Being the most expensive zip code in the country and with the highest per capita income of any city in the world, Atherton is where rich people work before retiring to places for old people such as Rancho Santa Fe (cheaper) or Palm Springs (also cheaper). It is seperated into 3 main areas, the area south of Alameda, where Larry Ellison and a few other billionaires live, the midtown area which includes normal people in normal houses that just happen to retail for around 3 Million each, at the cheapest, and the COMPARABLY stank ass area north of El Camino, which includes Lindenwood, a knockoff of midtown, which is impossible to navigate. It is still better than Hillsborough. Other neighboring knockoffs of Atherton include Woodside and Palo Alto, which are the only comparably nice areas, and Menlo Park, which is identical to Atherton except for the addition of businesses, sidewalks, and postage stamp sized lots. In Portola Valley, everyone knows each other (in a creepy way) and no flowers grow because otherwise Portola Valley wouldn't be an ugly shithole, which it undoubtably is. Being an Athertonian is sometimes annoying, as telling people that you are from Atherton puts you prone to constant mooching. In summary, Atherton is much nicer than where you live. The End.
Portola Valley is like Atherton, except with pretentious, genetically inferior scum. And no plants.
Atherton is where Laguna Beach should be shot, because one Athertonian man from South Atherton could buy both the city of Laguna Beach, and all the cast members from the show. And they would still have enough to buy Haiti.

Get the Atherton mug.1.) We are just normal people trying to live our lives.
2.) An atheist, contrary to seemingly popular belief, is a relatively normal person.
The atheist simply believes that there is/are no God/gods. Generally, atheists don't consider themselves to be smarter than all theists. You could say that atheism is taking the Christian practice of not recognizing such beliefs as Paganism one step further in not recognizing any religion. Atheists also tend to be more tolerant, and usually do not proselytize. Atheism is not a "belief," it is a lack of any belief and does not function as a religion would, in that the amount of atheists holds no significance.
The atheist is characterized as explaining that the Big Bang was the beginning of everything around us, but not able to explain how it came about. The Christian is characterized as then pointing out the necessicity of a God for such an act. This is where atheists differ from theists.
Atheists, for the most part, believe that the initial "ingredients" for today's universe have always been present, since it is impossible to create something from nothing. Yes, it is true that no one knows how this came to be, but then again, how can we start to understand something so incredibly complex in its nature when the necessary technology have only just come into exisitence in the last century? It will be an ongoing struggle in the following years to finally understand this phenomenon. We just don't insert God into the equation.

Get the Atheist mug.Athens, Georgia is home to the University of Georgia where the Georgia Bulldog's play their home game. On Saturdays when the Georgia Bulldog football team plays in georgia you will be swarmed with the color red. If you're not wearing red, you will get bad service and probably cussed out if you p. o. someone. There's a section for aristocrats, middle class, and poor people in Athens. Also, there's a lot of tan, fit women that walk around in very atractive clothing.
Man, I wanna go to Athens right now to see the football game, but I live in Atlanta. And in Atlanta there's only the suck Georgia Tech team to watch. That isn't much fun.

Get the athens mug.According to Christians, all atheists are dumb, attack christians, and worship satan
In reality, not all atheists attack religious people, and they can be smart, and they don't choose to worship anything. Its more like the Christians attacking the atheists. they are normal people like you and me.
I have many atheist friends, and they respect what i believe

Get the Atheist mug.Anti-religious philosophy that can be divided into two primary factions:
1. Healthy Atheists. These people simply don't follow any particular religious faith and generally don't concern themselves with attempting to prove to the religious that nonbelief is the way to go.
2. Militant Atheists. These are the guys that take Atheism and turn it into a zealous religion that is focused almost entirely on defaming, badmouthing, and attempting to disprove most or all religious faiths, although in many cases the individual Militant Atheist will focus only on one particular religion to direct their stream of hate at. They appear to be roughly as populous as fundamentalist Christians are on the Internet, and it appears that these two groups imagine themselves to be in mortal combat with one another, judging by some of the crap found on their sites.

Many Atheists don't appear to disbelieve in God so much as they appear to wish agonizing death upon Him and His followers.

Get the Atheism mug.That moment when an "Atheist" (used in quotations, will explain later as to why it is) says this one liner and all of a sudden they expect the world around them to change because they feel that this one line is groundbreaking news that everyone NEEDS to know. Generally, this line is used out of absolutely nowhere, but many times it is used to be provocative.
Typically, if this statement is used in an argumentative context, the "wannabe atheists" who are condescending in nature tend to have a list of scientific facts ready to use however they wield nothing more than an elementary school biology, physics and chemistry education.
REAL Atheists do not use this common line because they know they are not religious, they do not care for religion and they don't want to waste time arguing about religion. Point being, if you use this line and claim to be atheist, you aren't. You're no better than an extremist. Please re-evaluate your provocative nature and stop using "I'm an Atheist" you give a bad name to the REAL atheist community who truly does not care one bit about religion.
