Petition makes it to forty-six signatures (sigh)
Well, it doesn't look like my petition on the White House petition site is going to gain any traction.
Perhaps that's why the Democrats say they do not view the non-religious as a constituency. The act of signing a petition which simply asks the administration to acknowledge our existence and our freedoms as guaranteed in the Constitution is apparently too much.
Yes, I am disappointed. The petition will drop dead on January 10 if it doesn't get twenty-five thousand signatures. It needs one hundred fifty to become visible on the Website. I have spread it as far as I can on my own.
Apparently there are only forty-six people out of three hundred million that care about this issue. No wonder no politician will address our issues.

Well, being out here on the High Plains two kilometers from civilisation doesn't help much in the stumping for rights bit. The tumbleweeds aren't interested in my diatribes.
Unless I can parlay my political career as a village trustee into taking over one of the political parties, I doubt I can do much there either.

Do you suppose Nebraska is ripe for a coup d'etat? No, I didn't think so, either! [chuckle!]

Maybe that is why there are only forty-six signatures. Perhaps this link will help.

This link worked. Have you tried communicating with the organizations listed near the top of the Atheist Nexus site? Getting a few of them behind you could make a difference.

I just cant believe that even after becoming the first president in history to recognize atheists as citizens, Obama just alienates us. Lets face it, religion is just too deeply ingrained into mainstream America.

Religion is an in-group matter. It brings people together like just about nothing else. There's a reason we say "God and Country". And if you want to unite people to your bull shit cause, make it god's cause, and the sheeple will follow.
EDIT: Just signed this. Took less than 100 seconds, INCLUDING time spent signing up for an account at their site. I think we should really be pushing this one. If you are on this thread and haven't signed yet, please do! And ask all your friends to do so as well!

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…
