h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well done that life-form! I came here from the American TV Preachers forum, and I frankly suspect that, as you said there, you are indeed going to make some enemies from this Entry - but for whatever it's worth, you've certainly earned my admiration.
I'm going to go and check out that National Secular Society site Gwennie mentioned now.

I hereby second that motion!

Please visit the National Secular Society website and if you feel so inclined, join them (I have). They're an all round good bunch!

Mine also. If you've read this article and what some more on a similar theme, try my Cynic's Guide to the Bible.

Okay then... I'm off for a quick peep!

Looks like we're forming our own atheist's club right here on h2g2....I'll devise the secret handshake...who wants to design the silly hats?

Me! Me! Me! I'm really into silly hats - you should see the one I picked up at my local Red Cross shop! (My hubby refuses to be seen with me when I wear it.)

I would be delighted to join your society and would wear the silly hat with pride. However, I have something to confess: I do belong to a Church. In fact, I hold the exalted rank of Prophet in The Church Of The True Brownie (see http://www.h2g2.com/A193754 for the sordid details).

No worries there. As long as you are worshipping a food, you're not worshipping a god, which is what atheism is all about. I myself have composed the Book of Glazed, which compares the Christian faith rather unfavorablly to a dozen donuts. However, the whole thing is so incredibly funny that I have refused to publish it on h2g2, because I want the copyrights.

I'm up for the Atheist's club. Maybe we could call ourselves Jehovah's anti-witnesses, and go round to vicar's houses and try to convert them with our zealous fire (and doughnuts)?

I reckon we shouldn't have to go round recruiting and converting people. The trick is to be so exclusive that people want to join for the prestige (or just wearing the silly hats).

Perhaps we could amalgamate with the Order of the True Brownie and offer them reproductions of the holy Brownie?

Sounds like a good idea!

As High Priest of the Church of Glazed, I can tolerate, but not support, this heresy of brownie worship. The Church of Glazed only recognizes one truly Holey dessert pastry.

Is your church "glazed" because it's all nice and shiney or because it is transparent, like glass?

Personally I like puff pastry because its full of air (or wind) rather than holes!

Have you checked out this chap's home page (www.cyberdespot.com)?

How about Jehovah's Fraud Trial Witnesses? Just a thought. I don't really mind as long as we don't have to go round ringing people's doorbells at 8am on Sundays like the JWs do round my way.
(At least they provide a great excuse for unbiblical language).

I'm up for silly hats and brownies, as long as nobody minds that I also belong to another organized religion: http://www.h2g2.com/U98357 (in my defense, let me point out that I'm the chief bad guy.)

And by the way, there are plenty more biblical contradictions pointed out at http://www.cygnus-study.com .

Heretic! There is only one true path to the Lord, and that is through the gateau! Renounce the glazed, burn the brownie, cease the sacrilige of the Jehovah's Fraud Trial witnesses! The Great Gateau can stand only so much before it must launch a bloody crusade against the unbelievers in it's mercy! We will burn them with our loving forgiveness, and put them to the sword in the name of tolerance!!!!

But just think of all the calories - wouldn't everyone get incredibly fat and unfit and "go to heaven with a headache"?

Please, Wowbagger! We at the Church of The True Brownie believe in ecumenicalism. Let's not have a Jihad over this.
There again, if you insist, we'd be ready for Operation Dessert Storm...

ROTFL I can see it now... the carnage... the blood, the cream cakes splattered all over the place...
