An introduction, and a little hunor

An introduction, and a little hunor
Hmmmm.... this is my second try making an introduction (must have hit the wrong button last time! Smile
Welcome, everybody. I guess I would refer to myself as a militant atheist. Came here looking for some interesting discussion, and am still looking around on the site to get a feel for it. I thought, by way of introduction, I would post a song parody I wrote a while back. If anyone else has atheist-related funny lyrics, I'd love to hear them! It's a bit of work writing lyrics, this was my first attempt. And as to referring to someone as "not too smart", I do suggest they would be very smart just due to being an athiest. So I'm not really saying theists are stupid. Joke

share & enjoy,

I Hope You're Smart (sung to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "Young at Heart")

Fairy tales that seem true; it can happen to you
If you're not, too smart.
For it's hard, you will find, to be discerning of mind.
If you're not, too smart.

Impossible schemes, you concoct from your dreams,
When examined too deep, fall apart at the seams
If you're not careful, religion arrives
Then god is in your head, you'll find, and, on your side!

Don't you know that its worth, every dollar on earth,
To be somewhat smart.
And avoid, all the lies, about spooks in the skies,
So be somewhat smart.

But if you already know, that to Heaven you'll go,
And you'll wait for the End, on to see the next show
We wouldn't miss you, here have a tissue;
We really wish, you were among, the very smart!

[Musical Interlude]

But if you already know, that to Heaven you'll go,
And you'll wait for the End, on to see the next show
We wouldn't miss you, here have a tissue;
We really wish, you were among, the very smart!

Welcome aboard!

I don't know the original song, but that was fun to read.

I've written a couple sonnets about atheism. Maybe I'll get around to posting there here one of these days...
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a goddess, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed

Yes welcome. Good humor is always appreciated. Oh and congratulations on figuring out the no-man-in-the-sky thing. Well done.

Heya and welcome to AF! Enjoy your stay! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

A fan of Tim Minchin? You'll fit right in mate.
