It’s not polite to laugh at other people’s beliefs.
Since I’m unconcerned with being polite…
Ha ha ha ha ha ha…
If anyone wants to plunk down twenty bucks to attend this conference, I’ll reimburse you in exchange for a written report.
Seriously.
..hee hee…snicker…
No! Seriously!
I’ve gotta hand it to Jim Palmer.
The guy is obviously a gifted salesman.
He’s getting paid to teach spiritualism to people who don’t believe in spirits!
Tee-hee…giggle…
That’s it! Stop!
I’m imagining what other workshops he might teach:
- Hand-to-Hand Combat for Pacifists
- Pork Chop Recipes for Vegans
- Voice Lessons for Mimes
- Teach Your Goldfish To Unicycle
- Color Theory for Blind People
Anything is possible with reason and rationality!
From the conference main page:
“This year, we’re getting SMART about consent, respect, and hell yes, more positive sex!”
Hell yes!
We’re getting SMART with stuff like:
Respect!
And this:
This “25-year-old concept that is little known” is what backward, narrow-minded, religious folks call, “promiscuity”.
Maybe Darrel Ray and Jim Palmer could combine their talks and call it:
Overcoming Loneliness with Detached, Loveless Sex
Overall, this conference looks like it will be ultra-enlightened.
Seriously!
…giggle…
Science, reason, and critical thinking will be championed.
Godless spirituality will permeate the heathen.
It will lift the spirits of the spiritless.
It will enrapture souls of the soulless.
I’m gonna stop writing about it and slather myself in hand sanitizer.

No, it NEEDS to be labeled “religion” so it can no longer be taught in public schools!
Comedy is too easy. That not stuff you could make up, but I suppose it is difficult to convince people you didn’t.
Don’t tell people comedy is easy!!!
Darwinian Demons: How evolution brings out the worst in us and what to do about it! “we approach problems in the modern world using brains that were adapted to survive on the savannah.” This looks like a workshop that is just asking to be made fun. Hopefully it’s not the time as Mr. Palmer’s. Have to go I’m about to stalk a gazelle.
Oh gosh…I don’t even want to think about what the “group activity” is in Dr. Rey’s seminar. If I could not think about not thinking about it, that would be better.
It’s good to see the atheists finally going public with their “Sex with furniture” movement. Too long have the Christian right insisted that sex was for marriage, and liberals insisted that it should mainly between consenting human adults. Now that Atheists have embraced the “scientific fact” that we differ from toasters only in the complexity of our make up (And the fact that toasters are made by an intelligent designer with a purpose) Finally a man and the furniture he “loves”? Uh.. “desires..?” Um…
Never mind. I’m also going to wash my brain and eyes with hand sanitizer. And I am NOT going to that conference. I’d be afraid to touch any of the chairs. Or tables. Or anything else.
Ha! Let me affirm and validate this entire post. I live in one of the most secular areas in the country. We are big on the spiritual, every possible harebrained spiritual practice known to man…except Jesus Christ. True story, “Christians are too weird for me,” once said a man to me who was wearing a loincloth with a bone through his nose while burning sage to cleanse the area. Unfortunately assorted fetishes and sexual pursuits are also things we try to pour into the abyss of our souls where God wants to be. It is tragic, but somewhat comical too, observable science and human behavior suggests we actually do have a God gene. We have actually been designed to seek out our Creator, to chase the spiritual. When we try to fight that, we simply find our selves in some really nutty places.
Christians are too weird for me as well. But Atheists are even worse. I’ll take Christian weirdos over godless weirdos any day.
*snerk* My belief is that stupid beliefs should be laughed at.
