Methinks he would achieve more by keeping his organisation below the radar. The fraudsters and charlatans who call themselves religious leaders are doing more to recruit followers for him than he can ever hope to achieve.
Disclaimer : I believe in God but religion is one big fraud.
Harrison is very very angry at our AG.
His registered 'society' has been deregistered by the AG.
Larry took him to task before a religious panel but argh,his calm demeanour spoilt the show.Next time pls scratch the panel.Make them disappear.Do something aethist do.
From2011 -Religions are like buses carrying believers of all sorts.Flash back to our roads and get the picture.
God is supernatural and sits at the end of the highway.All buses believe they are headed there.6
Atheists are like traffic cops.Theirs is to harrass innocent travellers.
@Kysse,
Atheists, are travelers too. Only they are saying theists have taken the wrong bus. Both theists and atheists are aiming at the same destination.
The bus is religion. Atheists too are using religion. Religion being a cultural system relating humans to an order of existence.
It's important that we understand 'what atheists do', nay even respect and accept it. Atheists are challenging some religions that are theistic because the expressions relating humans to the order of existence are seemingly, out of place, courtesy of scientific advancement that has left religious advancement behind.
Many theists seem to be blase about the deregistration, most, happy. But it's akin to the story of the boiling frog that had no clue to what was happening. May be this is because the challenge posed by the atheists is terrifying. All of us need to facilitate an urgent development of religion, yet religion is the most conservative of human institutions, and critical thought the hardest of disciplines. I wouldn't be surprised for example, that few would see the importance of them reviewing their religious experience. Many, myself included, delude themselves that they are not religious.
Instead their minds play the same old tricks known by psychologists; denial, projection, repression ... It's then that atheists play the role of waking theists from their deep slumber.
