Atheist territorial perceptions and behaviors |
Do the atheists on this forum seriously consider this place their exclusive
territory, similar to how animals mark their territories?
If so, what do they perceive the task of protecting their territory to be?
What does it entail?
What would happen if a city were completely atheist? Do you know of examples
in history of a culture that was atheist and respected human life and
dignity?
If you are the in US, are there places or communities in America where you
would describe as being atheist territories that people should be warned not
speak the Bible in?
If you were in other parts in the world, are there atheist territories in
your country today that you know of where one should be warned not to speak
the Bible in? Have you visited them? If so can you describe your
experience?
God bless you,

No, the relationship between animals and urine is perfectly
analogous to the relationship between Christians and churches.

Damn, you're an arrogant *****, aren't you.
But you have convinced me. Any god that would allow you to speak for
him, isn't worth pissing on, let alone worshiping.

If you'd read our FAQ, you would have the answer to
that rudely phrased question.
If so, what do they perceive the task of protecting their territory to be?
What does it entail?
Why should we tell you? Who are you?
What would happen if a city were completely atheist? Do you know of
examples
in history of a culture that was atheist and respected human life and

Not one that was simply atheist. The ones you are so unsubtley
hinting at were Communist.
If you are the in US, are there places or communities in America where you
would describe as being atheist territories that people should be warned
not
speak the Bible in?
If such a place existed, which it doesn't, why should we tell you?
If you were in other parts in the world, are there atheist territories in
your country today that you know of where one should be warned not to
speak
the Bible in? Have you visited them? If so can you describe your
experience?
You are a loon. You come here attacking us in one message and
then want us to give you inormation in another. Consider yourself
outed as a bigot, a trouble-maker and a damned poor spy.
God bless you,
Something that doesn't exist can't do anything for or
against you.

Methinks societopia is ashamed of himself; knowing that he's an animal
and ashamed because of it. Therefore, he must distance himself from it
and poke fun at others to make himself feel better.
Sad, really. And so animalistic... ;-)

Are you going to answer any criticisms or are you just one of those hit and

masturbation or just using your hands and some KY?

Why do you post such utter drivel? Your church is a gathering place
for people who share your beliefs. Alt.atheism is a newsgroup for
atheists. You would not like atheists walking into the middle of a
service in your church and telling everybody how silly their beliefs
are. Atheists do not appreciate morons such as yourself posting your
insane insults to alt.atheism.

No, strictly pissing-in-their-skull cultures. Perhaps a bit of

On a more serious note, I don't think it's hard to imagine the violent

that 'was atheist and respected human life and dignity'. Such a thing would
simply never be allowed to establish itself: the 'threat of a good example'

Too heavy on the sarcasm? I did go a wee bit over board on the
cannabalism. Atheism has never been, to my knowledge, a school of
culinary thought.

I rather enjoyed the idea that a city would up and declare itself
"atheist."
"On Tuesday, the City announced plans to abolish theism in all public
buildings, effective the next fiscal year. If you must pray, you are
kindly asked to do it outside."
Can you imagine the Jehovah's Witnesses reaction to that? The
Watchtower presses would overheat. They would be beside themselves
with a [false] sense of purpose. It almost makes it seem like a
necessary endeavor: "Atheist City, your philosophical gateway to
nowhere." The motto needs a little work.

Atheist City would become a tourist attraction. Theist groups would
come from all over to protest and pray. A hefty motel and meal tax
plus regular tourist spending could make some money for the city.

Many parts of Antarctica are atheist but I doubt any such heavily
inhabited place exists. What you don't understand is that a major
difference between atheists and theists is that atheists don't care if
you believe. In fact, I prefer that you believe if that's the only way
you can behave with any sort of moral decency.

Nope. It's where we post to. However, newsgroups do have rules.
Check it out here:

Read and learn, societopia. You are welcome here, as long as you follow

follow the rules are treated: Usually, but not limited to killfiling,
arrogant and abusive responses, hate-filled spew, and threats against

Well, perhaps not the fruit, but apples are evil. Not MacIntosh, but

If so, what do they perceive the task of protecting their territory to be?
What does it entail?
Hoping that those who post here follow the rules so we don't have to
resort to threats against your fruit.
What would happen if a city were completely atheist? Do you know of examples
in history of a culture that was atheist and respected human life and
dignity?
I don't know. Do you?
If you are the in US, are there places or communities in America where you
would describe as being atheist territories that people should be warned not
speak the Bible in?
Who said that you could not speak the Bible in here? Atheists do it in
here on a regular basis.
If you were in other parts in the world, are there atheist territories in
your country today that you know of where one should be warned not to speak
the Bible in? Have you visited them? If so can you describe your
experience?
With all due respect, societopia, newsgroups are not real-life
communities. You cannot link one to another.

Nope. It's where we post to. However, newsgroups do have rules.
Check it out here:

Read and learn, societopia. You are welcome here, as long as you follow
the rules. If you cannot, you will be treated as all that refuse to
follow the rules are treated: Usually, but not limited to killfiling,
arrogant and abusive responses, hate-filled spew, and threats against
your bowls of fruit.
Well, perhaps not the fruit, but apples are evil. Not MacIntosh, but
those Granny Smith apples. *shudder*
Oh, I'm getting off-topic. Back to your post.
Has anybody had a good Pippen lately? I haven't been able to find them.
Superb balance of fruit and tartness. We used to get an apple in
Michigan that was green, somewhat soft and mealy, tart, and made a great
pie. Anybody know what those are called?

They're hard to find, as they require a long growing season. If you
scout around on the 'net, you can order them from southern California,
where the growing season is the appropriate length.
I use Newton-Pippens to make apple pies, although I haven't done this
for several years now.

Thanks for the tip, but if it's not at the local market chances are it
will get put to the bottom of the list. Right after I fix that floor
lamp I bought at a yard sale in 1981.

Hard to say - a ginger gold, maybe?

There's an old cider mill near where I live - upstate NY, the
original US apple country :-) - that sells about twenty
varieties of apples in season, and they put out lots
of samples. I had my first Macoun there this past season,
and if you can get them fresh they're wonderful - crisp like
an apple, sweet and juicy like a pear, good eating!

A tour of the site jogged my memory. It's a Lodi.

Cider mills are a big deal in Michigan in the fall. I've missed that
since moving to Utah. I had the good fortune to spend most of last
summer in Corning, NY. Spent some time up in Sterling also. Great area.
