Under One God, not one word of that last post is comprehensible to me. I would like to address your arguments but as long as you keep posting long, rambling posts where it's not clear who said what, I simply can't respond.

You are failing to make any points that people can respond to. That must be as frustrating for you as it is for us trying to work out what you mean.

The convention centre is HUGE. I was looking here :

http://www.atheistconvention.org.au/venue

Cant wait either for the saturday night dinner ..

Is there anything planned the friday night? I presume things still being worked on?

(I know I am jumping the gun quite a bit here, I am so impatient .. and there's still near 150 days to go! harder to hang out for than xmas :)

Chrys Stevenson,

I don’t find one under god frustrating although I can understand anyone who might. The posts that OUG presents are incomprehensible and I am sure religious folk would rather they didn’t appear more than do Atheists. After all, she/he is on their side, not ours.

I asked a very simple question of OUG and that was to support the claims made by her/him that Atheists in general or I have intentions to inter the faithful in camps or gulags and re-educate them.

As is clearly shown by OUG in her/his last post, or any post, no such evidence exists. Therefore, the slander directed at me is unjustified. I would remind one under god that the alleged Yahweh/Jesus takes a dim view of such falsification. So much so, that the alleged Yahweh/Jesus included it as one of the Ten Commandments.

Allow me to quote The King James version of the ninth Commandment from Deuteronomy 5:20 “Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.”

OUG better hope Atheists are right and there is no god. :))

Woot,

Friday night will begin with ‘finger food’, drinks, introduction and getting to know each other followed by Catherine Deveny and Sue-Anne Post to kick the Global Atheist Convention off to a good start.

Many people share your excitement about The Rise of Atheism Convention and just can’t wait for it to happen. I am amongst them and I look forward to meeting the many hundreds of people I know only by email or phone.

In other words, woot, this is going to be a hoot! :- )))

You really don't feel comfortable discussing these issues rationally, do you Mr Nicholls.

>>Then we have a minority of Pericle type posters, who refuse to answer even the simplest of questions, cannot recognise the supreme positives in the above and just love hearing them-selves rabbit on incoherently.<<

There is not one single question you have put to me, that I have not answered. Why do you feel it necessary to suggest otherwise?

Sadly, but unsurprisingly, you have not done me the same courtesy.

You have pretended not to understand ("incoherent rabitting"), in order to avoid answering direct and simple questions.

You have tried every form of insult and denigration in response to my posts here. If my doubts as to the justification for your claims of "historical significance" distress you to the extent that you can only respond with scorn, you have not thought through your position very clearly.

If you only want to hear nice things about yourself, I'd suggest talking to a mirror.

OK Pericles,

You wish to play games. There are many issues Atheists find a common purpose for, which coincidently tie up with surveys of the population. I therefore ask of you what are your views on the following. All you have to do is agree or not agree or state no comment.

This is what Atheism is all about and this is what the Global Atheist Convention is all about.

Humour me by answering either yes, no or no comment.

Voluntary euthanasia should be legal for people in unremitting pain with a terminal illness.
Agree…….Disagree……..No Comment…….

Lesbian, Gay and transgender people should have the same rights as heterosexual people.
Agree…….Disagree…….. No Comment…….

Women should have equal rights to men throughout the world.
Agree…….Disagree……. No Comment…….

Children should not be indoctrinated into a particular religion to the exclusion of other religions and ideas about existence.
Agree……Disagree……. No Comment…….

The average taxpayer has little knowledge of the billions of dollars that annually goes untaxed by religion and it would be better if they were fully aware of the extent.
Agree……Disagree……. No Comment…….

Children and adults would fare better with the latest in scientific understanding and not the musings of those with closed minds.
Agree…….Disagree…… No Comment…….

Science should not be hindered by religion with such things as stem cell research.
Agree…….Disagree……. No Comment…….

Women should have the choice of an abortion as their decision and not one imposed by the state.
Agree…….Disagree…….. No Comment…….

Children should not be taught that ‘creationism’ is a valid alternative to the theory of evolution.
Agree…….Disagree……. No Comment…….

Nations controlled by religious ideals should not have nuclear weapons.
Agree…….Disagree…… No Comment…….

Atheists have the same rights as other to associate by way of a Convention or any other way as does everyone else.
Agree…….Disagree…… No Comment…….

Now, all you have to do is copy and past it in word and answer the questions. Of course you wont as they are too simplistic for a mind such as yours. Apatheism can cause this response.

Maybe others would like to attempt it, first denoting her/his life’s stance.
