People at last year's Burning Man festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert recite Dr Seuss's 'Oh, the places you'll go', his last book.

It only takes a girl

With reference to our discussion about the ark (see previous post), and thanks to Tony Sidaway.

The kids from Outnumbered tie the vicar in knots (not literally, obviously).

Recommend watching full screen.

"Pastor" Michael Stahl from Florida, who doesn't actually have a church and probably assumed the title himself, is clearly a very ignorant and prejudiced man. A year ago he wrote in his blog that he was going to start a grassroots organization to keep a database of atheists called "The Christian National Registry of Atheists." He wrote,

I mean, think about it. There are already National Registrys [sic] for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, etc... This type of 'National Registry' would merely be for information purposes.

When Mr Stahl's great idea came to light a few days ago, it naturally annoyed a lot of people, mainly atheists like us, who'd never considered any similarity with sex offenders or terrorists. Mr Stahl seems to have neglected to make a list of all the Catholic sex offenders, but perhaps he thinks that the Pope's right, and we should just ignore them.

Anyhow, the Thinking Atheist thought that this was a good opportunity to point out what a great list this might be.
