Oh drat - *another* one I'll never be qualified to join.
Crap. One of these days I'll likely have to start my _own_ club...

*Bill* Felton. Sorry, guy.

A perfect position for you to fill.
Let it be so.

We have no particular squabbles with the EAC (Evil Atheist Conspiracy),
but feel that our goals and methods differ sufficiently to require
a separate group.
We have no need of Decoder Rings, for example. We are perfectly happy
to express ourselves in plaintext. Our motto: "In your face, you
godsoaked twit!".
There are no dues. Any Bad Assed Atheist with an In Your Face Attitude
is welcome as a charter member. Resignation from EAC is not necessary,
unless they get their panties all in a knot over it.
There are no meetings planned.
If you are unsure as to your ability to meet the necessary standards
of membership, pleased be advised of the following:
Any member in good standing of the Bozo Brigade probably qualifies.
Any one who has ever been kill-filed by kevin@soft-logic qualifies.
Any one who thinks soft agnostics and "I'm OK, You're OK" types
are wishy-washy mugwumps will certainly qualify.
I expect this to be an elite brigade. There can of course, be no
honorary memberships for theists, no matter how much we may like
them personally (Sorry, Jayne. Sorry, Bob.).
The benefits of membership include the use of our logo (BAAWA!) wherever
appropriate.

I think that's me. I know Matthew has called me a moron on several
occasions.

Don't know about that. I doubt it.

I'm OK here, too, especially with agnostics (I guess they're not
sure about leprachauns or fairies either ;-).

How 'bout it, Tony? Can I join, pleeeeaaasssse?
I've never been part of an elitist atheist organization, and
a bad assed one at that.

Of course it doesn't. It's just shorthand for "10", so people
would understand what I was talking about.
I also forgot
2.5) 2 + 2 = 1 (In Z/3Z or any field of characteristic 3)

accept it or not (-;

I hate to nitpick, but #3 doesn't actually make any sense.

Does (will) the EMAC&EAMC accept the proposition that we have
free-will? (In other words, do they accept the Axiom of Choice?)

As for Health Plan... If you can prove it's existence in ZF, sure.

In the article you originally responded to, they asked me
about the EAMC&EMAC health plan. ZF stands for
"Zermelo-Fraenkel", the usually accepted axioms for set
theory. The Axiom of Choice line was because somebody
asked me the EAMC&EMAC position on Free Will, or as they
put it, whether I accepted the Axiom of Choice. Since
AC is independent, I leave it as optional (-;.
