1. I've heard it is pretty much impossible to be a good person and an atheist.

[intaglio]

2. I know, we're terrible

My Sigoth and I have sometimes used baby oil in our sex lives - but only if made from organic babies.

[Warren Stupidity]

3. it isn't enough, they have to be fair trade and gmo-free.

[intaglio]

5. But at least, as atheists we don't fall for the

extra virgin baby oil scam.

7. DUzy!

You win the Internet!

[onager]

12. No! NO! You CANNOT award the Internet!

You do not have the power to award the Internet to anyone!

I read something like that in...er...another group. At first I could not believe anyone could be so clueless. "You win the Internet" and its variants have been around a long time.

Then I saw who posted the message and thought: yep, that particular poster CAN be that clueless.

[riqster]

16. It's a figger o' speech, yup.

It would have been more fun to say "I have faith that the Internets are awardable", but I haven't the energy for what would ensue.

21. a finger o' speech?

oops, my glasses again.

[riqster]

23. I flipped a lot of "fingers of speech" back in the day.

18. the internets belong to Comcast

25. Duzy!

26. But how do you know what's good

without an invisible man in the sky setting the rules?

4. But....

Don't they know that the Flying Spaghetti Monster boiled for their sins?
May they all be touched by His noodly appendages
R'Amen!

6. sure but it was only al dente

FSM only went so far for us.

[Arugula Latte]

8. But He was thrown against the wall and he stuck for us all.

[Warren Stupidity]

9. In my house he stuck to the ceiling and my brother missed Disney that night.

The sacrifices we make for our faith.

10. Didn't your parents understand the concept of holy ascension?

They deserved fifty lashes with a wet noodle ... oh, wait ...

[riqster]

11. The Eyes of Meatball see all.

[Voice for Peace]

17. More DUzy -- entire subthread

!!

[AllyCat]

13. I don't know that I'm an atheist, but logic tells me

That humans do good, god or no.

[intaglio]

14. There are the faithful who insist "you cannot be good without God" but ...

But many other faithful consider that to be divisive nonsense.

[kairos12]

15. My response is always why do you need God to be good?

[rurallib]

19. not just god, but the right god

[Warren Stupidity]

20. well that was my problem, right, or stage right?

I could never remember.

[defacto7]

22. Read history and the news...

I think you will find humans do good things, and humans do bad things, god or no.

Atheists have been give the stigma by many theists that we are bad, terrible, selfish, lying, dangerous, worshipers of science and Satan. These posters are trying to relieve that falsehood by showing a few normal people with love, joy and peace in their hearts and lives to help break that irrational prejudice. That's the point.

24. In a theology class in college (Catholic college for non-religious degree)

we read Albert Camus' The Plague. It was interesting that our professor pointed out that although the doctor in the story is an atheist, he still helps people during the plague at great peril to his own health. "Why would he help people with no god to guide him?" asked our professor. The most on-her-sleeve religious student in the class raised her hand. "Because if he doesn't, who will?" Exactly. Atheists I have met have a firm grasp on the need to help others rather than pray for the person and hope someone else does it. Many religious folks also do good works. They don't need a pat on the back to do something for someone else. So we don't hear about them on the news like the trademark Xtians.
