Why don't atheists sound smart?

What do you mean by a christian?

I have a friend who thinks there might as well be a god, remembers a few primary school stories of Jesus, who seems OK to him, loves christmas carols, remembers about 3 of the so-called commandments, sees church as a place for weddings, christenings and funerals and wouldn't recognise his vicar. He calls himself a christian although the above is about as deep as it goes.

Cool, he has a vicar.

Yep.

The title should have been, "Why doesn't Penn Jilette sound smart", or something like that. (And I'd love to hear someone defend that point.)

Or even better, 'Why doesn't Teller sound smart'. :p
 
Just imagine doing this on a day when the Gideons are around!

You walk onto campus, the Gideons hand you a bible, and you take it to the union and trade it for porn.

And then back to the Gideon, back to the union, repeat until you can't carry anything.

Personally, I want to know what is the level 5 porn, and what do you need to turn in to get it?

(BTW, kudos to the kid; sounds to me like he blew away Carlson, who really didn't have a response. "I don't agree with what you are doing" is the best he can come up with, but all his reasons were shot down.)
 
On a scale of 1 to 10 in helping people understand atheism?

You can't be serious. Bounce around this forum (not to mention others) and you'll see plenty.

Actually if you read my post you will see that I did bounce around this forum and could not find any that assumed all Christians were fundies.

That is why I asked if you could quote an example.
 
The competetion for 'most stupid' seems to be heating up this season though.
All of which is to say, I welcome the controversies this season over Christmas. Every time a school district bans Christmas carols, every time the ACLU dispatches a busload of lawyers to fight a nativity scene, every time the ADL declares the Christian Right "dangerous," it's a reaffirmation that the faith is not dead. Dead religions don't give people the creeps. They don't make atheists mad. They don't keep Alan Dershowitz up at night. But Christianity still does. What a relief. It's nice to see that our faith still scares people.
