Midwest Politics: Rape Pregnancy God's "Gift"
On the eve of the election, another batshit crazy politician has addressed the issue of rape. And no, it's not Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin from Missouri.
This time, it's in the Great State of Indiana. US Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, in a televised debate against his opponent Joe Donnelly, talked about abortion. According to Mourdock, if a woman gets pregnant due to rape, that's something "God intended."
I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.
After a rousing endorsement from the presidential candidate leading his ticket, the head of the ticket quickly tried to distance himself from Mourdock stating "they do not reflect his [presidential candidate's] views."
WOW! The head of the ticket really took Mourdock to task with that one. (note extreme sarcasm here). Try and guess which party. Here's a hint. Lipton put's it in conveniet single servings.

I wonder how well Mourdock takes it up his nelly ... and how he would feel if he could become pregnant. This is the republican party in a nutshell - a complete lack of empathy.

Death of a family member

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…

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…

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…

What do you think of this Facebook comment?
Nathan Young to Jason Torpy,
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…
