Oh, but AA isn’t religious, it’s “spiritual”! And it’s totally NOT a cult!

Yeah, so I was told… over and over and over and over again by the holy roller spiritual but not religious AAbots for 23 years before I escaped the totally not a cult.

Can you imagine an antitheist page giving love to a religious 12 step organization?? Yeah, neither could I but, there you have it.

Sorry, Stephanie, if people have a different sense of humor than you do. Please never go to an open-mic comedy show…or any comedy show for that matter.

Translation: btiches ain’t shit, stephanie, but I can’t quit you. PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEEE!!!!!!

Each of the four travellers believed they lacked something and required external sourcing, but discovered that virtues come from within. The mysterious wizard turns out to be an ordinary person hiding behind a curtain. Don’t go looking for paradise as a solution to your problems; paradise lies in your actual circumstances in the real world.

Because comedy is immune to criticism. It’s all subjective, isn’t it? So it can never be wrong!

At all.

‘Cuz I don’t find it one bit funny. That he does (or might) tells me a lot more about him than it does about anything else.

Justin, my comedy tastes extend to things like Vilification Tennis. I just don’t promote them as being of general interest to atheists unless they’re talking about religion. Can you explain what The Wizard of Oz has to do with atheism? Or shoes?
