I'm encouraged that most people don't believe they fit into just one category.

There are two types of people in the world, those who assume that people can be divided up into types and those who laugh at them when they try.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

So tonight at Dad's place the wife's family was by for dinner and there was 'grace' for dinner. Guess who passed on the hand holding and thanking the ALLMIGHTY for Kroger and Monsanto? 
Would you be shocked to learn it was yours truly?  :lol:

I fucking hate categories. Categories divide. This is the kind of shit that turns people against each other for no real reason at all.

All of a sudden you'll have people that think that one way of being an atheist is the "right way to be an atheist" fuck that shit. It's a spectrum of applying your non-belief a how it plays a part in your life. If someone wants to tell you how to not believe, they might as well start a religion.

I agree. Categories suck. I think we should start with the periodic table of elements. Who needs em'? Blood groupings? Always hated that. And Jeopardy?  Well FUCK Jeopardy.

What.

PickelledEggs

Seriously Stromboli, what does the categories of elements and in Jeopardy have to do with anything? Or were you just kidding and being random? I sometimes can't tell with you

stromboli

Lol. You don't want to be categorized. Nobody does. but categorization/collation is how we make sense of information. Like the periodic table, the categories in Jeopardy. That is why we have statistics and all that other shit. Arranging atheists by type doesn't define you, but it defines a larger body or group in a way that provides understanding.

Never mind. I'm wasting my time here. I've got better things to do.

There are two kinds of people:  people who don't like being categorized and people who are fine with it.

Lol you have to be more clear in the first place. I never can tell if you're being serious, doing a corny joke, or being sarcastic. In this case you had a good point and it was lost from me not knowing what you were even saying.

There are 10 types of people in the world. People that know binary and people that don't.

We plan to spread our classification system to the rest of the world by winning hearts and minds.  Our Armed Forces are standing by.  Resistance is futile.
