I think they are far and beyond a tithing with the protestants.

Papal Bull(oney) topic

Great thread Fuzzy. Very punny! here is my contribution:

"A biblical text out of context is a pretext." Unfortunately, this is the way of religion.

The way atheists lick the a-hole of Richard Dawkins, he does seem to have a prophet like status.

I don't doubt that Dawkins disturbs you by pointing out truth where you prefer ignorance but where's your pun? This thread requires a pun.

In the dog(ma) house topic

"Crucify Him" Always a martyr for the cause. Terrorists still use this.

"Dinosaurs and humans must have existed at the same time, because the world is only six thousand years old (give or take a few weeks)." Methusala must be older than the world iself. :roll: Maybe he killed all the dinosaurs.

And always a cause for a martyr.

well done sartresue.

Gays are desirous of marriage banns.

My dear Magnus, a drive by shooting of adherents of secular philosophy is well within the mandate of this thread, but the deadly vehicle should be in the form of a pun.

If you examine my opening pun again, you will see the idea behind it. To say that atheism has no prophets is to suggest that as a clade, they achieve little(non profitable). On the other hand, by nature of a pun, it also says they are a secular(no prophets) group.

"Gays are desirous of marriage banns" suggests that gays would harm the concept of marriage. On the other hand, a literal reading of that sentence says that they would like their marriages announced, made official.

"Marriage banns, also called the banns of marriage, serve as a formal announcement of intent to marry."

It is a backhanded complement, a Janus faced insult.

I first read non-profit, and it seems to be actually the case, regarding humanist associations, right?

He points out the obvious. It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to get what he says and what he says doesn't disturb me. However, there is more to the Universe than what Richard Dawkins claims to know. He is a bore.

Atheists bore into the truth of the matter.

C'mon, now. I know you want to get off your rocks on Dawkins but still you have submitted no pun. I' glad what you perceive about Dawkins is obvious which means you accept it. But this is not a thread about literary quality or even directed against or for faith. You have yet to submit a pun!

Since when was atheism an institution? Isn't it just the (un)organized denial of God?
