Uncle Fester

I know it is shocking, but I have my doubts.

I think I may be be going soon.

I am currently dithering between "Fester Skank" and "How bad can I be". Any thoughts on a suitable ringtone for an atheist?

I have just clicked on a link in a recent question for the Landover Baptist Church. My new phone informed me that I was blocked unless I could prove I was over 18. As an experiment I searched The Church of Satan.....No problem. Yes I know the Landover BC is a parody, But is it really considered worse for kids than The COS.

We know prayers are answered in notoriously fickle fashion. Do believers think that proximity has anything to do with efficacy?

I have recently been awarded a doctorate from an esteemed institute in Skegness (UK). At present I am in the construction industry. I am getting on a bit and finding the work hard. I would like to find an easier and more lucrative career using my new qualification.

Christians, there is no reason why God should not be trying to influence things using YA, so who on here could be your Lord and Master in disguise? Atheists, witty answers please. Oh, and which user is really Satan?

I have just got back from a two week holiday in Florida. As an atheist I expected a lot of uncomfortable questions about my religion. Instead I find the malls full on Sunday and a fairly secular view of life. Is that just Florida? Also, I was expecting huge portions of food at cheap prices and lots of fat people, both were lacking. My view of the US has been radically altered. I love the patriotism that you, sorely lacking in the UK. Is what I experienced the true US?

My vote is for Professor Hugh. Yesterday I had a spot up my nose, I prayed to God using Hugh as an intermediate messenger, and it vanished. Your thoughts?

Did God check the sexual orientation of the animals before boarding? Or was he happy to let some creatures die out?

Hebrews 4:15 - For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are yet he did not sin.  Was Jesus only tempted by the sinful pleasures available in the first century? Was he shown the future? If he was, why did he not talk of it? If he was not, then surely modern man endures more temptation than he did? Would Jesus have buckled in the modern day? If so, what modern temptation could cause him to sin?

Christians, I know it must have been incredibly painful, but why did Jesus expire so fast compared to other historic reports?. Atheists, if the story is fiction, why did the writers have him die so swiftly?

I think Omar Kyhayyam sums it up well. “The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”

Do you think there is any link between the biblical God's inability to defeat iron chariots and the mythos of other supernatural beings (fairies, goblins etc) being succeptable to being poisoned by iron? Why should it be pointed out that the chariots were made of iron? There were lightweight wooden chariots in antiquity that would have been easier to make and far more suited to battle.
