What a great idea!....

Belief in God symbolically evaporated when more than a hundred atheists were "de-baptized" with a blow dryer yesterday.

Edited to add clip of nine year old getting de-baptzed. Note her comment...

Having never suffered the indignity of getting dunked or otherwise wet down in the name of Jesus, I feel no need to get the neglected undone. But it sounds like a pretty good party, even if the refreshments were a little on the mild side.

If alcohol isn't present, I find root beer quite ok. Dr. Pepper would work too.
In Sweden, I have to go out of my way to get either... Cherry Coke is nowhere to be found. Big shame.

Just get some cherry ice cream syrup and poor a little into your coke. That's how it used to be done back in the days of soda fountains...

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?
