aa - QOTM winners for September 2005 |
Here are the winners for the Quote of the Month contest for September
2005.
AQOTM: We have a tie with 9 votes each
3) In respomse to:
The old saying "There are no atheists in foxholes" turns out to be
virtually correct, at least for the U.S. armed forces.
On the contrary, there are no theists in foxholes. Foxholes are
populated by 100% atheists. The theists are standing up and getting
shot, sure that God will "do the right thing" with respect to guns,
grenades, and poison gas. Everyone who ever jumped into a foxhole,
regardless of what religion they claimed to subscribe to, is someone
who, for just that brief moment, did not believe in God; they did not
believe that the bullets would not hit them or that heaven existed to
receive them if one should.
By: Elf M. Sternberg
Nominated: Douglas Berry
Seconded: Uncle Vic
----------
9) We are accountable to ourselves, our friends and families, our jobs
and various organizations we may belong to, but we are not accountable
to a vicious sky pixie created by ignorant, frightened sheperds
thousands of years ago. There is no such thing as sin - that is merely a
very dangerous concept created by the powerful to control the weak.
There is no hell, no devil, no demons, no heaven, no angels, no gods.
These are all concepts from the childhood of humanity which do more harm
than good. It's time for humanity to grow up, dump its mind-controlling
myths and learn how to accept responsibility for its own actions.

TQOTM: Clear blowout, with 20 votes:
1) Prove in a laboratory that such a thing doesn't. You are too
intelligent for your own good like most science buffs. It's no
coincidence that most atheists are not Believers.

Seconded: Enkidu the Atheist

Heh, I have a MP3 of Metallica playing that with the San Francisco

James Hetfield even leans into the mike and does the heavy breathing
sounds.
