Join me tonight in a toast to Hitchens

I'm not going to say much other than he will be missed but not forgotten. 

 

So tonight, somewhere in Denver I'll be raising a glass in his name.  If you are in the area, join me (location TBD).  If not, do it where you live. 

 

In God I do not trust.

I'll be doing the same here in Cleveland.  Likely, I'll be raising a single malt, probably the Quinta Ruban Glenmorangie, toasting a damned good man, gone from us, but living on in his powerful words.

I'm not a whiskey or scotch person but I think a strong gin and tonic will do.

Hitch was always true to himself.  If gin and tonic are what work for you, raise your glass!

It'll be rum here.  I'll be silently toasting his life at 6:00 p.m. central time, if anyone cares to join me  - irrespective of where you're at or the time zone you're in.

same in Philadelphia.  tonite, i splurge on a nice single malt.  i haven't had the occassion in a while, but it seems fitting.  i'm a scotch guy who's moved to bourbon for economic reasons.  not tonite...

Already had wine and gluhwein. Next up: a Winter bock and an Obstler schnaps.

No single malt in at the moment. To be honest I was never a fan of Hitch's tipple, ie,  blend, unless it's Irish.

Had no idea there were premium schnapps.  After some G&T I'll probably have a little schnapps here at home.  It's cold out, have to keep warm.

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:33am 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…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 7 Comments

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…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.

I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

anti-atheist rant from an Orthodox Mormon part 2

What do you think of this,

 

Nathan Young,

 

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it.  The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs.  I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance.  The letter was a mockery of atheism.  Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
