He's an atheist who practices science. I think it would be fitting for atheists, instead of becoming God at 1,000 posts, to instead become "Richard Dawkins". ;)

Is he the dude that wrote the God dilusion? Or as in Dawkins that believed in evolution or am I just not thinking correctly?

P.S. how can one practice Science? Is he a scientologist? True science is fundamental and cannot be practices. It makes us up. And everything. It is perfect. One cannot possible practice science. That would be like me saying I practice Physics. Or I practice Maths. I cannot possible practice them but I abide by many of the fundamental and unknown laws of such things but do not practice them. i.e. I practice gravity by staying on the ground. It simply is not practicable.

I sometimes practice practical jokes. It was a tongue-in-cheek remark.

Ah. HAAAA LOL. Do you really believe in him? Why should he be higher than God? I think pure maths in its perfectness ought to be higher than God as God must also abode by the rules of maths whether it be abstract or day to day simple maths, more likely the former. For Dawkings is merely a man with Philosophical idea's.

Ah good ol' tongue in cheek. People don't get me when I am not being serious. I think that's because a huge percentage of communication (I think 3/4) is via body language and unfortunately we are communcating through a machine that has no body language and so we have to interpret by the methods and structures of others text.

I prefer 1 girl and 2 cups, make em "D" cups.

I figure Bond is just trying to raise Pirate's post numbers, getting her closer to Godhood.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably.

No, I'm atheist towards Dawkins. ;) (Payback)

Because there is no God, according to Dawkins.

Then at 1,000 posts (or even now), you should request a mathematical sign. Do somthing unorthodox, like Tsuzuki on MADB. It breaks board monotony.

I am more than half way there. How cool is that. Jersey Girl we should arrange something like that elsewhere only not Mormon stuff. That would be cool.
