So, if the video is real, what kind of spoof is this? The story itself was obviously a spoof and no one here thought otherwise. I thought we were all just taking the piss out of the video, the guy who wrote it and xtianity in general.

I fail to see how we were spoofed. Surely you don’t imagine that anyone actually thought that Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens etc were actually, genuinely planning on converting?

I first came across this item while on my dinner break at work. Unfortunately we can’t watch videos on the work computers as the connection is too slow and there is no sound, so I’m reading all the comments and wondering what it was all about. Now that I have actually watched it, hell I just can’t believe the utter stupidity of it, it is just, just, so utterly utterly crass. What a pillock what an industrial grade moron, and he has actually paraded his stupidity in front of the entire fooking planet.

An curious metaphor made more compelling by the fact that passing electricity through a human being is still practiced in many US States. Nine of them (all governed by fundamentalist Christians) have ‘energised’ 155 non-believers since 1976.
It certainly does make you glow inside.

Is the video a spoof or just the story?

Now that it has gone noon everywhere, I should give credit where it’s due and reveal that the above spoof was written not by me but by Barry, who posted it in my name.

So, believing in god will get you into a pickle? I wonder what would happen if he stuck the pickle up his . . . oh, never mind.

elaine.

Evem lmpwomg. Wow…that was some typo! It certainly gets my vote.

What a profound thought, the day religion ceased. Such a beautiful concept. Do you imagine a kind of armistice, we shall all stop believing this nonsense at 11 o’clock on VR Day (Victory of Reality)?

I prefer to think of the demise of religion as occurring in the same manner as those dying languages that we seldom hear about. Maybe there will come a time when only a few die-hard deluded duffers, sat in their old folks home, strain to remember the shite that they once believed in.

I can envisage old Bob and Anjem, trying to recollect just what bollocks they were so passionate about, and coming to the conclusion that they may have shat their lives away on a whim.

After all, every single one of the several thousand other gods that mankind has invented, and accommodated, has met a similar demise.

Oh the anticipation!

Oh the joy!

slightly revised….

This is the truth but I have had in my head for quite a time to write a story about the day religion ceased, and what a wonderful time this would be, at last we may have peace on earth. Perhaps this would be a good idea for a contest on these lines.
Although I know this is not true reading it gave me a sick feeling in my stomach.
