aa - The Polls Are Open! TQOM for Dec 2003 |
G'Day! Well, it's time to wrap up another year and start making a list
of breakable New Years' resolutions. I have a list of a dozen or so
candidates I intend to have whittled down to a few golden finalists by
Thuirsday. Here's hoping everyone had a great holiday!
Here are the nominations for Theist Quote of the Month for December
2003. Vote for your favorite by responding to this thread. Votes will be
accepted until midnight, Dec. 31. See rules below. Questions? Comments?
Email me.

1) Impossible. Anyone who does not believe in God, believes in Satan.
There is no other way.
By: Eric
Nominated: nemo
Seconded: Phylter
------------
2) i'm sorry if such things are hard for you to deal with. they are
self-evident, regardless of your dogmatic adherence to the concept of
objective reality.
By: randomuser
Nominated: Liz
Seconded: nemo
------------
3) In response to:
*****. Learn where the burden of proof lies.
On you. You're the one asking people to risk their eternities by
unbelief.
By: Uncle Davey
Nominated: Clayton the Yogurt Based Beverage
Seconded: Blast Femur
------------
4) In response to info about the historical problems with stories of
Jesus' birth:
They must be pretty poor historians to ignore the Biblical account.
By: Uncle Davey
Nominated: raven1
Seconded: Blast Femur
------------
5) In response to:
Coercion is morally wrong, if you want to talk morals.
No it's not.
By: BW
Nominated: jwk
Seconded: stoney
------------
6) There (sic) "gods" were only fictional material in books.
By: duke
Nominated: the cutest atheist
Seconded: Tink
------------
7) I have been talking about my understandings, yes. But that does mean
I "know the truth". The truth is always unknown to the intellectual
mind. The mind can learn some understandings but the mind can never
claim to know the Truth. God is the unknown.
By: Eric
Nominated: nemo
Seconded: AngryJohn
------------
8) But it would be nice if these fuckheads would at least respond to
the facts that I post instead of just making their gay insults.
By: derng
Nominated: Mekkala
Seconded: Martin Thomas
------------
9) Faith IS absolute certainty, BASED upon SUBSTANCE and EVIDENCE.
By: Christian
Nominated: Iain
Seconded: AngryJohn
------------
10) A huge part of the illeteratacy problem stems from the liberal
agenda.
By: Jeff Strickland
Nominated: Brian Westley
Seconded: socode
------------
11) In response to:
Really? Then perhaps you can explain why the LDS converts people
after their dead in iorder to boost church membership?
They don't do that to boost church membership. What they do is for
something special and the person the work is being done for can except
it or deny it in the space they are in.
By: Captain Apollo
Nominated: khartoum
Seconded: Vic Sagerquist
------------
12) I feel people in California,Japan,etc have a special hatred for God
because they are stupid enough to build tall buildings in known
earthquake zones, but that's off the subject. Natural disasters don't
really bother me, it's like the earth going to the bathroom - it just
has too happen. I'm not a scientific genious but how can you blame
disease on God when we're the ones who pollute the earth, destroy the
ozone, introduce vaccines which make disease more resistant, etc.?
By: Greendream
Nominated: Gregory A Greenman
Seconded: lizzard woman
------------
13) In response to:
You said _you_ left your husband. (Now if anything is worthy of stonification, that is
it!) Since you did, is there any reason for him not to remarry? Or is he as fundy as you
are?
I didn't "leave" him. We agreed to divorce when I told him I wasn't
interested in continuing my life with him.
By: georgann
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Michael Nash
------------
14) In response to:
What part of "sin no more" don't you get, georgann?
What I get is a full pardon every time I sincerely approach God with a
repentant heart because I have received His son - the ONLY provision
that God will ever honor for such an exchange. That IS the contract that
IS the New Testament.
If you want to remain judged always guilty by God, just hang onto the OT
laws the way that you do.
By: georgann
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Cujo
------------
15) In response to:
If you have a religion that can stand up to critical examination, bring it
forward for us all to see.
Nothing can stand up to atheistic critical examination. You guys are the
proctologists of Religion.
By: angelicusrex
Nominated: Ron Baker
Seconded: Tink
------------
16) In response to:
Why are athiests so intolerant?
Because they believe they know the Truth better than anyone else. Anyone
who believes to have the truth on their side tends to become intolerant
and aggressive.
By: Eric
Nominated: Soylent Green is Clayton....BITE ME!!
Seconded: Robibnikoff

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);
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, the word "nomination" MUST appear
somewhere in the subject line!
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!
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 either be placed in the designated thread.

Khartoum aa#2110
When two men of science disagree, they do not invoke the secular arm;
they wait for further evidence to decide the issue, because, as men
of science,they know that neither is infallible. But when two
theologians differ,since there is no criteria to which either can
appeal, there is nothing for it but mutual hatred and an open or
covert appeal to force.

I haven't broken my last new year's resolution, made some twenty years
or so ago: not to make any more new year's resolutions.
And now to the votes:
This one wins the "You believe what I believe you believe" award.

Xian morality: it's not just an oxymorn any more. And it also gets my
vote this month.

No it's not.

The blather-meister speaks.
7) I have been talking about my understandings, yes. But that does mean
I "know the truth". The truth is always unknown to the intellectual
mind. The mind can learn some understandings but the mind can never
claim to know the Truth. God is the unknown.

I didn't "leave" him. We agreed to divorce when I told him I wasn't

This one wins for me because of its sheer "wait, WHAT?" factor. (The
"illeteratacy" problem one comes in a close second.)

Seeing as I always break my resolutions, I'm thinking of changing tactics:
I will not lose weight. I will not give up nicotine.
But enough of that. My vote:
