Getting ready for summer, but I keep getting hit by frost. And pollen.

4:30 AM. Yep, my vacation in a couple of weeks will be nice!
Here are the nominations for Theist Quote of the Month for April 2005.

1) I didn't mention God. You people did. Nor did I mention the planet
Earth. You people did. I made one very simple statement. No one has
ever seen a star being born. That is a fact.
By: Pastor Dave
Nominated: nemo
Seconded: Frank J Warner

2) To a degree the end does justify the means. Rahab was a harlot, and
lied to get the Israelites into the city, yet she is commended. We are
not trying to win a modern morals contest, we are trying to win your
souls.

Nominated: Liz
Seconded: lizzard woman

3) In response to:
Mark 13:13 All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands
firm to the end will be saved.
Just be very sure it's because of Christ, and not because you've acted
like a self-righteous bull in a china shop.
By: dgillesp
Nominated: Fred Stone
Seconded: John Baker

4) Harvey,
Your in over your head. The Bible is a spiritual book that must be
understood in a spiritual light. An atheist is not spiritual and
therefore not qualified to judge what is or is not true because he can
not know spiritual things because he can not discern spiritual things
via the five senses. I am not speaking in a condenscening way and do
not think that you are stupid or foolish or any such thing. You just do
not have the credentials necessary to make spiritual judgements and to
say otherwise would be to deny that you are an atheist. I would not go
to you for heart surgery because you do not possess the necessary
credentials.
I don't seek spiritual knowledge from fairy tales, (except Humpty
Dumpty and Aesops Fables and maybe some Mother Goose stuff) written by
intellectuals or people that are out to impress people with their own
knowledge; or, who are anti-God.

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.

I want this goober to live without worldly things. No computer. No
refrigerated ANYthing (beer, ice cream, ice cubes, milk, leftovers). No
microwave oven or any other electrical appliances, canned food, gel pens,
Teflon (tm), any product that was delivered via truck, train, plane or
boat. No forms of transportation that he can't feed all by his own
damnself, no phones, no lights, no motorcars, not a single luxury.
No internet.
No fucking bible, unless he wrote it by hand on paper he made with ink he
produced. Printing presses are worldly. And since he can't use the
internet, he can't Google to find ink and paper making instructions, so
he'd have to use the scientific method of testing things until they work
before he got proper paper and ink.
Well, ***** that then, too. Bugger can't even shoot himself, stab himself
with a stainless steel or manufactured blade, or hang himself. And if he
tried to starve himself, Tom Fucking DeLay would force-feed him.
He's proper fucked.

Actually, idiot, if you would learn to read, you would see that I didn't

I actually thought the real keeper was the news article that quoted the
bible thumping creationist pastor. He was complaining that he has been
attacked by the educated and the intelligent part of our society which, by
his own admission, means that he is neither.

'Realism is seductive because once you have accepted the reasonable
notion that you should base your actions on reality, you are too often
led to accept, without much questioning, someone else's version of what
that reality is. It is a crucial act of independent thinking to be
skeptical of someone else's description of reality.'-
