrace reality and reality will embrace you.

  • A forum for those who like the smell of coffee.

  • The Lord made me an atheist, who are you to question him?

  • Ignorance is bliss but understanding is wonderful.

  • Does what it says in the tin.
  • Discussion without fear of retribution.
  • For people who understand that the Flintstones is not a documentary.
  • Join for the discussion, stay for the lucidity.
  • A little bit of sanity in an insane world.

Can't think of any more.....

Maybe the best 4 or 5 from different members can be polled and then we can pick the best one.

I suggest that whatever is chosen should be as few words as possible to achieve our message. My offering would be:-

" for reason, not superstition "

I would personally suggest "Faith has no supporting evidence for its claims".

But that's me...y'know.

There's this religious guy that on his site has a motto that says: "It would be a miracle if a miracle didn't happen."

Maybe it would be good to have a motto that was: "It would be a miracle if a miracle DID happen."

haha.

EDIT: Also... a good one would be "Blasphemy is a victimless crime.".

Probably too late now but I've thought of one: An atheist is to a theist what unmarked is to marked.
