"Bo's Law States:

It is impossible to tell through the internet whether a person or organization is legitimately Atheist or is simply a person or organization making fun of Atheism."

Bo's Law In Detail:

Bo's Law relates to Atheism and the difficulty of identifying legitimate Atheists and their organizations because it is so hard to tell fake Atheism from the real thing. The law also works in reverse because as Christians, we know in actuality, there is really no such thing as "Atheism." So in fact, "real Atheists" can also be indistinguishable from "fake Atheists" because there are people and organizations who claim to be Atheist, while we know that is quite impossible, since there is no such thing as a real Atheist. All sane and rational people believe in God, whether they deny it or not. The Bible says that people who say there is "no God" are "'ivveleth (ihv-vel-LETH)" which translates to "mentally insane" (Psalm 14:1) Thus, people who claim to be Atheists are suffering from a mental delusion that can be cured in many cases by steadfast prayer, and/or mild electro-shock therapy coupled with approved medications prescribed by an authorized Christian Psychiatrist or experienced Pastor.

I still prefers Poe's law.

It's always good to have these nice fundies to come and explain to us what we actually believe in. We are so easily confused...

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
Carl Sagan - 1996

I like the part about the "experienced Pastor" prescribing meds--God's pusher...

Landover Baptist... I was wavering until I read about drug induced faith prescribed by a Pastor. I read that twice prior to clicking the link. It's incredible how difficult it is to tell real christian writing from parody.

Wonderful stuff! It takes the primary exploiters of Poe's Law to create Bo's Law.

And that's why I put it in Religion in favor of Humor; just to see how many link non-openers I'd catch.

Fewer than I'd expected, actually -- well done! -- but never the less:

GOTCHA!

Nice one, Filthy!

I've been burned many a few times, so I'm cautious. Thanks largely to moakley, I was able to pull off a save this time.
