Jones got the first inkling for the idea while leaving a Christmas carol concert six years ago.

An atheist non-Christmas carol.

Dude hey you merry gentleman, let nothing you dismay

For our dudest dude was born, was born on this dudest day

George Orwell was a prophet.

[Publius]

“Random Chance, Rest Ye Merry Gentlepersons”

God?
Wha...?
Who...?

I wouldn't want to an athiest when Judgement Day comes around.
God will be saying to them: who are you?

[dhs12345]

That would be an intersting sermon. What do they talk about? Nothing?

[qam1]

Sounds dumb, one big advantage of being an Atheist is you can sleep late Sunday mornings

They don't bash believers but want to find a new way to meet likeminded people, engage in the community and make their presence more visible in a landscape dominated by faith.

Already exists. It is the modern Democrat party.

[Iron Munro]

The absurdity of it is astounding.

[Gene Eric]

Atheists are idiots.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Nature abhors a vacuum.

The non-belief will get filled with something in a ready-made nasty machine.

I’m a Catholic and have a slightly different view of “end times” than the common Protestant belief, but this kind of crap fits both theories.

When I read a couple Brit comics were involved, I instantly thought of Billy Connolly, as he can be absolutely hilarious, but is a RABID atheist.

[OpusatFR]

Oh good. A country club.

Next comes the pool.

[Nevadan]

if a few hundred in attendance qualifies atheists to say they have a “mega church” affirmative action must have been applied.

[melsec]

Haha People need church - now if they could just realize they need Jesus to go along with it!

I can imagine this rubbish really taking off - from what I see on Facebook people will buy any pseudo spiritual feel good nonsense as long as it is not Christian or fromal religion. If you’re looking for a great example try looking up video of Eckhart Tolle - he speaks absolute tripe but people worship this crap!

And the coolest thing is - YOU GET TO MAKE UP YOUR OWN MORALITY!

No more of this submission to a higher power.
Just think of what you want to do...
then CREATE an arbitrary ethical system which justifies what you want!
Just think...you can be AGAINST it when its done to you, but still JUSTIFY the same act when you do it to others!

And it will help you keep you mind off of your accountability to the LIVING GOD on the Dies Iraes!

Atheism: the ultimate denial.

Psalm 2 King James Version (KJV)
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

[Irenic]

That headline made my husband laugh and laugh.

[Fido969]

AP wishes.

I don’t believe half of this article.

[onedoug]

Seems like faith in nothing to me.

They gather to celebrate a happy event of undetermined nature.

Guess what? “hundreds” is NOT a “mega-church”.
