Atheists vs Theists challenge cup

I see atheist want to play in theist side, and theist want to play in the atheist side. Does this implay any thing?

Any way my ratings is 1300's. And I will be with theist side.

I was thinking we play a 20 vs 20 match, for prestige. If you're interested, post your name, rating and which team you'd be playing for and if enough people are interested, I'll see if we can organise it.

Put me down as a Theist. You can look in my profile for my rating, you lazy git.

I'm playing for the greater glory of Eist Pimpengott and pledge to wear a purple trilby while making all of my moves, as well as sending all in-game taunting in Hrothgarian. What other gods are my teammates on the Theist side playing for? Is anyone playing for the One True God? If so, will these people be sabotaging their teammates' efforts?

Atheist - 1500's

Is there even anyone to play yet?

I will play for the theists. I'm in the 1200s right now.

You see, every thousand years, I test each life system in the universe. I visit it with mysteries, earthquakes, unpredicted eclipses, strange craters in the wilderness...If these are taken as natural, I judge that system ignorant and harmless; I spare it.

But if the Hand of Blakbuzzrd is recognized in these events, I judge that system dangerous to Us. I call upon the great god Dyzan, and for his greater glory -- and our mutual pleasure -- I destroy it, utterly.

I'd like to say that I'm playing for the theists to avoid the loonies. 😉

I would normally defect to the side of the atheists as several have done, but I will stay on the theist side as they hate me anyway.

This is Great! You and Jaywill will be partners in the faith.

Where is Jaywill?

He's probably in prayer asking God to help him understand the irony. 🙂

It looks like the theist camp needs some support to even make this match logistically possible. I'll play for the theists.

I will be playing in the name of Chomolungma (Goddess Mother of the World), a.k.a. Mount Everest. Don't let Her rocky, inanimate appearance fool you!

I'll join the atheists team even though it seems to be composed mostly of Christians. My rating varies depending on how much time I take to think about each move. 1400 to 1700.

Hmm, the lack of theists in this thread seems to be having a strange effect on the atheist team; they're all converting! This suggests to me that the best way of bringing god to the masses is in fact to be very, very quiet.

Anyhow, we need more theists for this to work, it somewhat undermines the nature of the idea if it's atheists against atheists.

I'd rather stick nails in my eyes.

Perhaps it should be a match between those who prefer nails in their eyes and those who prefer nails in their hands and feet.

Although, given your avatar, it's not entirely clear which group you'd belong to. 😉
