Atheists meet in Melbourne to celebrate lack of faith

More than 2,000 atheists from around the world are gathering in Melbourne, Australia, to celebrate their lack of religious belief.

 

It is thought to be the world's largest gathering of atheist thinkers.

 

They plan to issue a statement on what they say are the negative effects of religion on society.

 

All 2,500 tickets were sold out earlier this year, but a religious gathering at the same venue in December attracted three times as many delegates.

 

The Global Atheist Convention is bringing together scientists, philosophers, writers and comedians, says the BBC's religious affairs correspondent Christopher Landau.

 

They will be joined by bestselling author Richard Dawkins and discuss Islam and terrorism in a session titled The Cost of Delusion.

 

They will also hear a film proposal, exposing the amount taxpayers spend subsidising religion.

 

There is a determination to avoid what one session calls Atheistic Fundamentalism, says our correspondent.

 

Participants will be urged to avoid "missionary zeal" in their determination to promote their non-religious message to the world.

Who is representing SOL in there?

[Che -Guevara]

^The Grand Wizard but would have been nice if he invited to the forum.

[Raamsade]

You guys are missing the point. They're congregating in Melbourne to witness the Miracle of the Atheist Watermelon.

[Cara.]

^LOL. Is the witch-burning next week then? I already bought the marshmallows.

 

Che, LOL @ fundamentalists. I guess it's all relative, but keep us updated on any cars set on fire or people beaten to death by Dawkins' tiresome rhetoric.

I was convinced Raamsade is the man who represented SOL.

^That makes sense.Raamsade is the Mullah Omar of the atheist movement-with Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species in one hand and megaphone in the other, he would have converted (reasoned to death) Melbourne in days' time. Of course, insanity would follow. Women can't wear skirts below the knees and cleavage is must, men can't grow beards. churches/mosques will be converted to nightclubs and strip clubs, and evolution (the New Testament) will be taught in every class

 

Cara..It all starts with rhetoric.Dawkins just lacks the muscle

[Resistance]

This sort of defeats their purpose right, since they are against orginised religions, by gathering they themselves become orgnised group who share a common belief.

 

Ultrea atheists need to come and demostrate against these organised lot.

^^ Athiests are imitating those whose beliefs they inherently disagree with more and more each day.I was watching this current affairs segment one time where these group of athiests were vouching for a weekly gathering for there lot kind of like church gatherings (what the intend on doing there God knows lol) dadkan weey isku dheh yaacsan yahiin mar belief ma haysano marna dadka diinleh baan mataleynaa- ilahayow hana waalin :confused:

It was fun to the point where Insanity followed.

One old and tired but hidden Theistic argument toke over, namely, churches/mosques will be converted to nightclubs and strip clubs, and evolution (the New Testament) will be taught in every class "

 

This surfacing argument is rooted in the psycology of indoctrinated minds, where clubbing ( happy & loose ) is painted Atheistic wheras Church/Mosque ( sad & restraint ) is painted Theistic.

 

Maybe a better universal Religion with a better Morality is in the making .

 

[N.O.R.F]

They met over Friday, Saturday and Sunday

[Resistance]

Could they not settle for their own day. If i was chose Monday as the day for Atheists all over the world, memebership would soar since workers can claim religion reasons not work on Mondays.

[FatB]

i hear athiest woman are loose chase women... who in the mood of a baffae?

Waar they don't make Somali infidels as they used to. The old ones used to copy and act like the blue blood of the West. The cheap new ones in SOL are imitating fringe parties like the BNP. Waa yusliss even in this world.
