Anyone *cooking someone's satirical creator?
[last channel was evil, I know... enjoy]
Um, I don't think the reporter gets it. "many members profess ..."
No mention of hookers in the news story..
FSM "Church" is just goofballs goofing around.
Name one good work that was done in the name of faith which could not also have been done by an atheist.
Name one atheist who organized and actually accomplished that good work.
I'll name three:
Salvation Army
The Red Cross
Alcoholics Anonymous
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.
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.
