You guys crack me up. OK, it's good to know that at least some of you have actually done some variation of this--so the stereotype is correct at least occasionally.

Maybe I'll have to start as well, just to shake things up. I really like the idea of busting it out when the remote batteries die. Or when I get a splinter--damn, those things are such a pain in the ***.

Or maybe just at random times in the grocery store--like when they're out of my favorite cheese, which just happens to be on sale.

Oh, the possibilities.

What a wonderful idea.

Well, let's see... I've shook my fists in the air and screamed "Soylent green is people! It's made from people! Damn you, you animalllllllls!" (combining lines from Charleton Heston's two decent movies)
... oh, and "Fools! I'll destroy them all!"
..."Hulk smash!"
..."I had much to do! So much!" (only funny if you've seen the right episode of Invader Zim. If you haven't, go out and watch them all. Now.)

and assorted other things. I don't think I've ever cried "There is no god!" while doing so, but I may have to add that in... but only when minor things don't go my way, of course (as per Roland98's idea about the store being out of favorite cheese, and such. Only in such situations that I'm in public, though.

)

Oh, and one other thing...

What time and station are you on?

Lets see, the first time I ever proclaimed 'God doesn't exist" was during a sunset when I was staring at at some rosy and orange clouds from the back of a car. I started to idly think about why the sky was transformed into colors of a fire, how the light was being scattered by the dust and the thickness of the atmosphere and all that. I said aloud, "God, you don't exist except in my imagination" and it brought a smile to my face.

I did once. I was camping and while using the facilities (a downed tree) a mosquito bit me on my dangling bits.

I try to say:

Go to (proverbial) HELL!

JeBus mofo christmas on a stick!

Imaginary GOD DAMN!

I've never done the shaking the fist part, but last time somebody tried to do some missionary work on me I said just that (in Finnish, of course).

Foxfire · 08-08-2003, 04:03 PM

Well, I haven't shouted 'There is no god!', but I have shaken my fist at the sky and bellowed the phrase: 'Curse you, Falwell! Your uppance will come!'

Ooh, another great use...next time the JW's or "friendly" local Baptists come a-knockin'...open the door politely, shake my fist to the sky with a thunderous "THERE IS NO GOD!!!!!"

Would it ruin the effect if I followed that with, "Have a nice day?"

just so they think all atheists are schizophrenic?
