Knock-Knock. Who's There?
In the past 2-weeks, I have had them and the Mormons come a-knockin' on my door!
Do you a) tell them your an atheist...
or, do you b) humour them like I do...(which is sooo much fun! especially when I know stuff they don't)
...and then tell them you're an atheist?

My ex-husband was working in the yard one day when he was approached by two people who had just parked their bikes in the corner of our yard (the corner was far enough away that he could tell they planned to leave them there while they walked around the neighborhood).
They asked him, "Jesus is coming, are you ready?"
He replied, "No, but thanks for telling me -- I'll get out the good silverware."
Then he added, "You didn't ask for permission to park in my yard, please move your bikes."
My ex is an hilarious Jewish man!
A friend of his, as a teenager, once answered the door for some JW's. He told them he was busy at the moment, but was anxious to speak with them and asked if they could come back that evening.
That evening, they arrived again, as planned, and he answered the door in a black, silk smoking jacket -- open in the front -- and with a martini in his hand. He invited them in.
They promptly explained that they couldn't stay because they had another appointment. They gave him some literature and left.

Thanx Jude! Those are funny stories! Maybe I'll answer the door with an opened robe and a pipe!

The word 'tracts' made me shudder a little, but it would be cool to see the ones you made. Could you post some?

This thread just gave me a thought. I'm sure everyone at one time or another has seen the little pamphlets that Christians leave in restaurants and places of business. What if we were to take a look at those and make our own version? The front would be similar to the religious booklets with a Title and a picture, Inside would be some text debunking Christian or Muslim beliefs, showing why they are illogical and harmful, and on the back it would have the web address of this site and other Atheist sites where people could get more info. I'm thinking the booklets should be Polite and courteous since we don't want to offend people, but instead make them courteous so people become curious about coming here for more info. However if you did want to make some that are more blunt to pass out at home to the doorknockers that's fine.
Take a sheet of printer paper and cut it in half then fold each piece in half. It gives you a little four page booklet. You can get two booklets per page. We could work together on creating such a booklet and doing it in OpenOffice. OpenOffice is just as powerful as MS Office and can output PDF files and everyone can use it since it is free and you can do professional looking work with it.
When you leave the house take a few with you and leave them behind on the table at a restaurant or amongst the other business cards that many places have near the door. Perhaps tacking a few up on the bulletin boards at stores and other places of Business? I'm sure the people in here are smart enough to unobtrusively leave a few behind.
Some of the subjects we could do are; "If God exists and is omnipotent, then why does evil exist?" "Free will and an omniscient god" "The Real Power of Prayer." (Ineffectual)
I'm know everyone here has their pet peeves about religion and has written a few paragraph's elsewhere on this site and they could just use that for their booklet or ask someone here to help them polish it to make it more appealing. The idea's for subjects are all over the forums. Perhaps some of us could write a few paragraphs about a topic that appeals to us and others could work on a layout so we could just copy and paste the page or print the file on our printers getting two copies per sheet of paper.
Let me know if you think you would be willing to work on such a thing or leave them where people would notice them.

Ask the Witnesses if they think the world would be a better place if everyone but them were destroyed. If they say "no", call them out for lying. That's exactly what their vision of paradise is- an earth "cleansed" of fornicators, homosexuals, smokers, atheists, Baptists, Jews, Catholics, etc., etc. Remind them of the importance of planning for the future, since the Armageddon they're longing for has been "just around the corner" for the last 140 years.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
