So what do you want, a bunch of bananas or something.
Most people know how to read .

i thought..i would check out..the claim...[of rise...as in..'rise of a-theism'..and sadly..

figuring if in truwly/rising...as in athiests..'rising'..if truely...rising..athiests..they/show up in the leading/find/search..thus the search will reveal..if rising they be

..just what leads the search term's..for..'the rise of'..is thus able to make claim of rising...if not on the first or first few links..they not rising be

http://www.google.com.au/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=gd&q=The+Rise+of+&hl=en-GB&rls=MEDA,MEDA:2008-36,MEDA:en-GB

so there..at 8..we see..the athiests...after sex bombs..but then dorkins..is like viagra for the godless...theres a rise for you..

still i note..152 days..[lol..and minutes and seconds...lol...like the second comming...

there is clever marketing involved..big names..paid names?..no mention of price/cost..or any imdemnity..if they should be decieving people...mate its great..when the defacto state/and media is onside

its hard to fight..such clever marketing...no doudt the countdown counts down..to the huge payoff day...next year...

even the use of an age..link...confirms to the age..there is public intrest...via the web hit counter...lol

so thiests might not want to click the link too often..and you godless a thiest's..might just want to spend the next few hours..just clicking the link to make it look like someone gives a damm

get big fast...see the bigger you get..the more divergent you get...i note allready there are two distinct athiest sects...and the athiest prophetts..are fast gaining ground on the dorkins..who has the inside running..to became your newest messiah

freewill is a wonderous thing...are you fundimentalist athiest or reform athiest..informed..concentualised educted or traditional...or are you maybe apprenticed athiest..[or novice..meat for the gist

or high priest..because you plagerised the work of real scientists..or ,maybe just a novice..agnostic...anyhow..it will no doudt be great,...

how do you sleep at night..telling your kids//there is no god/no santa/no easter bunny...and them..not ever..reading fiction/fairytail's..or the swwill on tv

...oh..you dont go that far?...ohhh..only the god delusion...lol..till dorkins..makes his next move...vacinations/eugenics..see its a bigger plan..than kill god/good

mate cant weight..till you get the wait..in numbers..all for one...[dorkins/...with one,..more book..for you all..to buy..rebutting a negative,...

not validating the alternate..god free..religion...for the faithless..

all the flock...just one more mob..
..waiting to get fleeced

do the..right to life/athiests..get on with the abortionist/athiest?..

or is that another religion/sect/muddle/puddle you havnt crossed

NO doubt God will be laughing at these pathetic creatures of rebellion.

Good people,

Allow me to correct a few glaring, shall we say, misconceptions presented in a previous post.

There is no remuneration for any speaker at the Global Atheist Convention.

Any profits, if any, generated by The Global Atheist Convention are expected to be small.

We do not have access to the 4 million dollars or so the Federal Government and the Victorian Government have given to the Parliament of World’s religions.

All prices are here: www.atheistconvention.org.au

The marketing is truthful and is not promising invisible realms and deities.

Other observations are not worth commenting on, as many would understand and agree with.

It is impossible to rebel against that which does not exist.

The Rise of Atheism Convention is an exciting event for many Atheists and therefore the workload has increased for me enormously. I will look in later during the week.

hey man, anyone who thinks the state and the media are on side with atheism has been spending too long with their head in the bible. The state want control and they get that through religion. The media want money and there's more of that in the churches than outside..
Please attack atheism on a rational level by all means but lets leave out all the world conspiracy bulldust.
