American atheists lined up to be \"de-baptized\" in a ritual using a hair dryer, according to a report Friday on U.S. late-night news program \"Nightline.\"
Leading atheist Edwin Kagin blasted his fellow non-believers with the hair dryer to symbolically dry up the holy water sprinkled on their heads in days past. The styling tool was emblazoned with a label reading \"Reason and Truth.\"
LOL now this is funny stuff. I mean if your an athiest and you dont believe in God then why worry about the holy water.
apparently God has a sense of humor also
Ironically, Kagin's own son became a fundamentalist Christian minister after having \"a personal revelation in Jesus Christ.\"

it's supposed to be a satirization of the inherant ridiculousness of the human love for ritual

I still find it amusing that there is even a group based on a the belief that something does not exist. I can see groups based on the beliefs of an alternative option (i.e. \"I don't believe that, I believe XYZ\"), but not in the belief that something does not exist (i.e. \"I don't believe that, I believe that what you believe is wrong\")

I believe that the cake is a lie.
It is kinda of ironic, though, that athiests are performing rituals. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

That's what too much exposure to organized religion will do to them

There's nothing wrong with rituals in themselves. In fact, they can be a lot of fun. It's just that, especially in the case of religion, when you place too much value on them, more value on the rituals themselves rather than the things the rituals are supposed to represent, then the damage is done.

Very true. And a problem that is brought up multiple times in the Bible.
