Lol. Got it. I am a little slow sometimes
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

When I lived in California back in the 1960s there was a low power radio station with the call letters KCUF. Until someone from the city noticed their van in his rear view mirror.

In my badly misspent youth, I ran for student body president as the candidate of the Free University Coalition, solely because I was unable to think of anything that started with k to go on the end. But the student newspaper still spelled it out when they mentioned us.....
And I never did get my $15 in filing fees back from them damned hippies that encouraged me to run.

I attended California State University, Fullerton (CSUF) in the early 70's, again in the mid-80's (graduate program), and am currently there in OLLI (a retiree and seniors educational program).
Back during my original stint (mid-way through which they were upgraded from a state college to a state university), I once played around with the name to come up with "Fullerton University of California State" (FUCS). Elsewhere, there was the outrageous 1980 Robert Zemeckis movie, Used Cars, which centered around the feud between two brothers owning car dealerships across the street from each other and the completely unscrupulous used car salesmen working for one of them. The family name was Fuchs, which is German for "fox". It is pronounced as "fuks" with a normal "u" (which is to say, not in the weird English way which makes phonetic spelling so confusing, but rather like the "oo" in "look" or "goose", but short). In the dialogue, they would overemphasize the English pronunciation as "Fy-oox", making it clear exactly what pronunciation they were trying to avoid even getting close to.

quote: First, damn those asterices! That word, "carazy", should be spelled Charlie-Romeo-Alpha-Zulu-Yankee. Because Admin's completely arbitrary rules, I have to modify the following quotes accordingly. Second, the two instances I have found of it involved a woman talking to a man:
This has all the markings of a classic quote. I have no doubt that the screenwriter(s) of Beetlejuice also got it from another source. Does anybody have any idea what the original source is?

NBC Comedy Show SNL did a skit in 2015 featuring the real Donald Trump. I first watched this today, and it is a bit creepy how it turned out. (2015 was of course before Trump was elected president)

I just heard of Mr. Deity and his YouTube videos at a skeptics breakfast last Sunday. Very clever. From Wikipedia:
quote: Search for "Mr. Deity" on YouTube. Here's an example, "Mr. Deity and the Science Advisor":
In one episode where he's complaining about science and its equations with Lucy, he presents his own "equation", which is printed on some of the items they sell:
(The image that is missing is http://dwise1.net/img/MrDeity.jpg - dwise1.net is not responding to any requests) Basically his version of "Goddidit". Edited by dwise1, : corrected misspelling Edited by Admin, : Replace non-responding image with the missing image.

A skeptics breakfast? Hmmmm...that would itself be an interesting topic. not here though.

Not trying to carry on a discussion on skeptics gatherings; if anyone wants such a discussion then they should start a new topic or find an old one.
We have many social meetings such as breakfasts, dinners, movie nights, hikes, kayaking, etc. I attend three such Sunday breakfasts (for two skeptics groups and one atheist) and used to attend a Friday dinner night until I became obligated to help at a weekly swing dance (not related to skeptics). Basically it's like-minded people getting together discussing many different topics, only a few of which deal with religion. For many, it's a chance to get away from religious/right-wing authoritarian family and co-workers and discuss what's on their minds with others who value reason. It just happen that this Sunday we had a new member who is ex-Mormon and it included a couple recovering Catholics, so religion was the topic this time. The importance of having such groups is illustrated by the experience of Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (read the first chapters of his book, godless for the story). He was raised fundamentalist Christian and became a fundamentalist minister. But then, being a traveling minister, he noticed problems which got him thinking (Cardinal Sin # 8) and then reading and thinking some more. It was when he formed a discussion group to try to work through some of his questions that problems multiplied which led to him leaving the faith. So he found himself in the Los Angeles area all alone with nobody else the world thinking like he now was. He had to move across the country to Michigan to find any like-minded people. Ironically, there was a group in Los Angeles (Atheists United in Santa Monica) whom he could go to, but he didn't know that they existed. This was in the early 1980's, so almost the only way you could know about such a group would be by word-of-mouth or by stumbling upon them by accident -- myself I stumbled upon their weekly 15-minute radio show (no longer exists) purely by accident; that was when I first heard of Dan Barker when they broadcast his guest speaker presentation. Whatever your special interests, there is nothing odd about wanting to associate with others with the same interests. Like I said, if someone wants to discuss this, then just start a new topic.
