don't be silly
it will be pretentious and wanky.

There may be the odd bit of serious discussion, but they will all be thinking mostly about how cool they are.

I always enjoyed it, I find it interesting.
It's all a bit tetchy here today. Even Agnostic is getting all shouty he just called me an isignificant cunt. I'll say a Hail Mary for him.

the problem is
an atheist society involves a bunch of people who already all believe the same thing

not quite
it used to annoy me a little bit that the atheists I knew would go to Christian Union meetings and start arguments, when generally those meetings involved discussion on which charities were being supported that term, who was going to bake the cookies etc

That is just cunty.

especially since they never turned up
to the debate evenings that were specially organised for a chance to discuss it

edit: I don't like the Christian Union (not very multi-denominational) myself but I wouldn't purposefully upset them

it was thanks to the aforementioned Christian

did he just go mad
and throw his religion to the wind?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Sep 2010, 15:20, Reply)

naa, he got fully suckered in by a street game of "pick which matchbox the ball is under"
lost 50 Euros. Me and the other guy with him couldn't quite believe what was happening, so we just let it.

As we walked off this scruffy dude flashed us a random badge and a massive pistol and said he was the police, did the guy lose some money and if so follow him.

We marched to the police station (although we could've been going anywhere, the badge didn't look like any I'd seen before and the guy looked like a spanish version of the Sweeney) and a form was filled in. None of us could remember what the guy looked like, so the cop told us. Meanwhile we could hear him being given a bit of a slapping in the next room.

Guy got his 50 Euros back, and I got a mildly amusing anecdote. Everyone's a winner.

that's pretty cool
certainly a bit naive though

the whole thing was quite surprising
it'd been a massively late night and travelling the night before, so everything felt a bit unreal.

Well they all believe the same thing about a specific subject but I don't like to think you can lump all of them in together. The way I see it is if you take a community of football fans they will on the whole all agree that the team they follow is the best but their other views could vary wildly. I don't think Atheism is a bad thing as long as it's an informed choice.

it is a bit tetchy
I'm not though and would have the same opinion.

Students are on the whole self-important and pretentious wankers. I know I was when I was one, and I even hated students then. Most of them are far worse.

Particularly Exeter students. Those cunts.

I imagine a lot of skinny-trousered cunts with unnecessary spectacles and shit hairstyles going
"OMG, yeah, I saw this guy the other day who, like, believed in god. I mean, yeah, like what a nob."
"God, yeah, like, come on, man, this isn't like, the dark ages anymore."
"God you know, I really hate the way all these priests are out there, like, raping choirboys and forcing their beliefs down, like, everyone's, like throats and like, I'm just sat here and I'm like, 'No way, I am a free and independent thinker.'"
"Yeah, like, no, like, yeah, you're right. That's really deep, like, I think it's time you graduated up to some even tighter trousers 'cause, like, I think everyone will see that you're deep enough to justify it, not like these fakers strutting around trying to tell us all that we'll, like, go to hell because we don't believe in Jehovah's Witnesses."

If I actually knew anyone who spoke like a character from 'Cluless' while living in Scotland
I would have removed their genes from the gene pool ages ago, for the sake of the species. Especially if they used a phrase like 'lol,' 'rofl' or 'rofflecopter' out loud
