Centrists do it in circles

Do we add ourselves to your list? I didn't want to edit your user page without asking first. SOPHIA 19:14, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead. Arch O. La 19:16, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Countering System Bias?

Please merge yourselves to Wikipedia:WikiProject Countering Systemic Bias, before someone starts suspecting you are trying to push a pov. --Victim of signature fascism | There is no cabal 01:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

• I sent a message to the other members. Arch O. La 01:57, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Just join that project (sign your name on the project page), and help out at the "CSB collaboration of the week" or on some of the articles highlighted. Highlighting that you have an interest in religious articles by your signatures would be a good idea. Victim of signature fascism | There is no cabal 02:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I was bold and just added my name - have been busy all day so didn't have time to catch up with everything - just wanted to make sure we're not accused of anything. SOPHIA 22:36, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

I just hope my added disclaimer clears things up. Arch O. La | TCF member 22:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

OTOH

Two Lutherans, an Atheist, and an Agnostic walk into a bar. Before they can order, a Cabalist (not to be confused with Kabbalist) tells them, "You're in the wrong bar." KillerChihuahua^?!? 13:00, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll add it. Arch O. La | TCF member 21:44, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

How about:

After they drink, the Lutheran says, "I believe you'll pay the bill." Agnostic says, "I'm not sure I can pay the bill." The Atheist runs out the door, leaving a note behind: "As long as I can't see the bill, there is no bill to pay!" --Avery W. Krouse 22:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

You know, I did give permission to edit the subpage. But I'll add it myself. Arch O. La | TCF member 22:27, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Didn't know if it would be appropriate for the Grand Poobah of the now-defunct Christian Cabal to add a joke to the TCF page, hehe. --Avery W. Krouse 22:33, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

How do we know you didn't just go underground? I cannot read your e-mail, after all ;) Arch O. La | TCF member 22:40, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

How did you guess? We're currently planning a merger with the National Association of Aunts and Great-Aunts. We're thinking about calling the new group the "Aunty-Christ Cabal." ...wait... --Avery W. Krouse 23:10, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Guessing was easy. That's just the sort of thing a cabal would do. Arch O. La | TCF member 23:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

And here's a box for your members:

A Lutheran, an Agnostic, and an Atheist walk into a bar...

Heh. If we are to do this, we should either remove the cross, or add Athiest and Agnostic symbols. BTW what is the Agnostic symbol? A blank? Arch O. La^TalkTCF 04:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I used that plus symbol (as opposed to an elongated cross) to reflect the "center" concept. The plus meets in the center of the sphere and both plus and sphere are perfectly equal all around. Centrism? --Avery W. Krouse 07:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

No thank you. I've had enough of Wikidebates for now. I'm going to stick to what I know (Which at the moment is Wikibook French, lol) --Avery W. Krouse 07:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Additional comments

To quote a German song: "In Heaven, there is no beer, that's why we drink it here." --CTSWyneken 10:54, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

"The atheist offers to buy the others a standard measure of ethyl alcohol infused liquid that induces an intesified jovial social experience followed by soporific state. By the time he has finished saying all this the agnostic and the lutheran are already on their third round and having a fun time." SOPHIA 12:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Sounds rather Vulcan to me...not sure how to fit it in, since the Atheist already agreed to one beer if someone else buys it. Arch O. La^TalkTCF 16:24, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It was supposed to be full of FACTS (you can't call it beer - that'a a POV non specific name- ethyl alcohol solution etc) and no POV!! It obviously doesn't work as it's supposed to be about how athiests seem to get wrapped up in boring technicalities whilst everyone else justs gets on with enjoying being alive. Youi obviously haven't met the tediously serious atheists I have!SOPHIA 17:27, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It kind of reminded me of Robsteadman (and Mr. Spock). Yes, I think it's funny, I just couldn't figure out how to synthesize it! Arch O. La^TalkTCF 17:31, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Actually the "mr spock" analogy 'aint bad with some of the people I've met. On a serious note it just shows how when you completely turn something around (ie the athiest isn't the punch line anymore) how it changes the whole tenor of the joke. Quite illustrative of the problems we sometime have. SOPHIA 17:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

(Random, half-formulated joke. Help!) On the drive home, the three see those all-too-common blue lights flashing in their rear view mirror. The Lutheran prays, "Oh God, I believe you'll save us from this ticket." The Atheist warns, "Well, that cop will use a test to verify the sobriety of the driver. I can assure you there will be no ticket." The Agnostic, who happens to be driving, gets so worked up over whether or not there will be a ticket and throws up out the window. Right onto the cop, that is. The cop says, "I believe you need to step out of the car." The Atheist exclaims, "What do you know? The cop's a Lutheran too!" --Avery W. Krouse 02:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

It's got potential. Can anybody balance Avery's formula? Arch O. La^TalkTCF 09:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

It looks like it will synthesize just as it is. Fair made me chuckle - just shows humour crosses many a boundary. SOPHIA 14:06, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Avery asked for help, and there is some verbiage that messes up the comedic timing. I tried to clean it up before I added it to the synthesized comedy routine. Arch O. La^TalkTCF 16:22, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Back At You!

CTSWyneken has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better.

Actually, a Lutheran partisan accused others of a Jewish Cabal. Boisclair and I cringed. We're coming to what I think will be some quiet here... --CTSWyneken 02:21, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
