Atheist PrON

Participated in a bit of comment back and forth at P.Z.'s Pharyngula yesterday on all the current fundie palaver in MO and SD. So, what should the F.S.M. send my way today but this: Atheist Pin-ups!

It's amazing who's "out of the mainstream of America." It's a pretty cool list with quotes and attibutions, and of course, with purty pictures of each infidel heathen. Feynman is no big surprise, but Warren Buffett AND Lance Armstrong? I've heard Bill Gates is the devil incarnate, but how can that be when he finds no evidence of the opposing quarterback? I do like this quote from him tho, "Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning." Now that's just evil.

In my a la carte, love hate relationship with the kludge of ideas that is Ayn Rand, here's a quote I can go with:

"The Founding Fathers were neither passive, death-worshiping mystics nor mindless, power-seeking looters; as a political group, they were a phenomenon unprecedented in history: they were thinkers who were also men of action. They had rejected the soul-body dichotomy, with its two corollaries: the impotence of man's mind and the damnation of this earth; they had rejected the doctrine of suffering as man's metaphysical fate, they proclaimed man's right to the pursuit of happiness and were determined to establish on earth the conditions required for man's proper existence, by the "unaided" power of their intellect."

Yeah, but could they dance? Other names include some actresses and actors, some real porn actresses (somewhat SFW; for credibility to the concept I spose). There's even Branson and, and... And et tu, Ted Williams? There is no God. Ooops. Well, you know what I mean.

Here's the linky again.
