Ok so there’s this Facebook campaign that is calling all the atheists everywhere to come together on the 8th of November to have a minute of prayer to deny God.
Ahh people, who needs to watch T.V. when I get all the entertainement I want in real life?
The description says:
As you may already be aware, recently the Atheist Founation of Australia and the Global Atheist Convention websites were the target of a significant DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, which began on Monday 19 October.
This is a call to all non-believers and advocates for freedom of speech to join us in a global co-ordinated minute of prayer with the aim of inundating God (in this context, the Christian god, God, as distinct from the Greek god, Zeus, the Egyptian god, Ra etc etc) with so many useless prayers that it causes his divineness to go offline as as result of our own DDOS (‘Divine’ Denial of Service).
The prayer minute will be at exactly 8pm (Eastern Standard Time) and 9am (Greenwich Mean Time) on Sunday 8 November 2009.
The prayer can be about anything you want (but say it as frequently as possible in the minute we have assigned to ensure DDOS is achieved) or to whomever god you want. Its mostly directed at the Christian god so as to ensure we don’t get too many return to senders from other gods.

i love the last line!!!
“turned their prayers of denial into prayers of acceptance, imagine what God would do with that instead.”
if they’re atheist… why are they praying then? it must show they do know God exists?!

Brian told me the maddest thing (and i say mad cause you never really expect it from him LOL), “No one can deny God’s existence because he’s already written it in our hearts.”
hahah maybe im just easily impressed.XD

Ok wait. The very first sentence made me go “Huh?” Atheists are gonna pray to deny God? Who’re they praying to?
Another thing: why are there atheist institutions? I thought atheism was something you declared as an individual, not corporately. If it’s corporate, doesn’t it become some sort of religion?
The first few sentences from the description of the Facebook page were so absurd, I didn’t even bother to read the rest.
So let me get this straight:
[atheism (noun) the theory or belief that God does not exist]
A bunch of people who don’t believe in THE divine King of kings, Lord of lords, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Saviour of the world, etc., are going to gather to pray “so many useless prayers” to no one in particular (?) in order to cause God’s divineness to “go offline”. My understanding is that atheists do not believe there is a higher/divine power; or that atheists believe there is no higher/divine power. But if they are gathering to pray TO GOD to make His divinity go offline, then they are acknowledging that God is real/divine, that there is a higher power that they are going to pray useless prayers to, in order to cancel out his divinity.
Am I making sense? Am I getting this correct? ‘Cause I’m still confused.
They’re going to pray to a divine God to cancel out his divinity, even though atheism is about denying that there is a divine power…
Uhm.
Ok, so following God is hard, but at least it makes more sense than being an atheist.
