Why in the wield would any package ever be marked atheist, or ant other religious marking for that matter?

Packages are often marked with the name of the organization sending them. For instance, newegg, amazon or in this particular case Atheist Shoes...

Atheist shoes are useless as they have no sole... [/rimshot]

MetalSlimeHunt:
-You know how people are, they want everyone to know how important the stuff they're sending is.
-Does it really matter? People are being discriminated against, their reasons why aren't important.
-[Force Persuade] You think this is a great moral outrage.
-Probably the emerging and annoying "Atheist chic" fashion.
-[LIE] The US Postal Service requires that all packages clearly mark the religious beliefs of the sender and receiver.

I heard a ghost story from Trinidad and Tobago or somewhere in the carribean about how a man sold his soul to the devil. He gave him the sole of his shoe and the devil got very angry and burned a hand print into it or something and flew into the earth.

Minor derail, MSH, but more posts should take the form of dialogue trees. Heck, we should have a whole Forum Games thread devoted to normal conversations that proceed like some kind of Bioware game, where the next person gets to choose the response that continues the conversation.

... so like a smaller scale addventure*? I could dig it. Probably not participate, but it'd be interesting to watch

Spoiler: * (click to show/hide)

What's an "Addventure", you ask? Well, it's something similar to a "round robin" story, where different authors take turns to continue one story. The important difference is that this form of story does not follow a single, often meandering stream (because the different authors have different ideas of where they are headed with the story). An Addventure branches.

From the Anime Addventure site, which I'll refrain from linking due to how its content likes to lean. Story, or conversation in this case, then a series of prompts. Someone takes a prompt, runs with it.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense. I didn't read the link, so o didn't know it was in the company name. I thought it was like some thing that when private persons sent, say, a package containing birthday presents, or anything really, they marked it with religion for some reason. With made no sense.

Now I just have too look up what kind of stupid company "Atheist Shoes" is and what makes their shoes so "atheist".

I feel like we've been over this specific point before.

[scriver]

Well, I read up on them and their shoes do look good if extremely unpractical. Seriously, flat undersides? I wouldn't even be able to walk down the dewy hillside after watching the sunrise with a cute hipster girl without falling. Don't you want to be able to to that, hipster, huh, don't you?

Also I would be interested in seeing their sales numbers. It seems like something that's extremely aimed towards an American market and that little "culture war" you have over there. The fact that they actually look very nice in their own right makes it a bit harder to draw any conclusions though, I guess.

Si it's Hipster Atheists Shoes?

They are for wearing around the home. Kind of like slippers... They are actually some what comfortable.

[Sheb]

You got Atheist Shoes MAx White?

[scriver]

You don't wear shoes inside. That's ridiculous.

[Sheb]

Depends on the country scriver. My place got really cold floor, and we don't all have slippers.

Plus, you can decide to use hsoes a sslippers.

I do!

But then I've never in my entire life lived in a home without small children.  They have a tendency to leave messes or pointy objects about.
