>>By the way – I have no interest in converting you. I won't be praying for you. But I do have a suggestion. Organize. Last night on the news they had a story about the Baptist Mens group that is headed to Oklahoma to help with the crippling ice storm up there. The atheist mens group was nowhere to be seen. I think y'all are just jealous. Faith based groups are all about organization. That's one of the things they thrive on. Atheists should do the same. Once the evening news starts having stories about The North Texas Atheists Relief Group going somewhere do something – anything to help with flood damage or tornado victims – then you'll be getting somewhere. Until then turn down the volume – you're getting rather tedious.<<

On the "There are no gods" thread I told Christian activists what they could do if they really wanted to publicly protest something. For my troubles, Don Firth, Little Hawk and I think you as well pretty much called me a self-righteous prick. It was more or less a kind of "Who do you think you are?" thing. Now here you are doing exactly the same thing and Firth and LH are nowhere to be seen. Funny how that works.

But I NEVER made any claims that atheists do good things for people and Christians don't. Yet here you are saying atheists are nowhere to be seen when people need help. How the hell would you know?

You are fast going in my book from one of the better posters here to one of the worst. You need an attitude adjustment or perhaps you've always needed one and I've just not noticed. And don't tell me that you could say the same to me. Remember, I'm an atheist--I don't have it in me to change positively.

Now, excuse me, a bunch of people need help so I'm going to go home and watch TV.
