maxxi Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 On visiting the co-op this munch-time I was exhorted by a colourful group of three young men to "reject the words of Jesus Christ" and "embrace Islam". I refused to be distracted and - pausing only to glance at the immobile figure in the Salvation Army uniform stood by the exit in what appeared to be baffled but stoic silence - went in search of eatables.I assumed (wrongly) the SA chap would be confused by the - as he might see it - encroachment on to his 'preaching' turf and expected him to stay stood still (as it were), but on leaving I noticed him engaged in hearty debate with two of the young men. Thus were both parties happily negating each others attempts to preach to and otherwise 'God-bother' the good folk of ED. A happy result that should be the subject of a parable when the atheists get around to writing a bible...

woodrot Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Its a real problem for me having to find a made up deity that I can follow. So many choices, so little time.

PeckhamRose Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 The god of Dawkins! I personally pray to my cat. She sits there with her fat belly in a buddha like pose and when I get angry or irritated I stroke her like some people stroke their catholic beads (I never understood that but when I looked it up the list got all anal on me) and her purring calms me down.
