Amazing and creepy picture

I found this picture on one of the social sites - I can't remember which. Anyone know who to attribute it to? It's one of the best (and creepiest) illustrations of faith and children I've come across.

Great graphic!

Imagine how easily the book can be replaced by any other system of thought or values then cringe.

I know it's the flu talking, but all I can think is, I wonder if the mind could adapt to the eyes being re-arranged one above the other, and still manage to correct for perspective on the fly.

... I think I know now why I'm atheist... I ask too many damn questions.

Actually Johnsky, I thought the same thing while also thinking that's part of the beauty of the picture. The way religion not only closes in and smushes your brain but skews the very way you see things.

This cartoon needs to be a painting in a museum.

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

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…
