The First Ever Freethought Fort Wayne Contest!
Posted by theodoersing on April 12, 2008
I noticed no one else has posted a contest yet here, so I get to be the first! I plan on giving a small token to the winner, but I don’t know what it will be yet. Bragging rights come along with it.
I got this idea from the evangelicalatheist, so he deserves some of the credit. I think he deleted the original contest, but luckily I write down most everything. This is a Haiku contest. The following are some of my entries in his contest. The only rule is that it needs to revolve around religion, atheism, science or philosophy. That leaves it pretty wide open. I will be the final judge (bribes accepted), but I want you guys and gals to tell me which ones you think are the best. I will announce the winner next weekend so get crackin’ and have fun!
My examples:
Bush chokes on pretzel
Atheists briefly wonder:
Might there be a God?
Critical of cults?
Not critical of your faith?
Hypocritical!
Creationism
The Spanish Inquisition
Ignorance is bliss?
Yawning brings demon
Sneezes exorcise demon
Bless you! Body cleansed.
The root of evil?
Money given to churches
to uproot evil
The Old Testament
was just called The Testament
before the new one
Apologist in
missionary position
uses bible belt
From Adam and Eve
to a virgin that conceives
why should I believe?
Hitler had one nut.
Testicular fortitude
was not his strong suit

Great idea, Theo! And I love your examples–very witty. How about this one?
Kids call him “Baldy”
So God sends ferocious bear
Damn kids taunt no more

hey agno
Took care of the double post issue. Looks like WordPress spammed your first comments. Other than my comment no one would ever know there was a problem

Very good agno! I like it a lot.
I’m surprised I didn’t lure Skeptigator into posting a few already. I figured I hooked him after he said he was OCD on anagrams.
