thank you!
For inserting some sanity into the Amazing atheist article. It's been co-opted by childish and rather obtuse people--

Second Constitution
Of course the Essay:"Second Constitution of the United States" is mine now since I've initiated an initial draft, but hopefully not for much longer -- if my name is there (ie Essay by Thomas Wright Sulcer), then others may be reluctant to modify the essay. I want others to modify the essay to improve it, to see what happens, to have it become a community effort. Can any essay be modified by any other RationalWiki user? (Is this a policy?)--Thomas Wright Sulcer (talk) 03:52, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- I'm not sure. I just got here. But the edit history says only you wrote it, so that's what I went by. Revert if you please, but then there will be an implication that the document speaks for the community as a whole. Which it can't. You do know that a lot of us in the community aren't American and might not give a shit about your Constitution in the first place, right? PintOfStoutTalk Good people drink good beer. 03:54, 22 November 2011 (UTC)
- We have done is before, but it might be more suited to a debate. - π

- An essay can be modified by the community if the original author(s) give their express permission. I think a lot of people here, whether American or not, have an interest in the US constitution and would be interested in collaborating on a second version of it. In essay form, as opposed to a debate, this might produce a version of the constitution that reflects the community's preferences more than just debating what we want. Or something like that.

"Christianity is an abomination to common sense"
That was hyperbole! --★uːʤɱ atheist 00:10, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Two hints
Before slashing near enough 50% of an article, bring it up on the talk page first. Secondly, less insulting edit comments please, it makes you look like a twat.
narchist 01:39, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- So you undid ALL of my edits, instead of taking the time to deal with the ones that you have a problem with? That's equally unhelpful. PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 01:40, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- And that too can be undone simply. I'm just asking that you state what you're doing and don't leave dickish sounding comments in your wake.
d hominem 01:41, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
- Like I said, dickish edit comments make you look like a twat. I'm just saying to state on a discussion page before you hack away at the entire thing and removing most of it.

"Christianity is an abomination to common sense."
Just so you know UHM is a monumental asshat and a world class clown-shoes. That's a fact. Aceace 02:04, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Stout
~_0 Any particular recommendations? Purchasing day is coming up.Тytalk 02:39, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- Guiness only if it's on tap and you're in Eire. Murphy's the same. St. Ambroise Oatmeal Stout is really nice. Sam Adams is good. New Holland is good too, as is the provocatively-named Pearl Necklace [1]. PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 02:46, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
- I've had Sam Adams before. Guess its what the grocery store will have in stock, and not much as exams are the following week. Тytalk 02:49, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

Intersection of religion and corporate culture
I don't know if this is quite what you're going for, but the astroturfing of "religious" organizations against environmental reform has become a more common tactic since the '90s. This pinko site has a good overview. There's more on the anti-environmentalism page, and this character in particular is noteworthy. Oh, and, on a semi-related note, there's always Ralph Reed. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 23:26, 27 November 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks! I'm really interested in using religion as a way to market stuff and as a way to create corporate identities, especially in stuff that isn't expressly meant to be sold as Christian stuff, like sexy underoos. I'll definitely look at this and see what I can do with it. PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 00:57, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- So are you aiming to become the next Eddie Bernays or just dissecting the bullshit of his descendants? Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 01:05, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, the latter; I lack the necessary skills to do the former, and I'm pretty soundly anti-capitalist, or at least anti-massive-consumption-of-unneeded-stuff, to boot. That all said, you might find this guy interesting. PintOfStout Talk Good people drink good beer. 01:10, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
