You're a member of this forum for your lack of belief, just saying.

Am I a member of this forum for my lack of belief too?

Why ask when you already know the answer?

Why are you telling people why they're here if both you and they know the answer?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

We love pointing out obviously ridiculous statement?! 😘

Sorry, this kinda doesn't jive with me. Atheism is not set of rules or needs to be. It's just an intellectual position of having no belief in existence of god. It doesn't need to be cultish.

CFA seems to want to put those shackles in place. Not interested.

I'm sorry, but this really is too much. Shackles?! Really?! You'll be condemning civilisation next for shackling citizens by making murder and theft illegal, or perhaps next in your line of fire will be those dastardly parents who shackle their children by insisting they say please and thank you and wash regularly. On top of that, nowhere have I said CFA membership should be mandatory. Shackles indeed - fuck me, hyperbole much.

You're a member to learn (slowly as it's been) about what Pastafarianism is and why it's the one true faith.

Wow, any organization that had those 5 rules or guidelines shouldn't get a single member.

They are a pseudo-random collection of thoughts from internet forums, plus a plug for spawning new members.

The CFA sounds just a like a chain letter, but with fewer promises of "blessings" or "bad things happening" if it isn't passed along to 20 friends and family.

@Apollo and @arewethereyet Yeah even being a very strong militant Atheist, both of you are spot on, I wouldn't
even join this. @Lawz I think you need to re think this bud, where do you get these rules?

‘Shackles’ I said and ‘shackles’ I meant.

What is the difference between CFA putting strictures on how I should behave and an established church doing the same thing?
