aa - The polls are open! TQOTM for May 2005 |
Just got back from a pre-summer vacation to Charleston. Damn, I love
that place! I recommend it to everyone here... only don't ever go during
the last 2 weeks of May. The place turns into motorcycle hell.
Here are the nominations for Atheist Quote of the Month for May 2005.
Vote for your favorite by responding to this thread. Votes will be
accepted until midnight, May 31. See rules below. Questions? Comments?
Email me.

1) Hehehe... you know, one good thing as a God believer is that I don't
have to prove anything. :-)
By: Eric Brze
Nominated: Vic Sagerquist
Seconded: Masked Avenger

2) Seriously, I should know I was an athiest once upon a time. You
should at least start considering the concept of Intelligent Design or
at least believe in extraterrestials.

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.

It is a tough choice. The first one is some fine idiocy, but I have to
go with the irony of: "'intelligent' design -- or extraterrestrials."
Logically, if the wisdom of one irrational belief system isn't
compelling enough for you at least pick another one. At least. I
wonder what the third option would be?
