The required consensus is no gods, considering that it's also the entry requirement I'm fairly certain that we will all agree.

Aren't TIG and Decky Catholics? God or no god, if they like the institution of the Church how is that secular?

[mikema63]

I always took decky's as a joke more than anything else.

I don't remember TiG being anything like that, except that he works at a church for history purposes.

I didn't think that "secular" and "atheist" were synonyms. It seems moderate/non-devout "believers" are also routinely referred to as "secular". DU and fuser noted this too earlier.
All atheists are secular but not all secularists are atheist.

How's your face secular heathen?

What?
We're not "the SS" anymore!?
Awwwwwww......

[Dystopian Darkness]

A better question is if anyone wants to form a creed of heresy - All hail Lord Satan

[fuser]

Concept of Satan is more ridiculous than God.

^ I have said this twice now in this very thread

[Red_Army]

I like to yell, "hail Satan" at the people who protest abortionariums. I like it, and I think it makes them feel good.

[fuser]

It needs to be said though, I will have no problem if we get to worship "The Blood God".

[Red_Army]

I still think we should worship Gozer...

[Demosthenes]

There is no other God...















...Like Khorn!













...Except maybe Crom!

Will you be secretly convening with Koch Industries and forcing "Right to not believe," legislation down your follower's throat?

Wait, so every hermetic philosophy believes in a creator, and you came from the sex of your parents... And now you think a 200 year old crown born theorist named Charles Darwin made the most appropriate illustration of what life is? Humans... Wanting that absolute love from whatever source they find true. Even if we can follow the seed's journey, what planted the seed?

"What planted the seed..."

"Yeah, you know, the chicken & the egg scenario."

"Oh, yeah... Ah, I think nothing made nothing."

"Wait... What? That doesn't make any sense empirically or scientifically."

"Big bang of nothing made something?"

"Are you alright?"

...

"This conundrum makes me want to build hydrogen bombs and smash accelerated particles to prove you wrong!"

"But that would be a human creating something."

"No. It would be humans manipulating what 's already here, the stuff that came from nothing."




I think denying a creator is scientifically counter-intuitive given the circumstance of your existence. Politically it allows the state to govern your thoughts, instead of the church. Mikema, you're such a tool.

1. I work at a church doing history stuff there. They're protestants.

2. I identify as a secular Catholic. It's a cultural designation instead of a religious designation. Not unlike Jews identify as being Jewish if they're not religious.

3. I'm an atheist.

[Decky]

Exactly, you can not believe in god but still knows who's side you would be on if the 30 years war broke out again in all its genocidal glory.

[Goldberk]

Against the papist idolatry

[Decky]

His holiness in the General Secretary of the workers soul.

How did it feel when the Pope helped bring down the Soviet Union?

[Red_Army]

Do you really think the pope helped a lot?
