Jack The Sailor "There are no qualifications. You hit the ground running and learn on the job. It's dead easy, because there is actually nothing to learn! No big funny lists of stuff! No brotherhood stuff! Just leave your bags at the door! "

"Well what a load of soft-centred, airy-fairy, cloudy twaddle. If "atheists" rewally drew this lot up they are not atheists. This reads suspiciously like the construction of the sort of belief system that we atheists simply have not got. "

Hard to believe the same person wrote those two paragraphs isn't it?

Er, no, not at all. Looking in context the two paragraphs seem consistent. I guess to someone who sees atheism as a belief system rather than simply a lack of belief they could seem contradictory....but that was pretty much what I understood Steve Shaw to have been complaining about in the 2nd paragraph above anyway!
