Really?
Why do you say that? I've long felt that atheism is basically a religion in that it assumes that there is no god and goes from there. As there is no way to definitely prove one way or the other, it's a leap of faith. Declaring that There Is No God is just the mirror image of All Must Worship. It's still a matter of faith.

Oh, for fuck's sake.
You don't have to prove that there's no god, any more than you have to prove that there's no enormous pot of strawberry jam orbiting around Proxima Centauri.

I like this example
I think it's time we had a modern version of "Russell's Teapot" - strawberry jam floating round Proxima Centauri, or has anybody got any better suggestions?

A highly advanced species of badger carrying out their strange and convoluted 20-year long mating ritual on the flattest part of Deimos?

Edit: Yeah, sorry Loon, but I'm with the wookiee. It's shite, and it's completely missed the point.

I wish I could remember where I read it
but there is the idea that if you can imagine it, it exists.

So I can imagine a large raspberry jam eating badger that mops up after asteroid showers on the dark side of the moon.

And lo! It exists.

Isn't that one of the First Laws of the Interweb?
That is, if you can imagine it, then however unusual, esoteric, seemingly impossible or disgusting...it's probably been done, somewhere on the interweb.

*imagines giant pot of glue, parked slyly behind Phobos, that the huge, raspberry jam-eating badger uses to repair the damage done to the cratered surface of the moon after each asteroid shower*

*Google search currently fruitless*

It's definitely one of the laws of the internet.
But I think it might have something to do with the Multiverse (as opposed to the Universe) and many worlds theory.

So somewhere there is a version of Chickenlady who rules the world and wears a size 8 despite surviving on a diet of donuts and chocolate.

A Supreme Crow who is charming, witty and attractive
with a stunning wife and his own brewery to run in the basement of an idyllic British pub, and who can actually talk to the crows, rather than just pretending?

Google search reveals nothing...but I'll track this bastard down and usurp him if it's the last thing I do!
