National Day of Reason, May 3 2012

Posted on May 2, 2012 at 5:01pm 3 Comments

I'll be attending the NDOR events in Raleigh, NC with some of my friends from our local Coalition of Reason group in the Piedmont Triad, NC. Greta Christina, Dan Barker, Todd Stiefel and more will be there.



For any reading this who feel that they are the "only non-believer I know", they should check to see what events will be taking place in their home towns, or within reasonable distances (hint -> we share rides, if you have the time, this doesn't have to drain your wallet).



Some of you may know "believers" who don't buy into the revisionist co-opting of the Establishment Clause, by Christian Fundamentalists, be they Christians themselves or Jews, Muslims, Hindu, Buddhist, etc religious adherents who understand the true intent of the Founding Fathers' inclusion of this most basic and important secular and pluralist protection of every single "We the People", regardless of faith or lack thereof, in the Bill of Rights that was the inspiration for all modern secular nations today.



Many of us recognize that there is now a culture war between those who want to drag the US back to the theocratic oppression that inspired the Revolution, and those of us aware of the secular ideals of the Age of Enlightenment/Age of Reason that birthed the Constitution (that the National Day of Prayer mocks with impunity and complacency both).



Help us drag the US back from Iron-Age ideologies to where it belongs, the 21st Century!

“How gullible are you? Is your gullibility located in some "gullibility center" in your brain? Could a neurosurgeon reach in and perform some delicate operation to lower your gullibility, otherwise leaving you alone? If you believe this, you are pretty gullible, and should perhaps consider such an operation.”
~ Douglas R. Hofstadter

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
