15th February 2008: A 14 years old girl stoned to death by her father. When the father found out about his 14 years old daughter's relationship with a boy, he took her daughter to the mountains and killed her by stoning and then shooting her four times. "She was screaming and begging for her life, but I had to save my honor and didn’t have any other choice than killing her...." - Father.

14th July 2008: Iranians are considering mandatory execution for apostasy.

Iran is one of the few theocracies of the world, execution for apostasy is supported by all of the major Islam schools. Is this the result of a theocracy? When state and religion becomes one. The first news-story i referred to isn't relevant, but I feelt it was worth mentioning so people can see how far this can go for some people.

I don't understand how you can live with the guilt killing your own child and put it above the guilt of having a morally "tainted" family. What's worse is that I don't understand why only GIRLS are not allowed to have a relationship of their own, but men do.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

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.

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…

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…
