Pope overtake my local news stations.

I watch local news regularly each night.  I can't help but laugh every time I watch the clips about Pope's death, resignation, conclave, election, white smoke chimney, red shoes, brown shoes,  ( I have no idea what is Pope mean? That guy is just an old man like everyone.  I don't understand and don't want to learn anything nonsense religious like that. I have enough with that crap. I just could not believe this. Sorry for the rant just needed to get it off my chest.

I understand your rant. I couldn't escape it yesterday - radio, tv. Do all of the catholic followers really listen to what the pope says? Atleast i didn't get asked "what do you think about the new pope?" Maybe today.

Yep - the pope was on all day yesterday - live broadcasts and everything.

just heard that he doesn't believe in evolution. Did the last pope believe in evolution? I thought catholics, for the most part, have accepted it. So, I guess we have catholics who believe, and those who don't. What a mess.

My first post, and I find my posts come up empty and blank if I use Firefox and Mac OS! Anyhoo, here goes again:

I watched it yesterday early evening and most of the time I was completely bemused by the crowd in the square. They were cheering, happy, waving, viva-il-papping, yet they knew absolutely nothing about the man chosen for the ruby slippers; nothing about his views or opinions or where he's going to take their Idiot Superstitions Club in future.

I seriously think most atheists are simply not equipped with the machinery of blind faith - I simply could not understand what they were getting so excited about and couldn't help thinking, "if that were me I'd be a little apprehensive in case they choose someone who turns out to be a right twat..."

I know most of you probably have seen this, but it still makes me laugh out loud every time...

Yep, that worked with Safari. Anyone else have this trouble?

Some sites are unbearably slow with Safari (and the terrible internet connection I have here) because they load so much external stuff - sadly this is one of them, so I'd much rather use my regular browser.

Media shows what public is intrested to see. It means there are a lot of religious fellows in your locality.

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!!!!!!!!

Posted by Christy Stewart on May 20, 2013 at 2:17pm 6 Comments

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…
