“No God” #1 trending topic on Twitter

In a classic case of irony, Christians tried to get the statement “No God, No Peace. Know God, Know Peace” to trend today on Twitter.

The result of this effort was the phrase “No God” became the #1 trending topic.

Please understand that atheists have been trying for months to get an atheist related topic to trend and this one was gifted to us.

“God” must be looking out for us   Of course, I should note that the phrase really should be “Know God.  No Peace.  No God.  Know Peace.”

Updates:

• The originator of the initial tweet is reported to be @RevRunWisdom.  Thanks Rev Run!!!!!

• We are officially declaring Oct 20th as “No God Day!” We’ll celebrate again next year.

• In an apparent attempt to slow the increase traffic to Twitter (lots of the “fail whale” page today). after trending all day as #1, the “No God” hashtag was removed from the trending topic list even though my tests show that it’s still the #1 trending topic.  Then as a part of the cover-up, Twitter listed “no god” as being synonymous with “Know God” and displayed it as “Know God.”  Of course, this is backfiring as there are now new cries of “CENSORSHIP!!!!”

• We were quoted in the Washington Post
