Atheist Foundation of Australia Inc:
<ideological conspiracies and dangers, abortion, and an assortment of non-compos mentis posts and such like, and it is difficult to tell the difference in some instances, have dominated this page>

So constructive criticism is deemed to be not of sound mind? You're either with us, or you're against us eh? In which case you must be crazy?
However I for one have alluded to no conspiracy theories, only to Ditchkins and their disciple's ideological blindness and institutionalism--sorry if it's interrupted the publicity drive and fanfare.

<This is going to be the largest gathering of Freethinkers (sic) the world has ever witnessed>

I dare say a few will turn up--they're rare beasts--but they'll be lost in the crowd.

Interesting use of the word "constructive".

Squeers,

Raining on harmless or even beneficial parades is generally the work of misanthropic individuals. If waffle and not clear reasoning supports such raining then conspiratorial tendency might be present.

Either spell-out clearly the actual dangers of this convention or our communication is over as it is with others who demonstrate an irrational streak on this and other forums.

It is also finished if you say you have already.

I have yet to hear of one single bit of constructive criticism about the convention.

All it's been is folk saying 'something can't come from nothing .. therefore you should believe in a magic man in the sky'

Good luck with getting any real response AFA. The best you will get is some sort of response over how atheists gathering is like religion. (which makes anyone gathering over anything 'like religion')

OUG: Are you Presbyterian? They can never see the funny side of things. ‘The Book of Cyril’ straight out of Monty Pythons ’Life of Brian’. You said “It sounds nonsensical and clearly is some obscure link for kiddies.” I know of a book which is nonsensical and must have been written for kiddies. It’s got stories like Noah and his Ark, Jonah in the Big Fish, Adam and Eve, The Tower of Babel and lots more.
As for your question about naming names. Let me put it this way. I don’t know all the ins and outs of a Jumbo Jet but that’s not to say I don’t know it can fly. As I don’t know all that is to be known about the universe, evolution and such like not to say it was all done by god(s).
A few simple questions for you:
Where are heaven, hell, purgatory and limbo?
When did god create the devil?
Did Christ have a wife, brothers, sisters, and children?
Do you believe every word Mr. Ratzinger has to say on ‘religious’ matters

we welcome all to this FORUM
ie todiss or cuss..if you got no facts
and to reveal facts if you got them..then prepare to hear opposing positions.

we had paul here 2 years ago
where i asked him if there would be some transcripts
of who says what...[authoritive holy texts for athiests if you will]

'religeonists'..have put their creed into words
and while i disagree with how they run things..carefull study of just one text..allows those who want to find the good[of god]..hidden in the words..[to wit seek and find]

so i will once again ask for transcripts
[why?]..because so much gets lost
in the selectivism..of athiestic collectivism's
[buy my latest book...lol]

on big idea [abc]..today i caught a debate on god
i noted the athiest[peter]..does much hand waving..and talks extensivly on religeon...there was an opposing side presented by someirish dude[john]

i lost my notes of the debate..
but peter..has it down to 3 points[i think]

that religeon depends on location
[though what that has to do with god..who knows?]
[as the bible reveals its god who is omnipresent[thus inside athiest etc as much as inside every living thing]

his other point was if god is so good
who does he allow bad things...[god dont..as the bible says
that we do to the least..we do TO GOD..sustaining them..their life as well]

i note catus point here..[re the egg/chicken thing'
the egg came first..chickencs come from eggs]
i like his big bang theory too

[god survives pre and post each big bang..
by virtue of not being material...and eternal

though of course with no matter
at the point of inversion..[by change of state]..
to carry the bang[noise]....

bang is materialistic terminology]
but what else to expect..from you lot of materialists
