TET: Habemus Papam!

XKCD is still great.

Thread’s up. I can’t OP for crap.

Better than I could have done.

On that note, it’s quite late. Might be time for me to sleep.

Thank you!

Perhaps you should, yes.

Not in any way trying to discourage you, but the idea has been tried before. In the past, atheism threads have usually died out fairly quickly. I guess maybe a shared lack of belief in something doesn't make for a lot of discussion points? I mean, there probably is stuff to discuss, but it's not like religious threads where there are finer points of the faith to discuss and debate. Lack of belief is lack of belief, at least as far as I know.

But anyway, I digress. I hope your new thread fares better than it's predecessors.

Your 21st birthday really isn't as exciting as other people like to make it out to be, especially if you don't intend on ever purposefully drinking.

Same there, Kowani!

I am aware. I don’t expect it to work like the religious discussion threads. I would be quite surprised if it did. But thank you, nonetheless.

Thanks, Daru.

[Bluelight-R006]

Huh. A discussion thread on atheism.

I’ve always wondered why it was missing, but it’s filled up a gap nonetheless.

There has been many iterations of that.

There are many threads about that in the past, but many don't end up well. Let's just hope that this one's going to be long-lasting.

It’s a shame when threads give off an active spirit at first, but die out later.

Guys, am I a particularly melancholic kitty?

You seem to be alright, especially with the other kitties.

That's because atheism is not a whole.

Two atheists can have nothing in common except a lack of belief in a deity.

I am ideologically closer to the average Christian Democrat (think Angela Merkel), then to Stalin. Yet Stalin and me are both non-believers.

Atheism is merely a stance on the universe. It does not have a community or a shared school of ethics.

Exactly.

[Australian rePublic]

Peter Beattie resigned as the chairman of the NRL. I'm glad that that clown is gone!

For those of you who don't know, well into his reign as chairman, Beattie couldn't answer the multiple choice of the name of the Cronulla team, the Sharks (which would be the equivalent of the chairman of the NFL not knowing that Dallas is called "The Cowboys", actually worse, because there are half as many teams), then laughed about it, as if it were a joke. Further, Beattie repeatedly mispronounced JJ Giltinan's (founder of the NRL)'s surname as "Guillotine" (the French deception device), despite the fact that he had it spelt out phonetically on the teleprompter. He's also apparently the guy who f**ked up the Gold Coast Commonwealth, making Australia the laughing stock of the Commonwealth. The guy's a clown and I'm glad he's no longer the chairman of the only professional sport which I actively support

Exactly.

Nah, you could be an atheist and believe in a flat earth.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

The Insomnia Chronicles continue. This early morning, Nana ponders excessively about echidna and milk spots. Why? Because her brain is an arsehole. \o/

[The Free Joy State]

Exactly.

Nah, you could be an atheist and believe in a flat earth.

True. 25% of flat-earthers are not very religious or not at all religious.

9% of atheists also believe in young-earth creationism.

A lot of flat earthers are, from young, twisted by misinterpretations through their religious doctrines. Is it necessary that the education system teach the globe earth model in a more detailed manner at a younger age?

[The Blaatschapen]

Exactly.

Nah, you could be an atheist and believe in a flat earth.

Sure, I never said the two are mutually exclusive?

[The Xenopolis Confederation]

Nah, you could be an atheist and believe in a flat earth.

Imagine being an atheist creationist. "The universe was created by someone who I don't think exists."

Is that even possible?

[Ethel mermania]

You kinda did, by saying "exactly" in regards to shared views on the universe.

But I have not had my coffee yet.
