Census - 'No religion'

Posted 26.07.2011 @ 10.38AM

That sounds fairly speculative. According to this http://www.eurekastreet.com.au/article.aspx?aeid=24159 Australia has had a number of PMs who were/are non-believers. Atheists are just as bad true-believers and I find the whole Jedi & Pastafarian thing to be somewhat disrespectful.

FYI I'm not religious.

@Pyro Everyone knows the religious prefer DNB.

@dave Making a comparison between someones faith and the absurd seems disrespectful. I think it's pretty unlikely a religious persons beliefs hold much truth but at the same time I don't need to mock them.

@Looney I never mentioned churches. What I mean is atheists are just as bad as true-believers in their dogmatic approach to their version of the truth

@looney How does any of that address what I said. All I am saying is that being sure there is no god is just as bad as being sure there is a god. Of course you could argue over the semantic definition of atheism.

Have you even read my clarification?

clarification of what?

sorry i just do not see anywhere where you have clarified how i am as bad as some group of bile throwing, fantasy led zealots

all i want is those who have no faith to let it be known

Tell you what, when most organised religions stop being disrespectful of others, I'll support your view. But while they continue to disrespect and preach discrimination (ie against gays for one), then I'll support anyone putting whatever they want as their "religion" in the census. Though I do support the idea that people should all choose "No religion" as the most effective option if having no religious beliefs.

And don't get me wrong, if you or anybody else chooses to follow a particular religion, I'll respect that of you as an individual assuming you personally don't discriminate. But most of the religious bodies themselves, yeah, they have a ways to go yet. Hence while they're being "absurd", I hold it as fair enough that some people may choose to be "absurd" in response.

Women.

My interpretation of the comment was that I had no right to be complaining because the fact that women are underrepresented is proven by having fewer females on the judging panel.

I'm going to go ahead and heed @Jem, @Crispe and @dave when they say that I've misread your comments. I misinterpreted what you read @PyroVesten. Personally i thought the comment seemed very uncharacteristic of your previous posts and I was taken aback by what I perceived to be unnecessary hostility.
I sincerely apologise if my comment offended you.

You're right, my terminology was not best chosen.

You'd need to cater for the cynics, of which there'll always be many. Anything that becomes too popular gets chopped down as easily as it's built up. Unfortunately this campaign/organisation shot themselves in the foot, and they've probably also ruined the medium for other worthier organisations for a while me thinks.

Oh boy, how many clients have I met like this...?

Check out the PDF design brief on the dvize site, I use something very similar for all my clients now, helps focus them and gives me many answers without needing to spend much time.
