Actually, it was Earl Pitts who noticed that soccer was a form of Devil worship: 1) Soccer was introduced in the US about the time that prayer was taken out of the schools. Coincidence? I think not. 2) Soccer denies children the use of their God-given hands. 3) The constant pounding of soccer balls on heads causes brain damage and leaves people more susceptible to the Devil. 4) All the countries that are good at soccer (where they deceitfully call it "football") are full of godless Communists, liberals, and/or Catholics. 5) Soccer balls got them pentagrams printed all over them. Earl Pitts -- whatever happened to him? He still writes a monthly column that appears in my monthly newsletter from my electric company. I don't know what else he is up to. He's a hoot for sure.

Being an athiest takes work and commitment. You have to be offended
any time you see a religous symbol. You have to seek out the faithful and insult and denegrate them. Huh? Being an athiest requires not believing in god. It is being an activist that takes work and commitment. Being passionate about God is a religion, no matter how many Gods you think there might be, from zero to Olympus. Uh, no again. Being passionate may make you an activist. The two are not related at all. Scientologists don't believe in God or Gods, and they're a religion. No, they're a scam with tax benefits. Not collecting stamps is more like not caring if there's a God. Call us Apathists. Strike three, but if you'd like to slice some hairs (which are sometimes worth slicing), my particular dissection is: theist: Believes that god exists. nontheist: Does not believe that god exists. athiest: Believes that god does not exist. agnostic: Is not sure that the gods of any existing religions are real. evangelical: one who promotes their beliefs attempting to convince others to "see the light". These beliefs may be religious or otherwise; though the word has religious connotations it can be aptly used for any set of beliefs. activist: one who fights for the rights of a particular group, whether it be a religious group or not.
