I like the blaming of hurricanes and earthquakes on the steady decline of pirates since the 1800's. That just makes way too much sense to me.

I reject the presumption of a decline in Pirates since the 1800's. They're still around, they just don't have parrots and live in Africa and Indonesia!

this gets an upvote for the fact that the news station found two college students to interview who didn't sound like complete twits, showing they at least took the story somewhat seriously.

The Catholic Church also lets its members touch a noodly appendage, see most religions have something in common.

No mention of hookers in the news story..

The difference is, millions of people who follow religious examples with sincere faith do good works in the name of their god(s).

FSM "Church" is just goofballs goofing around.

I just learned that a few months back, the Flying Spaghetti Monster was apparently spotted atop a tall building in Germany.

I was beginning a tirade about AA, but clipped it. Let me just say there are indeed non-religious treatment organizations, and that they provide more effective treatment.

jwray, key phrase "could not have been done", not is not done. And I too could go on a tirade about AA. I'll truncate it and say it's about as effective for nonbeliever as the ads where marijuana makes you run over your little brother is for drug-prevention.

The Red Cross is a secular organization. Its name and symbol are based on the Swiss flag, not the crucifix. From the Red Cross FAQ:
"Why are symbols other than a red cross used by other National Societies within the Movement?
Although the red cross is not a religious symbol, some societies view it as such. The symbol of the red crescent is used instead of the red cross by societies in most Islamic countries; and the Magen David Adom, or Red Shield of David, is used in Israel.

Impartiality: It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Neutrality: In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. "
Nowhere on their website are Jesus, God, Christ, Jehovah, Yaweh, or any other gods mentioned.

AA is a religious organization, but atheists could just as well set up a program to help alcoholics. There's no evidence that faith is necessary for its effectiveness.

The salvation army operates some good thrift stores and helps out the poor, but there's no evidence that faith is necessary for any of that.
