Submitted by Atheinostic on Wed, 2008-02-27 19:33
  1. Pull aside an unruly child in a preschool Sunday School class and say: "If you're bad in here, you'll go to Hell."

  4. Un-tune the piano.
  5. Replace the pianist's sheet music with "Stairway to Heaven".
  6. Going through all the hymnals, mark song 666.
  7. Find an empty seat, and ask the person next to it: "Is this seat SAVED?"
  8. Toss around a giant beach ball before service, like at Grateful Dead concerts.
  9. Ten minutes before it starts, find a kid in the front rows, hand him a dollar, and tell him to ask the preacher: "Would you rather be stoned or crucified?"

  17. Twenty minutes into the service, look at your watch, stand up, and say: "Oh shit. This isn't the wedding!" Run out quickly.
  18. Eat dry Cap'n Crunch through the entire service.
  19. If there is a crying baby, go over and tell the mother: "IF YOU DON'T SHUT THAT GODDAMN THING UP SO HELP ME GOD I'LL KILL IT!!!"
  20. Dress all in black, or in camo.
  21. Pierce the body of a tiny animal with stainless-steel wire. Wear it in your ear as jewelry. If you are male, wear two. Change sets for the evening service.

Haha, your twisted and

Haha, your twisted and bunched panties make me laugh.

This is classic.

2. Have you ever heard of such a thing as being polite? You are just as bad as the christians you mock. These stupid pranks will not show how cool you are; only how really juvenile and what an embarrassment you are to your parents.

Is the person who posted

Is the person who posted these jokes an evangelical atheist or fundamentalist atheist? Or, perhaps a strict and particular atheist? The jokes are pretty lame and do not do anything to make the world a better place. Humanists do a better job of that.

For some bridge building activity check out Atheists for Jesus.

I'm an agnostic atheist and

I'm an agnostic atheist and a theological noncognitivist. I posted this because I thought it was funny, and the original is no longer on the server where I found it a few years ago. I'm pretty sure it isn't meant to be a treatise on improving cyber relations between secular folks and Christians.

What exactly is a fundamentalist atheist? I know a fundamentalist Christian is one who accepts the 5 fundamentals of Christianity; but the only thing fundamental about atheism is a lack of god belief.

It's funny, but I'm

It's funny,
but I'm wondering why and atheist would go to church anyways...But yeah if I for some realon find myself HAVING to go to church and not being able to get out of it, then yeah, I'll pull some of this little pranks, maybe not the really big ones like telling poples babies to shut the hell up..but little things. It'll be funny! *snicker*

It's not about being an

It's not about being an atheist, my dear. It is for all Non-Christians!

Years ago, when this list appeared on the usenet people at least knew what they were talking about. Nowadays it's but an old joke.

Whats funny about the last

Whats funny about the last one, is that last summer I went to a rave party in a church. Im not even joking, it was massive.

"Is this seat SAVED?" - love

"Is this seat SAVED?" - love it!

I'm an atheist, and I'm

I'm an atheist, and I'm embarrassed that any fellow non believer would set our cause backwards ten years by even considering doing any of these idiotic, juvinial stunts.

Haha this is good stuff. As

Haha this is good stuff.

As an Atheist, I don't see how this makes us look immature. It shows that we have a sense of humor. Good luck trying to find that in most Fundamentalist Christians.

That being said, I will agree that most of these are rather obnoxious and should not be attempted, but a good laugh never hurt anyone. Please, just don't bring up any intolerance bullshit. I am not intolerant of any Christian that is not intolerant of me. I have problems with organized religion and any religious people who try to force their beliefs on other people. As long as you keep your beliefs to yourself, I have no problem with you.

"Hate the sin, not the sinner."
Great mantra. Live by it.

Find an empty seat, and ask

Find an empty seat, and ask the person next to it: "Is this seat SAVED?" *Priceless!!*

another good one is slap

another good one is slap your neighbour on the cheek, and see if he turns the other cheek to you. If not, tell the minister.

I'm part of the ministry

I'm part of the ministry team at a local church, and I find this list hilarious and inspirational.

There WAS this one time I stood in the center in back of the church and pantomimed to the pastor that his fly was down ... he immediately stepped REAL CLOSE to the pulpit and STAYED there until he was done with the sermon. When he closed with a prayer he checked his fly and gave me the DIRTIEST look ... we still laugh about it. :)

I'm seriously considering a variant of #49!!!

Ahahahaha, this was

Ahahahaha, this was hilarious. xD

#37 made me lol. xD Seriously.

I'd have to say that 36 is

I'd have to say that 36 is my utmost favourite. Although if someone did it to me, I'd probably crap my pants. Hahaha.

I had a dream that the pope

I had a dream that the pope was rolling through my neighborhood in the old school pope mobile with the bubble of protection. The hand of god came down and pushed on the top of it. When he released it, there was a loud pop and the pope did a couple flips inside his bubble. Dreams like that "Boggle" my mind.

This just makes atheists

This just makes atheists seem like immature assholes.

Teehee, i'm atheist and I

Teehee, i'm atheist and I LOVED this! ^w^

Seriously, it was really funny >w<;

17 is great.
i though 37 was awfully rude though D:

Anyways, thanks for the laugh~

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!! I loved this

Bwa-ha-ha-ha!!!

I loved this list... and I'm a minister.

(Ok... #1 and #19 would tick me off - but the rest of it? Too fun!)

Pick your targets wisely.

Pick your targets wisely. Let the poor little neighborhood churches be: Save this for the churches with auditoriums for sanctuaries and bigger financial offices than most small businesses.

1. I would suggest that you

1. I would suggest that you find each PC in the church and set the homepage to www.youporn.com

2. Volunteer in the nursery and use ELMO as Jesus to demonstrate the crucifiction.

mmmm pie.

mmmm pie.

Friend of mine had to go to

Friend of mine had to go to church every Sunday. Two things he did to at least put the time to good use.

1. Try holding your breath as long as possible. Holding your breath is hard, it's trying to breath again without making a noise :p

2. Memorize Pi. He had a tiny printout of it up to like 1000 digits to keep him busy.

Wow, he must've been really

Wow, he must've been really really bored. Was he Catholic?

I'm a recovering Catholic, myself. Those services are some of the most boring things known to man. I used to be convinced that the only reason people had to switch between sitting and standing during mass was because everyone would fall asleep otherwise.

In high school, my friend and I would sit in the back and see who could make the loudest fart noises without attracting attention. I'm surprised we didn't get excommunicated or something, in retrospect.... lol

Yeah, Catholic... European

Yeah, Catholic... European Catholic at that. I'd have to say, if you 16 and you go to church in Belgium... let's just say you dropped the average age in the building by at least a couple years.

Really, if you feel like

Really, if you feel like giving Atheists a good name instead of making us look like a bunch of immature preteens, take this down.

It's just a goddamn joke.

It's just a goddamn joke. It's Atheists like you who add to the "Grouchy" stereotype. If you don't like stereotypes, stop being one yourself and stuff a sock in it.

Chill out, it's just a joke.

Chill out, it's just a joke.
