The religion of Raaa!

[Squawk]

Rational, agnostic, atheist anti-theist

RAAA, pronounced Raaa! (exclamation mark not optional). Amused me anyway.

Blasphemer! It's actually Raaat!
And anyway, isn't "atheist anti-theist" kind of like saying a "religious christian"? Doesn't the one require the other? (You have to be an Atheist in order to be an Anti-Theist.)
I mean strictly speaking, you wouldn't need to be an Atheist in order to be an Anti-Theist, but it'd be pretty silly to have an Anti-Theist Deist/Theist/Agnostic. (Technically the first two work, but I wouldn't see a reason for it...)
Anti-Theist Deist: "I believe in God but I oppose it!"
Anti-Theist Theist: (The irony of the name alone...) "I believe that God exists, that it interferes in every day life, but I oppose it!"
Anti-Theist Agnostic: "I believe that we can never know if God exists, but if it exists, I oppose it!"

And my heresy:
The 'Associated Materialist UNion of Rational, Agnostic, Atheist Anti-theists'

AMUN-RAAA!

Blasphemer!

There is no god and her name is Athe.

When I first saw the title I thought that AronRa was being elevated to deityhood.

Do you mean to say it should read "...anti-theist atheist"? That way, the "anti-theist" is descriptive of what kind of atheist you are.

But more importantly, why does Squawk say "...agnostic, athiest..."?
"I dont know if there is a god, but I dont believe in one even if there is."

...I guess, but the pronounciation description did make me giggle.

What I said above...
I just realized though (blame it on lack of sleep yesterday) that it means Rationalists and agnostics and atheists and anti-theists. Jeez I feel stupid right now.

Heh

Well, clearly this was intended to be a giggle, but the pendant in me is here and kicking.

Atheist does not imply anti-theist. I would argue that one has to be atheist in order to be anti-theist, but I'd suggest that anti-theists are a subset of atheists. You can argue about what order they come in all day long.

Agnostic and atheist are not mutually exclusive positions, by strict definition I am both, though I resent the term agnostic.

Unfortunately, it comes off as a misspelling as Ra with extraneous punctuation. (But I really like the punctuation bits!) But that's par for the course these days really.

I'd rather worship religion "?".

Hell no, i'm not being a rat. Unless I can be a cute one and fluffy one.

 

[FaithlessThinker]

That would be a hamster.

 

[nasher168]

That would be a hamster.

Nah, a gerbil AKA squirrel with a shaved tail:

Here's a Rat for ya. No wait, that's two... Which one you wanna be?

This is quickly developing into the "What sort of rodent would you like to be?" topic.

Hamsters do seem like the logical choice for the great wheel of reason.

I think it's too little for chinchillas. And gerbils would expose themselves to unsafe work environments and potential injury by virtue of their tails.
