How atheistic are you? How many gods do you NOT believe in?


Quote by FlexGunship View Post
I mean, just imagine, you could invent a god and be like: "hey, I just invented this god--" and they would be like: "no way! Tell me about him so I can believe in him!"
Well strictly speaking, I was under the impression that's how it works anyway...

In nothing but a single space-bar hit. Admirable if not mildly incomprehensible.
Yeah! Thank you. "mildly incomprehensible" is this like mild hot sauce?

We are going places!
Love and laughter= light release.

Just a light release? Well, let me know when you're ready for the whole thing.

Oh man... now the phrase, "full release" is just rattling around my head like a penny in duct-work! Pure evil man...puuuure evil. Now it's Rick Astley singing full release. Great... I'm going to have some really weird dreams now.

Oh, come on now, really?! OK, we're not always the brightest or cleanest creatures, but thank god?!

*talks to groin* "It's OK lads, she didn't mean a word of it, stop crying!!!!"



Oh, I am going to the bad place, whatever and wherever that is...


note: Not having made me a slave? Is that a traditional ending to prayer or are you intimating about just which organs are in charge of guys? In case you're wondering the organ is:....



... The Phneebenhompherfrackabrack! It's a little-known organ first isolated by Mary Poppins and the Marx Brothers.

The answer is Both. Thank you for asking.

Well indeed very small but well known .... to some.

To the OP, I think you might consider adding "how many do you not believe in but fear going to some place, whatever and where ever that may NOT be...

Why ever would Mary Poppins feel a need to isolate Phnee ben hompher frackabrack? Was he not behaving?


Oh Dear!

*talks to groin* "It's OK lads, she didn't mean a word of it, stop crying!!!!"

How many little lads do you have staying with you? Poor Dear.

Ah, the converse of Pascal's wager? Or is it inverse? You've asked that question in a profoundly confusing way.

Hmmm, if you mean do we fear going to, "the bad place"... probably not... if you mean a fear of possible extinction, I think the universal answer would be yes.

Oh, and Phnee would have to be one unlucky guy to be the son of Hompher! Kids can be cruel, but I think that's a name-set that would really haunt a kid.

Flex: It's a decent wager, but it's not called a wager for nothing. Personally, I decline, but I know some atheists so superstitious that it may as well be religious sans organization.

Not so fast my dear lad. All new inventions must be approved by the Supernatural Patent Office. My client has since the beginning of time been in office as the head clerk.

In case your invention is not sufficiently incompatible with the other 2870, and thus capable of creating a great deal of pandemonium, it will not be accepted. End of story.

If you do not get the point – we have all the papers ready for a comprehensive lawsuit, thank god.

What about the Great Green Arkleseizure? or Almighty Bob?

So if I only believe in one God, then I don't believe in zero gods, right? This is a similar type of poll used in politics. Confusing enough to get the desired result by the pollster.

If there are 2,870 gods and you only believe in one then you don't believe in 2,869. That would be your choice.

But not 0 could mean 1 as well. And who counts these things anyway?? Poor guy.

Yup. The only reason for time is so that every lad doesn't happen ... at once ...



Chicken soup? Yes please!

No he explains it in the OP. Choosing zero means that means that you believe in all gods because the number of gods that you "don't believe" in are zero. In other words, out of 2,870, you choose to disbelieve none, which means you believe in all.
