Welcome Bill!

Looking forward to your input here on the forum!
Welcome. I'm sure I have some subtle freedoms to thank you for - O pioneer!
Major social changes take a long time to come to fruition. It is hard for younger people to visualize how it was for us, both Gay and Atheist just a short time ago. I can remember when Gay bars (in chicago) were all owned by Police officers and tucked away behind another bar with the entry way in the alley. We could not have dreamed of the possibility of having a Gay Parade, or not being terrified of anyone finding out.
Atheists have seemingly just begun this long climb to acceptance in a similar way. But we have the advantage of having the 4 Horsemen as our spokesmen. We had M.M. Ohare who was vilified in the press, spoken of as a Devil on radio and generally hated by all. Today Dennet, Dawkins, Harris and Hitchens carry the flag to new heights, not believed a decade or two ago. I proudly wear my Dawkins Tee Shirt and dare anyone to make a negative comment on it. You have never seen a rabid senior citizen go to work. :)
Hi Kid, I am still puzzling how my getting the Federal Rights of marriage will destroy Rev. Felps's blissful marriage. By the way how does he know, in detail, how Gay sex is performed, Doth he protest too much. :)
Welcome to A/N!
Ryan, thanks you for the welcome, I like most of us, i guess, have joined about a zillion interesting sites. It is hard to keep up with what, and where, I missed a comment, but promise to try to keep up. The fact that someone kind, like you, reads and responds, makes me put a star on this one to be sure to come back often....thanks Ryan....bill

Hello fellow atheists!  I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor. 

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…

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…
