Religion drives me crazy!
Has anyone here become more against religion over time? Before religion didn't really bother me, but whenever I see something religious now it pisses me off. If I found a bible, cross or some other religious figure I would probably end up burning it.

What I find scary is the threat of a nuclear war (WW3) breaking out in the Middle East. If this great war breaks out, it originated from religious hostility between Iran and Israel, which have been enemies since 1979 thanks to bastard Ruhollah Khomeini of Iran. He declared Israel an enemy of Islam but before he became leader of the 1979 Iranian Revoluton the two countries had close ties. Retarded isn't it? Make Isreal an enemy so the Middle East is more unstable. Iran does no good to the world besides making people laugh at the dirty camel monkeys.

Who put Ruhollah Khomeini in Iran?
Thank America's CIA. Thank President Eisenhower (who in 1953 reversed President Truman's decision and told the CIA to go ahead and overthrow an elected government in Iran). Thank Great Britain's Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (for wanting Iranian oil but not wanting to pay Iran a reasonable royalty, and for treating its Iranian workers like serfs). Thank the American Dulles brothers and especially Kermit Roosevelt. And of course, thank American taxpayers who paid for the overthrow, training the tyrant's secret police, and more.
After about twenty years of that tyranny, the Iranian people overthrew the tyrant the CIA had installed. Khomeini returned from Paris and formed the religious government we know.
For more info, search Wikipedia for key words like CIA in Iran, 1953 overthrow in Iran, etc.
Thank the US of A for Khomeini.
It's no stretch to see 9/11 as payback for America's Middle East foreign policy.
Oh, religion irritates me a whole lot.

Dustin, my father was in the military (59th Ord. brigade). His job was to guard weapons of mass destruction. People have the misconception that nukes are the ultimate endgame. It is not!!! I asked my father what is worse, nukes or biological and without blinking he said biological!! If there is an all out attack on the U.S. (biological) 85% is dead outright. The weapon has a second component that is 95% lethal! This technology has been around since the 70's. Can you imagine the technology today? Throw radical ahols (pick any religion) into the mix and this is what scares the s**t out of me!!!!

I never said nukes are the ultimate end game. Nuclear weapons are still deadly either way.

Absolutely! I watched Leon Panettas' farewell speech that was about threats to national security. Check it out if you have time. You won't be disappointed!!! Scary S**T!

I guess some would call it "anti-religious talk" and I suppose there are a lot of negative descriptors. However if I describe events as accurately and concretely as I can muster and my rationale for my descriptions, that is not anti-religion, it is speaking of the world as I see it. I don't think anything anyone has written on this site has written any untruths. IMHO. If I write an untruth, I expect to be challenged and appreciate the reminder that I may have gone over the line.
I especially want confrontations when I handle religion in ways that Ruth calls "poo", fecal matter, a virus, a meme that passes along religious themes. Relying on my old teaching days, I will give anyone a sticker for catching me in such an error.

I was raised without religion, and it really didn't bother me when I was young. Now that I'm 45 it pisses me the hell off. My social-life has suffered greatly, but frankly my dear, I don't give a damn... lol

Do you feel that you were trained how to cope with the world that is mostly religous? Since you were raised without religion and I was raised with it I am wondering if we may feel the same despite the difference. I feel very unskilled in someways on how to cope and make the best of a stinky situation:)

I think I was, and still am flabbergasted by what people believe. I used to just not talk about it with them, but now, in the right circumstances, I say what I think! It has cost me some friendships, but I'm okay with that now. I won't purposely make friends now with religious people or right-wingers, because I know where that is going to lead. I'm friendly, but I don't try and make it be a true friendship.

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…
