All dressed up and nowhere to go? Neat, atheists don't go to hell.

I'll have to follow this convention online since there's no way I could attend in person.

I have seen the tombstone that says
"Here lies an atheist, all dressed up but nowhere to go"

In the Wolfenstein RPG video game on the iphone...

History-making and a lot of fun! If you think those who argue for the prevalence of rational thought in our society and government, instead of seeking guidance from the interpretatations of old texts, say things that are "worthless" then you have a warped view of what's actually important.

Great letter Chrys - look forward to seeing you there.

Geoff Lacey's comment is right up there with "there are no atheists in bunkers" or similar. Except there are. Religious smugness is irksome. We need more than one convention!

Geoff Lacey (such a witty guy) says...
"...seeing that their verbal offerings are usually worthless anyway."

Hmmm... maybe we should sacrifice a goat or a virgin?

I would bet good money that Geoff Lacey of Tawonga has never actually seen a tombstone with that inscription on it.
