Honest question. Is this site a religious site?

It seems to me there's a large amount of Christian posts. I've also noticed a fair amount of disapproval for other religions.

I am an atheist. I don't really want to be part of a christian site posing as a parenting site.

So is this actually a Christian place?

Threadworm - I read that first sentence many times and can't understand what you are talking about. Sorry.

ruty · 27/01/2009 21:26

you're such a bloody tease onebat.

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:26

Habb can we have your disproof of the devil? It would be very reassuring.

(And then could you do another GP poem: I wanted one in the voice of Handsome Chris, Beetle's live-in friend, who is naturally distressed. )

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:27

Cote, I mean: what would count as evidence that God exists?

scienceteacher · 27/01/2009 21:27

Is the OP serious?

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:28

Thank you onebat. Fucking off as I speak. And as for you, fuck the fuck off yourself you fucker.

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:29

Ah, well, you see, it only works if you accept Augustine's ontological proof of God, and the idea that existence is a predicate.

I'm a pointlessly educated ex-catholic atheist. Choose me a biscuit, would you?

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:30

Why all the fucking off? Have you two a tryst??

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:30

You need Iorek for that. She's the biscuit gal.

IorekByrnison · 27/01/2009 21:31

Habb, you can have a Tunnock's teacake.

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:35

Blergh. Marshmallow? Are you high? That's a personality cult biscuit - you're sucked in by the attractive exterior, inside it's vile and not at all what it looked like, but your teeth are stuck in and you can't escape.

AMumInScotland · 27/01/2009 21:39

How about a pointless biscuit then? I had a very strange chewy cereal bar thing today which looked like it was going to be a biscuit but then wasn't. A Kellogs Elevenses I think it was called.

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:40

It would be an anti-tryst if we were just telling eachother to fuck off.

I asked onebat to tell me to fuck off if sjhe saw me on mn because I am wasting too much time here.

I'm ashamed of being here now. Excuse is that I wanted to look at today's bookclub discussion as am currently reading the book. But I really will fuck back off after today and not come back for a week or two. Please could you all tell me to fuck off if you see me?

onebatmother · 27/01/2009 21:43

Oh balls, I take it back Threadie. This is worthwhile, surely?

I think that agnosticism is like a shit low-fat 'be good to yourself' biscuit.

Humanism is when they try and convince you that an oatcake might be biscuit-like.

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:44

It's not worthwhile. I'm talking crap and wasting time. It is really pathetic. I'm quite ashamed.

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:46

You're making me happy, Threadie. If that's pointless, well...

onebatmother · 27/01/2009 21:46

Oh shit now everyone's going to hate me.

It's surely better than those 'just found the perfect school-run dress - now find me the peep-toe sandals' threads I keep seeing you on.

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:48

Should I unhide style? Is it where all the fun happens?

IorekByrnison · 27/01/2009 21:49

Hmm, so you don't like the Tunnock's teacake. . Are you sure you're an ex-Catholic atheist?

AMIS that does sound like a biscuit without a point. Not, however, an agnostic biscuit , which is the biscuit with the only truly tenable position, as we all know. Or would know if it was possible to know such a thing, which of course it isn't.

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:49

Have done your poem...

IorekByrnison · 27/01/2009 21:49

if it were

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:51

subjunctive's on the way out Iorek. Just call yourself a trail-blazer.

onebatmother · 27/01/2009 21:52

Well precisely Habbs. Adding to the sum of human happiness and all that.

Habbibu · 27/01/2009 21:53

human happiness? Don't go ascribin' no altruistic motives to me, onebat. I only want her to make me happy. Like a personal jester.

Threadworm · 27/01/2009 21:54

Thank you Habbibu. Excellent poem. I'm sure you aren't wasting time. You bake and stuff.
