Those Facebooks Christians just love us so!
Here's a group (albiet they're so very boring) on Facebook dedicated to the saving of our souls:
"Prayer Warriors for the Rational Responses"

Isn't that sweet of them? Don't you just love Jesus????????

I think it's working, Kelly stubbed her toe and shouted, "Jesus motherfucker!"
Even though it was a curse, she still mentioned Jesus' name which, therefore, makes her a Christian. It all makes PERFECT sense...
My work is done here. Time to go knock on some doors.
Holy crap! They have 132 members. People really want to save our souls.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Well, these "prayer warriors" only have one message up so they aren't very active. Perhaps they've spending all their time praying for us, or else it seemed like a good idea for a moment and then they got wise and got on with whatever it was they were doing.
Here's a question I would probably throw at them: "how does any amount of their praying change the relationship that infidels have with god?" This is a subtle way of saying "what a bunch of time-wasting wankers".

I wonder how many are Atheists who signed up to laugh at their latest antics?
After a little more clicking while my child slept, I found another group with 163 members dedicated to prayer for those involved in the blasphemy challenge. Then there is the badly named "Tha Rational God Squad." (All misspellings kept intact.)
I guess there are a lot of people who really like us, so much to the extent of making multiples groups as a show of love and devotion to us!
Unfotunatly, we're not smart enough to be able to effectively argue our position, so to assist with that there's the handy-dandy "Help Guide For Atheists" (http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=5225839135&topic=4445).
It's a good thing they're there to help us out...
This reminds me of a group on facebook my mother-in-law is invovled with called "One Body of Christ Expirament (all christians on facebook)." Apparently through all christians joining this group the internet is going to amazingly reconstruct the very real body of a man that never existed so we can all bask in his fabled glory. Also, there is a debate on one of their discussions over whether or not Obama is the anti-christ. The sad thing is, this thread has like 420 postings or something like that.
Maybe when we virutally put together Jesus' body we can ask him.

It doesn't change one thing. Prayers for the "lost" are only intended to make the pray-er look good in their god's eyes and nothing more. If god is all-knowing then it has knowledge of rather or not you will obtain salvation or not. If you aren't on the list then prayer will not change god's mind to give you some kind of sign. If you are on the list, as changing your mind about religion at some point then god would already have been working on you. As usual prayer is nothing more than an act of doing nothing and thinking you are. So yes....... WANKERS.

Aw, poor guy. He thinks Christianity gave us genetics.
edit: I just started a facebook account. I wonder if I should spark a debate.

I laugh every time I hear the term "prayer warriors". There's nothing better than taking a completely boring, mundane, and---let's be honest---meaningless activity and upgrading it to EXTREEEEME status.
I am personally not a prayer warrior. However, I happen to be
a) a pooping champion
b) a naptime barbarian
c) a battle-hardened eater of potato chips
d) a procrastination death-knight
e) a stay-home-and-masturbate-to-asian-porn samurai ninja robot from space
It should by obvious, given my various action-packed soubriquets, that I dedicate every minute of every day to kicking ass.

about answering to this guide here and of course show the fallicy of it all.
I think you should, and then post it to Facebook in reponse to that post. I'd REALLY like to see them defend their position when you have people like us versus people like them.
Those are the type that let their children watch veggie tales! When our children are able to understand more detailed scientific teachings at young ages, their children will walk around saying, "God talks to a pickle!!!"
I was actually curious as to how many were spam/malware bots.
Organised religion is the ultimate form of blasphemy.

Haha, I can't believe I've known about Veggie Tales all this time and I've never framed it that way! What's my problem? It's so obvious and hilarious!
By the way, kids. God is not bigger than the boogie man. The boogie man will fucking EAT YOUR FACE. So, you know, be good.

Glad somebody is out there praying for my non-existent heathen soul... cuz I'm sure as hell not.

I save my own soul, where it earns 6% interest annually, compounded. Beat that, facebook Christians!
"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
HA! i embezzled your soul and am now typing this from my brand new beachfront mansion in french polynesia.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

well, to be honest, the mansion itself was made in guatemala. it's mostly construction paper and balsa wood. and it smells like cat pee. so...yeeeaaahhh...

peppermint, when i picture you in that photo, with your head cocked at that adorable angle, saying this incredibly contemptuous phrase in sort of a marcia brady voice, i end up in tears on the floor.

That's funny because I like saying contemptuous shit in a cute voice. And because I own Marcia Brady.
