“We need to broaden our outreach to fertilized eggs. At least 50% of naturally conceived fertilized eggs don’t implant – that’s half of humanity!

“To the end of saving these souls, we shall institute a weekly baptismal ceremony for the unborn, and require regular attendance of all married or fornicating premenopausal women the Sunday before their monthly flow starts.”
(Mercredi)

“Yes, I’m a Catholic, and bears, well, yeah, they do.”
Congratulations to the winners! The top three will be receiving specially-made Friendly Atheist wristbands (in the color of their choice), sent to me by blog reader Shauna and her sister Danni!
…
If you’d like to win your own wristband, here is the new contest:
What newspaper headline would atheists most like to read?
(The idea comes from this post, from a blog for Indian-Americans. Check it out for sample headlines.)
Funny and creative answers will have a shot at winning.
Good luck!
