Jupiter is an entirely respectable God. There is just as much proof of His existence as that of any other God, so why are there so many conservative atheists? This smells of rank bigotry.
Jupiter is renowned for the power of His lightning bolts. OK, so He played around with a few nymphs and maybe an animal or two. But, hey! Nobody’s perfect! What about Bush in college?
At least, Jupiter was married and had a Holy Family. We have proof that he wasn't gay. That should count for something with conservative atheists.
And he raised not One, but several Children, all of Whom took their place in the Heavens. Doesn't a large family count with conservative atheists?
And Jupiter remained with His wife, Juno, in spite of Her constant scolding about little peccadilloes. That should also appeal to conservatives.
This is a nation in which no religion is persecuted. We should stop this discrimination.
You conservative atheists are just bigoted hypocrites. Shame on you!

A conservative atheist is a person who votes for Bush and doesn't believe in the existence of Jupiter. Think about it for a little while. Eventually, it will make sense.

Wrong! There is no reason at all why an individual cannot pick and choose which god he/she will accept and which they will dismiss.
Some people believe in Jehovah and deny the existence of Jupiter. With Cicero, it was the other way around. And he could write books!

Are you a Jupiter atheist or not? That was the only question. Why can't people understand a question and answer it?

That makes as much sense as saying that a believer must believe in all supernatural entities, known or unknown.
So, give me a reason for not believing in Jupiter. What proof do you have that Jupiter does not exist?

I'm talking logic! You didn't answer the question. Either swim or get out of the pool.

Jupiter was falsely accused of having an affair with Ganymede, but denied it entirely saying, "I am not gay! I was never gay!". There is no record of any guilty plea.
The truth is that he wanted a good looking boy as a cub bearer. A girl would distract from serious concentration on the wine and an ugly boy would spoil the appetite.
Furthermore, for your information, "smarty", it was Minos, the Cretan, who ravished poor Ganymede. Check Wikipedia or Britannica.
Shame on you for slandering a god!

Not only the Sun, but the Son of Jupiter, this one having a resurrection every morning!
Actually, more people worship Apollo than all the other gods put together. The state of Florida is dedicated to Him.
Give me that really Old Time Religion!

Atheists dismiss all gods equally (and some people.)
EDIT:
"Wrong! There is no reason at all why an individual cannot pick and choose which god he/she will accept and which they will dismiss."
Atheists, by definition, are not allowed to believe in gods. That's a great reason. So there!

Since the time of Cicero, we have learned that Jupiter is composed primarily of gaseous material - while this may attract conservatives, it should repel most thinking atheists.

I believe that the best God was the SUN GOD.
What more powerful and obvious life giving force could there be, and you can see it every day.
Now we are stuck with these insidious Gods that hide themselves and creep around the inside of your head and mind, examining every thought for purity.
Ugh. Let me just lift my head up to the Sun, and I will be happy.

Isn't conservative Atheist an oxymoron?

"We have proof that he wasn't gay".
Oh, so? And the affair with Ganymedes?

Jupiter was bi-sexual.
