They certainly seem to make for popular art, but popularity never lasts for more than a decade or so.

If you want to make a lasting impression, you have to say something worth listening to. Or at least something that pissed a lot of people off.

if you want to start your own righteously humorless thread, please do so.

Meanwhile we are comparing Celebrity Atheists with Celebrity Theists.

And the comparison is over. I played the Bieber card and Ones The Internets! Please consult the rulez of dueling internets threadz.

Confusing fame with celebrity! Sheesh.
Some folk need to learn that famous people are those we've actually heard of.

And yes "celebrity" and "famous people" are not the same thing. See for example the recent list posted here "celebrity atheists".

I'm feeling benevolent. All celebrities are famous, not all famous people are celebrities. If you need a venn diagram, I can help with that too.

The admiral and I are in different countries right now. Sporadic communication. You know how it goes. I'm tending the Ark while she gathers the animals, two by two.
A diagram would always be helpful, though.
