This Is Pure Fucking Genius!

Quote:Cost of admission: one soul — Satanic Temple thwarts Christian hecklers at demonic statue unveiling
Quote:Participants were also required to sign a contract agreeing to abide by the group’s rules and demands — which included a provision intended to weed out undercover Christian protesters, reported The Friendly Atheist blog.
“I agree that by signing this document under any name, given or adopted, actual or pseudonymous, I am hereby avowing my soul to Satan (aka Abbadon,aka Lucifer, aka Beelzebub, aka The Antichrist),” the contract read. “I do so knowing that He (aka The Fallen One, aka The Father of Lies) or any of His representatives may choose to collect my eternal soul at any time, with or without notice. I understand that my signature or mark representing any name, real or made up, upon these papers constitutes a lasting and eternal contract, and that there will be no further negotiations on the matter of my eternal soul.”
Maybe we could incorporate similar language into the Terms of Service, here? Might keep some of the dumber theists away. Worth a try.

Not sure what a contract would be for. All our souls belong to Satan by default, because we're all going to hell by default. You have to convert to the correct form of Abrahamic religion before you can get out of it.

Wait? what? What are soulless demons like me are supposed to do? Only allowing creatures with souls is discrimination! I won't stand for it

I'm thinking that if we add clause #15 to the Rules...
"All forum members hereby agree to surrender their immortal souls to Lucifer, Beelzebub, The Prince of Darkness, whatever."
That might keep some of the nuttier ones from signing up in the first place.
In fact, maybe we should make it #1 and bump the others down because you know theists....short attention spans!

This is brilliant! We've been going about fighting religion the wrong way all along, we should have been fighting make-believe with make-believe - of course! It's so simple!
I wonder what else religious people could be prevented from doing by telling them it has devil cooties?
“The larger the group, the more toxic, the more of your beauty as an individual you have to surrender for the sake of group thought. And when you suspend your individual beauty you also give up a lot of your humanity. You will do things in the name of a group that you would never do on your own. Injuring, hurting, killing, drinking are all part of it, because you've lost your identity, because you now owe your allegiance to this thing that's bigger than you are and that controls you.” - George Carlin

That's assuming they read the rules BEFORE they sign up for the forum

If there were such a rule and they did not read it, then it could be a lot of fun to bring it up in conversations with the religious, pointing out that they have irrevocably given over their souls to the devil.
However, I do not think that the owner(s) of this site intend to exclude theists, and so I don't think it is going to happen here.

Bingo. We're never going to have criteria for membership based on religious belief.
