I'd love to have QM, Shakaib, and NoJC4ME
QM's married. Shakaib is only 16. NoJC4ME is probably available. |

Strictly speaking, Vynn, Gaston, myself, JustMyron, Sky styleislove, hynell and a few others should be in our own agnostic/diest group. The problem with that is that myself and JustMyron were in conflict at the time.

Do you have a reference for that? I've read that Groucho said that in response to an invitation to join an elite mens-only club, and I've also read that Groucho said something very similar in response to a (possibly allegorical) woman's invitation that they 'get to know each other better'. |

I think Devil's Advocate is a dumb name for a group that is exclusively theist.
So no, no objections.

Yeah, it was in response to a golf club inviting him while having a "no Jews" policy on their books.
From: http://forum.quoteland.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/99191541/m/1801905006"I don't care to join any club that's prepared to have me as a member"(referring to the Beverly Hills Country Club) - Groucho Marx
One country club offered to drop its no-Jews policy if comedian Groucho Marx promised not to use the swimming pool. He replied, "My daughter's only half Jewish. Can she wade in up to her knees?"
I'll do some more digging, I simultaneously love Groucho and hate urbane Jewish myth. |

Assuming the theists haven't been run off of forum to the extent that there aren't enough people to even HAVE this group, I propose we found a group counter to the Atheist Think Tank to be theist without worrying about defending why we're theist. Of course, Members of ATT group aren't welcome here.

Vynn just wants a bit of attention, 'tis all. He's not a theist as we understand the term. |
