An open letter to Mr Xie
We, of the Australian atheist's union, seek to live in harmony with our theistic neighbours of all faiths. We ask that their self-appointed representative George Xie, a talented chess player, follow a certain code of conduct:
1. Not impose your religion onto parliament with a Lord's prayer.
2. Not impose your religion onto our kids by putting chaplains into GOVERNMENT schools.
3. Actually come up with sort of argument about Jesus and God that MAKES SENSE.
4. Accept that in the absence of [3] that we, as the atheist union, have the right and duty to describe your argument in any one of a number of pejorative terms: stupid, silly, mindless, baseless, pointless, irrevelant, vacuous, inane, brainless or pathetic.
Yours sincerely
Andrew Thornton
honoury secretary of the Atheist's Union.
p.s A 5th clause has just been voted upon and passed by the Intergalactic Atheist Council: we as atheists demand the right to refuse to participate in any wars that are motivated or justified by religion or its dogma. We acknowledge that becuase the vast majority of wars are religious in some form, or given religious support by their leaders, that this makes us atheists into pacificists by default. Peace man . Peace. Goodwill to all mankind,
