1) SIEG HEIL.
There once was a "land of the free, home of the brave". Future
generations will have a hard time comprehending why its population
willingly let it be transformed into the "land of the fear, home of the
slaves".
By: Thurisaz, Germanic barbarian
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Nosterill
------------
2) sometimes it's hard to be a christian
giving all your love to just one god
you'll have bad times
and you'll have good times
doing things you don't understand
By: ck19
Nominated: Enkidu
Seconded: Uncle Vic
------------
3) In response to:
Define what you mean by 'god'.
Why? A statement was made saying once a god is defined it will be
disproved. I see no need to define a god when I only want clarification
that it can be disproved.
By: Squad
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Michael Gray
------------
4) Non-evidence is not evidence, but it makes one think.
By:
Nominated: Hannele
Seconded: Neil Kelsey
------------
5) In response to:
So? [Something being in the Bible] doesn't prove anything.
I know it doesn't. I believe by faith. If you obey the commandments, and
ask God for it, He will give you faith.
By:
Nominated: Rev. Karl E. Taylor
Seconded: Michael Gray
------------
6) There were plenty of humans living around dinosaurs. The reason the
bones are never found together is that no human would get near enough to
a dinosaur to have their bones found in the same place. Maybe a mutual
suicide pact could produce sush a thing, or the sacrifice of a human
victim to the dinosaur god by pre-Adamites.
By: Bob Pease
Nominated: AZ Nomad
Seconded: Yang, AthD
------------
7) Who know, maybe a fully formed adult planed needs evolution or God
being so full of creation power some of it is left over in his creations
allowing them to in effect continue to create in their self a species
capable of adapting to their changing environment as the earth continued
to evolve.
By: Sugien
Nominated: Neil Kelsey
Seconded: Free Lunch

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.

This one, just for stupidity alone, but the goof factor makes it the
clear winner, IMO.

My there are little
let's comment them one at the time
(Go all the way down to see my choice)
1) SIEG HEIL.
o no! <snip>
2) sometimes it's hard to be a christian
giving all your love to just one god
you'll have bad times
and you'll have good times
doing things you don't understand
Yes that's what theists do:)
"things they don't understand"
3) In response to:
Define what you mean by 'god'.
Why? A statement was made saying once a god is defined it will be
disproved. I see no need to define a god when I only want clarification
that it can be disproved.
By: Squad
Nominated: stoney
Seconded: Michael Gray
------------
Deep dudging indeed! This may be the one.
4) Non-evidence is not evidence, but it makes one think.
As in "nothing can make me think" ?
5) In response to:
So? [Something being in the Bible] doesn't prove anything.
I know it doesn't. I believe by faith. If you obey the commandments, and
ask God for it, He will give you faith.
That's a good Christian,
but why doesn't (s)he believe in Shiva instead?
6) There were plenty of humans living around dinosaurs. The reason the
bones are never found together is that no human would get near enough to
a dinosaur to have their bones found in the same place. Maybe a mutual
suicide pact could produce sush a thing, or the sacrifice of a human
victim to the dinosaur god by pre-Adamites.
Is that by faith or by watching the Flintstones?
7) Who know, maybe a fully formed adult planed needs evolution or God
being so full of creation power some of it is left over in his creations
allowing them to in effect continue to create in their self a species
capable of adapting to their changing environment as the earth continued
to evolve.
Adult planed? what is that, a sex-site?
8) There was a time when I didn't believe in anything, but although I
probably have just an average intelligence, I used it.
This one should take an I.Q. test!
So nr 3 it is!
3) In response to:

Why? A statement was made saying once a god is defined it will be
disproved. I see no need to define a god when I only want clarification
that it can be disproved.

6) There were plenty of humans living around dinosaurs. The reason the
bones are never found together is that no human would get near enough to
a dinosaur to have their bones found in the same place. Maybe a mutual

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the
source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a
stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as
good as dead: his eyes are closed." - Albert Einstein
