Stephen Colbert disses religion

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/02/26/1189892/-MUST-SEE-Stephen-...

i was just catching up on my dvr when i saw this.  checked the net and was glad i could find the transcript.   this is what got my attention:

But even if Barton did borrow the story, there's nothing wrong with taking a story from a book and saying it's real.  (Works for Religion)  (shocked audience reaction turns to cheering and applause)

how awesome was that?  either someone on his staff is an atheist or he is himself.  i know he's a professed catholic but he's also a professed republican.  what do you think?

We watch him all the time!  The professed republicon is SO not who he is.  He is in character on his show.  I have heard that he teaches Sunday school in real life, although that may not be true.  He is AWESOME.  If he is religious, it is in a VERY liberal, accepting way.  I wish I knew.  His character is hysterical though.  I love when he tries not to laugh at the outrageous things he says. :)

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day.  however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more.  in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 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…
