We do have everything to live for.

I don't get #5.. will think about it all day. I'm sure it'll hit me eventually.

But # 1 is just Stephen Robert's great quote... less succinct:

"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours"

All these memes are Ricky Gervais, which means that we can't just pick our favorite atheist! No matter, I will find one to vote for. But it will not be easy.

...there have been weeks where, while I'm selecting the images, I think to myself "these are weak " or "not a great set " but when I post the set they get a ton of votes & discussion . Then there are other weeks where I am really happy with the selected set of images but when I post them they get few comments and few votes .

So, thanks for all the positive feed back (you are more than welcome) and I will continue on as best I can for as long as everyone is generally happy with the exercise.

..."whipping", I prefer "beating".

I am more familiar with the phrase referring to beating the depicted object vs whipping said object.

One does not "whip a carpet", one ....(inaudible for politeness)

Plus the allusion, that is conveyed by the multiple uses of the verb "beat" (i.e. to strike vs triumph over) is apropos.

I like it cause it's so common to talk about, say, a church and suddenly you're forced to say over and over that you don't hate Christians. So annoying, like can we stay on topic?
