I’ve been looking into buying a folding bike for my commute into the city. Going through this checklist, I think I’m on target by choosing the Montague folding bikes. I guess Montague makes all full-size folding bikes, which seem really tough and durable. I like that the components are standard, so local bike shops have the parts. Along w/ my daily commute to work I also travel a lot by train, so these bikes would be perfect for unfolding and riding around in different cities.

Comment on How to be an Atheist by james sc

james sc — Sun, 10 May 2009 09:29:37 +0000

1. Believe everything in the Bible because ‘God’ wrote it.
2. Believe and quote the Bible to prove that the Bible is infallible.
3. Completely ignore the inconsistency between steps 1 & 2.
4. Call yourself a “tolerant” person and “open minded” but don’t practice such virtues when it comes to Atheism.
5. Try to laugh out loud every time am Atheist makes a statement about what they don’t believe even if you don’t think it’s really that funny. This helps avoid a “serious” conversation.
6. Always bring up the existence of everything to prove that there is a God and ignore the argument that this is a ‘God of the Gaps’ fallacy.
7. When referring to the Bible use the words “accurate” and “historically” together as often as possible and call unbelievers whatever names you want because the goal is to frustrate the Atheists so that his sinful nature comes out and he gets angry and then you can call him a hypocrite.
8. Act as if your moral standards are higher than everyone else. Stereotype atheists as morally-suspect people and cast them as evil.
9. Never answer a question directly but quickly change the subject to make a completely different point. If you’re asked why you keep changing the subject just repeat this step as necessary.
10. Be as ignorant, close-minded, dismissive and verbal as possible – there is no need to make sense or use logic in your arguments – just keep arguing.
11. Use words like “sin,” “hellfire,” “saviour,” “Satan” and “Jesus loves you, no matter what” even when the other person clearly doesn’t believe in them.
12. Claim that Christianity is rooted in “faith” even though faith is just another word for blind belief.
13. Try to use the “faith” argument back to the atheists even though science is not faith, it is a method of finding truth through rigorous experimentation and rationalism.
14. Always ask for evidence for the non-existence of God but never accept anything presented to you. At the end of a discussion remind them that all you needed was some evidence for the non-existence of God.
15. Quote only the Bible verses that make God look good and fair.
16. Talk about being a good person remembering that moral standards have change dramatically over the centuries.
17. Say that you have read the Bible and that you understand what it teaches whether this is true or not.
18. Believe that people only pick on Christians – Christians are the victims! We all know Christians have been discriminated against more than Atheists.
19. Always use Hitler to make the point above. Even though Hitler was actually a Christian.
20. Remember that you don’t have to prove the existence of God, though the burden lies on you, the person who is making the claim.
21. Make the claim that you have an afterlife, so you can waste your life on Earth worshipping a God instead of the hundreds of other Gods out there.
22. If your conscience begins to bother you because of moral guilt you can numb it with the Bible. The Bible justifies a lot of the nasty stuff.
23. Everyday feel free to thank God that you’re saved – just in case.

Comment on Sprint Phone Service by admin

Thanks BJ. You are right. There are some Great Reps. I think the “lost in transfer” troubles and the unknown limits in the computer system the reps hit in dealing with my billing issue led to a large portion of the trouble.

PS – I am still a customer and have been for several years. If I could find a better phone service I would have moved on long ago :)

Hello, my name is BJ DeHut and I am a representative for Sprint. Thank you for passing along the advice about dealing with customer service. All of our employees try very hard to meet the customer’s needs, some CS reps focus on certain aspects of our service whether it is billing or a phone, so transferring is likely if the correct department isn’t reached in the beginning. I am glad to hear though that you have come across some of our very hard working reps that were able to handle your problem. Comments like these help shape how we handle our customer service. So your input is very much appreciated. Thank you!
