The meaning of my name
December 8, 2011 at 7:24 pm
I'm not so sure if everyone got this, but I just wanted to let everyone know that in case you haven't noticed, the first one in my name is spelled "Athiest" as in the superlative of "atheist". It's a little play on words. Get it, "The Athiest Atheist", as in, I'm bragging. 
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Usually I can spot things like that, but that completely slipped past me. I actually thought you were saying something like you're an atheist about atheists, as in you don't believe in atheism, which is why I got confused over the content of your posts. Well done, sir!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

That doesn't quite make sense to me, but OK. Maybe I should have put a dash in there... does the site even accept dashes in names, I don't even remember if I tried.

...but if atheism is the absence of a position, there can't be a quantitative statement made

The meaning of your name is quite good.
All the members should share the meaning of their name.
The meaning of my name is good news.

We have a thread for that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
