I don't think he cares.

Either that, or he is just completely oblivious to reality.

Sports teams are religions, yo.

Ever met a Cubs fan?

Or don't. Just stop posting stuff on the internet.

Now that would be a significant improvement, but something tells me the OP is going to generate at least a few threads more. If he keeps it up long enough, sooner or later we shall recognize his authority and hail him as one of the NSG elite.

Are you seriously that threatened by another group offering their opinion - which is their right in this nation at least - that you feel the deep-seated need to deny them that right so that you'll sleep easier at night, feel more secure in your self-imposed blindness, and not have to think about the fact that perhaps, just perhaps, people don't all think like you do?

Seriously?

This isn't even newsworthy so much as 'a point of interest' sort of thing. Good for them. People who aren't interested in contacting them shouldn't be. People who do have questions and a genuine interest, can. Huzzah. I for one feel not one ounce of fear or loathing at this development.

Why not both?

Or he'll get banned and stage a revolution, clearly.

That is seriously all it takes to be a religion in your mind?

Political parties are religions to you?

Given the mindless devotion they receive, yes.

If religions get hotlines, why can't atheists?

More importantly why can't criminals have hotlines.

... Please tell me you're joking.

Ah but if you're a Seventh Day Adventist, you can go to church at night.

The Ferret Revolution wrote:My thoughts... my thoughts are that you are obviously an overly religious and you think that it is easy to give up a belief your parents told you you would burn in hell for doing so. Atheism is not a cult it is the lack of one, it is the lack of religion, it is the lack of blind faith, and it is a label given to skeptics like myself that don't want to put everything they believe in on some guy from a book written by some goat herder hundreds of years ago. We are not converting people, we are helping people live happily without god. Atheism can be a hard thing to switch to if depending on your family life and where you live.

Overly religious? I don't support organized religion at all. Atheism is in the same boat.

According to that 'logic', comic book and gaming conventions are religious gatherings too.

I've found the problem. You seriously don't know what constitutes a "religion."
