It's so great that we have all the smartest and funniest people on "our side."

Pity the poor faitheists.

Reminds me of a joke. Two priests were playing golf and father john shanked if into the rough off the first tee and said, "Damn it". Father Mark chided him about using the Lords name in vain. Later in the match father John hit the ball into a sand trap and exclaimed once again, "Damn it." This really upset father Mark and again he told father John he shouldn't be swearing. Well on the last hole father John missed a two foot put to lose the match and once again he blurted out a loud, "Damn it." All of a sudden a bolt of lightening shot out and struck father Mark not John and after a short silence, from the heavens there bellowed a loud, "Damn it."

“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.”

here's a list of "Stephen Roberts" from Wiki: (I wonder if he's the Anglican priest)
