[B]That's not so long ago, is it?

Leave no stone unturned.

I'm just trying to prove my case.

Play fair. :smile:

Nice one. Although in the story Satan was the lawyer. Either way it goes he gets paid.

I think more to the point is that everyone sees what they want to see in deity.

Nothing really to add, just wanted to be post #666 in this thread.

Is it a cause worth fighting for? Worth dying for? Or just a way to avoid having to sit next to your rellys on the pews?

I.m.o. atheism is not a cause worth fighting for: it is not a cause at all, as the cartoonist rightly makes clear. But [I]secularism[/I] is a cause, and it's well worth [I]campaigning[/I] for (no bloodshed though, please!).

LOL @retina's cartoon - but there IS ONLY ONE OMIAL, Mr.-Illinois-Nazi-in-the-last-panel.

[That we-be-ILlin' bit is a [i]Blues Brothers[/i] reference, for all you youngsters.]

Rumor has it that Mao was a closet Confusionist.

Just so you know ewmayer et al, the AI algorithms suggest you're trending to crossing the Signal / Noise ratio cut-off point.

I don't the the cartoonist makes it clear at all:

(S)he says "Just because Hitler and Stalin were both atheists doesn't mean atheism [B]caused[/B] them to do terrible things."

The sense in which you are using "cause" is as in "Oxford is the home of lost causes".
The cartoonist is using it is as in "An effect is caused by a cause".
