Whew. Good meeting. You should have been here — it ended with a major bang with Seth Andrews blowing us away with some gorgeous video (Sagan!), Maryam Namazie wringing us out with her passionate opposition to the injustice of Islam, and Lawrence Krauss telling us how exciting it was to be insignificant residents of a universe that arose from nothing and is hurtling towards nothing. Now I’m exhausted, but I’m staying here in Kamloops for one more night, with beer to dispose of (I’m like Jesus, only instead of loaves and fishes, beer magically manifests itself in my hands every time I turn around. Which makes me greater than Jesus.)
I think we’ll be having an evening of the remnants of the Imagine No Religion 2 crew and speakers and attendees chattering happily over alcohol. Look me up if you’re still around.
PZ said:
I’m OK with that, but don’t push your luck and claim your are more famous than John Lennon.
Don’t all popes think they’re greater than Jesus?
I should mention here that there is a very intelligently designed set of trees outside the Boston Pizza. I am not getting wet at all waiting for the bus back up that hellish hill.
Also, I lost my beer to housekeeping (thanks to the curator forgetting it was in his room). I will try to pick some more up.
Does that mean a day off, sight-seeing & relaxing? If so, i’m sure that all of us regulars think it’s well-deserved.
It can be demonstrated that PZ exists. I am not convinced that Jesus (of the Bible) ever existed. That also makes PZ greater than Jesus.

-Check the beer springs in the home dimension of the leprechauns, “Wormwood” vol.2
Seth still hasn’t managed to shed the irrational belief system we call Libertarianism. Until then, his work will hold a lot less legitimacy for me.
“Which makes me greater than Jesus.”
You’re lucky this is the 21st century, or you might have to do this.

Which is hilarious tap dancing to placate the “compassionate brothers and sisters of Christ” who wanted to scalp Lennon.
