JesusWeen Time again!
Seems kind of blasphemous to me, but then I'm not a christian. What next, Jesusburgers, Jesusmobiles, JesusDay?
Makes me want to give out atheist tracts with the little obesity-producing cavity-generating candy bars.

Let's hope few Travelers stop there to rest! :)
I grew up Baptist. Every Sunday was Judgement House in one form or another. And every wednesday. There was much to judge, with much of the church showing up hung over. But that's not who was being judged.....

One time my bff put about a dozen condoms in my large candy bucket and I handed out a few before I noticed. Of course, then I just kept handing them out with the candy.

via buzzfeed.... official candies of jesusween.... I never know whether stuff on the web is real.
The comments on that buzzfeed link.... some of the comments are hilarious - Nexus is so civil in comparison!
"I'm just gonna say that I think its negative for you to use the word idiotic."
"you're just being a self-righteous moron"
and this one.....
"This reminds me of when I was a kid and there was this house that gave out pamphlets with a picture of Jesus and the cheapest sucker possible taped inside with the words ONLY A SUCKER DOESN'T BELIEVE IN JESUS! DON'T BE A SUCKER! The moral I took from this was that Evangelical Christians were cheap, rude, smug, and overweeningly pleased with what they considered their own cleverness, even when it was embarrassingly lame."

Harry Potter has a lot to answer for keeping original idea of Halloween alive and kicking. Think about it there was nothing before except fairy tales kids grew out of by 5 yrs old say. This Jesusween has their work cut out
Encouraging was an interview I saw with A.K Rowling asked about why no overlap in her books. She said religion and fantasy were seperate compartments whilst positing no opinion on religion.
This fad will never snowball. Will any theist kid expectant and excitededly costumed on the doorstep EVER FORGIVE. ? Bible as a trick to spirit away the spirit of Halloween = less candy and fun..Lemme know of the campaign to put a religious insinuation in Harry Potter books. Hey it's out there if Jesusween is

There is a huge market for Christian-branded merchandise, reported in Reason a few years ago. You can get a porcelain statue of Jesus helping someone with his golf swing. Another place to find Jesus merged with pagan gods -- Haiti.
Every year Halloween seems weirder to me...

If Halloween gets weirder, it's only because of the attempted christian influence.

If that's not blasphemy, what is?

This is such a good example of what cracks me up about religious people. They so earnestly come up with ways to express their faith, but they don't have the slightest idea about the implications of the outcome. Their naivety really is astounding.

Right...and thanks to S/B for the pic. So why is this not blasphemy? As long as you don't say anything bad about their Savior, associate him with sex/sin (you don't find Jesus-branded condoms - I don't think), or imply that the story is untrue, it seems anything goes.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad
Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 0 Comments 1 Like
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 0 Likes
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…

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
