So is eating certain types of meat or doing something every weekend... but do you see the title as implying "Eating bacon is a victimless crime"? Because I can think of a lot of quotes I'd prefer for that tagline.

When I'm not being particularly crazy, I can think of at least three members here who share "my logic", and 2 with fr0d0. Me and fr0d0 may or may not have overlapping logic at times...

Welcome to the forums and feel free to jump in if I haven't welcomed you already. 
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Hi also from Oz.
What caused you to come to the dark side of rational thought?

The cause of my deconversion was christianity itself. When you know too much, it falls in on itself leaving you there standing amongst broken glass (stained glass of course). At the end, you realize that everything you attributed to god would have happened with or without prayer/intercession. So then you think, "what the fuck is the point of having a god?" Every "miracle" that you ascribe to the handy work of god then becomes seen as just another event in nature.
All in all, I realized that there is no point to god. If there is no point, there is no reason to believe. So here I am.

Unless it is my bite, and you haven't had your rabies vaccine yet
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
