Sally Morrow reports on a volleyball tournament pitting atheists versus Christians in Kansas City to raise money for charity and to increase dialogue and understanding between the two groups.
Of course we play volleyball. (Preferably on beaches.). You never got the memo?
Mano Singhamsays
Nobody tells me anything.
Francisco Bacopasays
Beach volleyball is so West Coast. I was shocked the first time I ever got into the Pacific Ocean in California. That thing is too damn cold! No wonder you play volleyball. The Gulf of Mexico is warmer in the winter than your Pacific in the summer. No wonder y’all play volleyball instead of swimming.
Although I have to say, the Northwest isn’t that much better — I was in the ocean yesterday (and there were people playing volleyball) outside of Boston, and it was chilly. But with the upwelling off the west coast, the water’s almost always in the 50s.
(A warning to KC atheists, though: Bible Belt Baptists tend to be pretty good at volleyball, softball and roller skating. If you want an edge, challenge ‘em to a pool tournament.)
Reginald Selkirk says
I’m an atheist and I play volleyball.

Gregory in Seattle says
We can knit and cook, too!

Who won?
Physicalist says
True. Or pull on a wetsuit to surf.
