How Typical (I)
16 November 2006 by BobBeen going through The Cambridge Companion to Atheism, and found some cool “number-crunching” entries.
The first is called “Atheists: A Psychological Profile,” and it ends with the following observations:
Commentary, news, and rants on the evils and stupidity of belief in the big invisible daddy in the sky. Illuminating and watchdogging the widespread attempts to institutionalize the theocratic rule of the US. Making fun of believers everywhere.

Law-abiding, eh? That must be why we’re making up 0.2% of the prison population.

Describes me to a ‘T’.
Not that my next door neighbour - a Seventh Day Adventist - called me a ‘good neighbour’. When he moved in and found out that my wife and I were atheists, he got his pastor to come round, together with his whole congregation, and they had an open-air service in his garden (but directed towards us in ours) praying and hollering loudly to (their) god that he would remove this godless influence ‘from the face of the earth’ as it troubled their brother in christ and disturbed his devotions! Needless to say his god ignored his entreaties and the exorcism failed to work because we still live here but he has left - I think it was the late night bacchanals, the baby sacrifices, and the constant wailing of the anti-christ that got to him!

Years ago my mother (nominal xian) told me I was a better xian than most xians. How hard can that be?
My brother-in-law (Baptist preacher) has all but nominated me for sainthood. I can tell you that halos aren’t all that comfortable.
I am a life-long atheist.

Oh, jeezus…
That would have freaked me out…

Hey, that excerpt describes me, too! Except I’m not a man or married…

I’m glad to know I’m better than the average dumbed down American!!!
Don’t think I’ve commented here much over the past few years, but I have you re-added to my blogroll. I enjoy your site very much by the way, keep up the great posts. I might steal the image and use it on my page if that is ok….
