1. I think this is a great example of why the "militant atheist" meme is a sucker's game.

All this guy did was ask some good questions about why a corporation was funding churches, and what that meant for people who don't attend church. Absolutely nothing he did was "militant." There is no damned "militant atheist" problem. And I guarantee you that the theocrats will cheerfully accuse any atheist who dares to speak up in any context as "militant."

2. You are (sadly) 100% correct.

A "militant atheist" is anyone who points out the daily discrimination we face as non-believers. We're supposed to just sit down, shut up, and let the majority religion have its way.

4. Militant atheism would be blowing the whole Dennis as a result of their...

offer or kill the manager. Did that happened?

[Nevernose]

13. Did you mean blowing UP the Denny's?

I'm a fairly "militant atheist," but there's no way I'm blowing a whole Denny's...

3. Make up a bulletin for the Church of the Flying Spaguetti Monster.

Isn't that a real church?

11. Agreed. Or the local secular humanist organization. Then they would have to donate to

it. Wouldn't that put a fox in the hen house! :rofl:

5. added "bonus": Denny's food sucks.

so he got shitty food and discriminated against. TWOFER.

if that's being militant, then i'm a fucking general.

[trotsky]

6. Agreed there.

Denny's is the Wal-Mart of national chain restaurants.

9. without the fancy-dressed and hygienic employees you see at WALLY-WORLD.

7. But, but I used to love their brownies . . .

8. I guess if by "millitant" they mean...

that we no longer ride in the back seat silently, then I guess I am militant.

But by proper definition of the term, we are no at all militant. Now the actions that have been done in the name of their religion(s) and their delusion of moral superiority, they are in fact militant. Dr. Tiller anyone?

10. I believe ffrf already took Chik-fil-A to court for this and won.

Or got them to stop in some way, anyhow.

If I liked Chik-fil-A or Denny's, I'd take a Church of Freethought program.....

14. Some of that famous Christian love

Check out a former case, linked from there:

The Wisconsin State Journal's "Snoop" column last October reported that grocer Ken Kopp of Madison, Wisconsin, had been running a coupon for about a decade in his Catholic church bulletin, offering those who attend Mass a weekly free gallon of milk. No other shoppers were privy to free milk. When "Snoop" reporter Patricia Simms asked how Kopp knew whether the coupon-holder actually went to Mass, he replied: "Well, if they didn't, then they're lying, and they're going to burn in hell and we get to watch."

So one of the rewards of being a good Catholic is watching the eternal punishment of someone who told a small lie in order to feed their family.
