1) The rapture's already happened and Jimmy Hoffa was the only one
worthy.
By: Witziges Rätsel
Nominated: Douglas Berry
Seconded: lizzard woman
------------
2) In response to:
If there is, and was, only "one god", then what the hell
is this paranoid schitzophrenic gaaaawd yammering about?
Obviously there must be a bunch of gawds or else why would this one be
so paranoid? He sounds like a runt bully who wants to get your lunch
money before the bigger bullies show up and kick his *****.
By: Dave
Nominated: towelie
Seconded: Meteorite Debris
------------
3) Please come back just as soon as you establish that our desire for
survival and our sympathy and empathy for others no longer has a useful
function. I can easily attach a rational value to my feelings. It is
quite obvious that if we were all free of such feelings (i.e. if we were
all psychopathic) society along with all of its benefits would cease to
exist. In addition to that it is just those feelings and my association
with others based on those feelings that makes my life worthwhile. I do
not want to override them, and I do not need a god to tell me that.
By: thomas p
Nominated: James, The Apostle that Jesus Molested or Martin Crisp
Seconded: Liz
------------
4) Christianity is not a religion of love and hope. It is a religion of
hate and fear. It's a religion of 'you're either for us or 'agin' us'.
It's a religion of, if you aren't one of us, you are going to hell to
suffer horrible agonies for all eternity (unless you're saladbar
Christian, and that's a whole nother story). It's a religion of cringing
in fear, resentment, ignorance and pulling your forelock. But,
basically, it is a religion of fear.
By: Michelle Malkin
Nominated: Meteorite Debris
Seconded: Vic Sagerquist
------------
5) In response to:
Yep. The saliva of *all* snakes, including "harmless" ones, is mildly
toxic. However, in the vast majority of cases, it produces no effect
in humans beyond a mild stinging or burning sensation.
Much like Duke's posts.
By: Denis Loubet
Nominated: Budikka666
Seconded: Harry F. Leopold
------------
6) "You're traveling through another dimension -- a dimension not only
of sight and sound but of the mindless. A journey into a devastated land
whose boundaries are only those of fundamentalist theology and Neocon
ideology . That's a bullet riddled signpost up ahead: your next stop:
the Dubya Zone!"
"But first a word from our Sponsor - Halliburton, et al."
By: johac
Nominated: Harry F. Leopold
Seconded: stoney
------------
7) In response to request for votes on a Twit nomination:
Sure - he has my vote - it's the atheist version of praying for someone.
By: Kate
Nominated: Incubus
Seconded: Raptor514
------------
8) In response to:
Anyone know how Noah stopped all those animals from eating each other?
Hot sauce.
By: Vic Sagerquist
Nominated: lizzard woman
Seconded: Tink
------------
9) In response to:
Unbelievable! But .... where is aa#2219.1? Did he or she convert?
Did he or she found the true meaning of god®?
Yes. Absolutely. 2219.1 is, in fact, the *only person who ever found
this "god" people yap about so much.
Unfortunately, she forgot to poke holes in the lid of the jar.
By: Mark K. Bilbo
Nominated: Kate
Seconded: Enkidu
------------
10) There is no god and nobody is his prophet.
By: Mani Deli
Nominated: Incubus
Seconded: James, The Apostle that Jesus Molested
------------
11) If God had wanted me to attend church, he would have created me
with an IQ of 51.
By: David Francis
Nominated: Jez
Seconded: Robibnikoff
------------
12) It is only hearsay that says that hearsay is inadmissible, so that
argument for inadmissability is inadmissable..
By: Virgil
Nominated: Incubus
Seconded: David V.
------------
13) Re: 62 ft Jesus in Ohio:
So, does this illustrate the bible verse where Zombie Jesus clawed his
way out of his grave to feed on the brains of his followers, only to
starve to death?
By: Brian Westley
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Robibnikoff
------------
14) You're trying to use science on a flock of gabbling crucifix
junkies? Good luck.
By: Bubbabob
Nominated: Martin Crisp
Seconded: Harry F. Leopold
------------
15) I never thought I'd see the day when a Christian actually admitted
that the best -- nay, perfect -- Christian is the ones who is literally
brain dead.
And here I've been thinking it was an insult all these years.
By: Tukla Ratte
Nominated: Douglas Berry
Seconded: Brian Westley
------------
16) In response to:
I notice you ran away from our previous argument.
It's like in sports, when the other team is giving you a thrashing, and
you abandon the stadium, jump on a bus, drive to another stadium, and
send the other team a note daring them to come play you.

Here are the rules for the Quote of the Month Contests.
RULES
1. Only atheists and agnostics may participate in the contests.
2. A quote is a valid entry for the contests if:
a. The quote is a brief piece of text
b. The quote has recently been written in alt.atheism (verifiable),
and is original (no quotes by famous authors, for instance)
c. Nomination of the quote is made by an atheist or agnostic
in alt.atheism
d. Nomination of the quote is supported by at least one other
atheist or agnostic in alt.atheism;
e. The quote is not nominated or seconded by the person who wrote it
in the first place (no one is allowed to nominate him- or herself,
but a person can vote for the quote he or she wrote.)
3. There will be two categories: 'Atheist Quote of the Month'
and 'Theist Quote of the Month'. The category for which a
quote must be nominated must be mentioned by the atheist or
agnostic who wants to nominate it.
If a quote is miscategorized (e.g. an atheist quote is mistakenly
nominated in the Theist QOTM category), the quote will be re-directed
to appear in the correct category, with approriate notification.
4. Nominations can be made until five days before the first of the
next month. If quotes are nominated after this period, they will be
considered as entries for the contest of the next month.
* When making a nomination, please use this format for the subject
line:
"aa - <A or T as applicable>QOTM Nomination (was: <original thread
name>)"
5. Each atheist or agnostic who visits alt.atheism has one vote to
cast for each category (two votes total).
6. Voting starts 5 days before the end of the month. During the month,
votes will be ignored. This way, all nominees will have equal chance of
winning.
7. The two winning quotes will be published in the QOTM Archive.
SUMMARY
A nomination must contain the following information:
1. The lines of the quote.
2. Who wrote it.
3. Who nominates or seconds the nomination of this quote (that's you!)
4. Which category this nomination is for.
5. The word "nomination" MUST appear somewhere in the subject line!
6. The original thread title must appear in the subject line.
Publish the nomination or support for a nomination in a designated
thread, preferably called "[T/A]QoTM Nomination for [month]." You can
also e-mail it to me (see below).
VOTING
1. In the last five days of the month you can cast your vote in both
categories.
2. Votes must be placed in the designated thread.

#3 was very very good (I wish I'd written it; I've said similar things)
but given the overwhelming topic of much of the past month, I have to
go with this:

Which god(s) does Simple Septic claim I believe in?
Since, to the best of my own knowledge I don't believe in any of them, I
would be interested in knowing which ones Simple Septic alleges I
believe in.
As far as I can see, Simple Septic, AKA Incubus, at least for the
moment, is at least as much of a theist as I am, and in one sense, more.
Simple Septic has a belief, often expressed, about the existence of
gods, but I have no such belief at all.
What I do have is a publicly declared ignorance of whether or not any
gods exist. Simple Septic has an equally publicly declared belief about
whether or not any gods exist.
So that Simple Septic is a true believer, but I am not.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often

that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be

Second month in a row I have to vote for Mickey.
Number 4:
4) Christianity is not a religion of love and hope. It is a religion of
hate and fear. It's a religion of 'you're either for us or 'agin' us'.
It's a religion of, if you aren't one of us, you are going to hell to
suffer horrible agonies for all eternity (unless you're saladbar
Christian, and that's a whole nother story). It's a religion of cringing
in fear, resentment, ignorance and pulling your forelock. But,
basically, it is a religion of fear.

said:
3) Please come back just as soon as you establish that our desire for
survival and our sympathy and empathy for others no longer has a useful
function. I can easily attach a rational value to my feelings. It is
quite obvious that if we were all free of such feelings (i.e. if we were
all psychopathic) society along with all of its benefits would cease to
exist. In addition to that it is just those feelings and my association
with others based on those feelings that makes my life worthwhile. I do
not want to override them, and I do not need a god to tell me that.
