American Freethought is the best podcast out there.  I listen to every episode.

Hi, guys.

Regarding your interview with Matthew Bowman and his book on Mormon history (Episode 149. April 3, 2012):

Mr. Bowman’s characterization of the Mormon church as backing off from its stance opposing same-sex marriage is either naïve, window dressing, or an outright lie. Here is a description of their organized effort to repeal Maryland’s new marriage law:

Suicide among gay Mormons is at an epidemic level, a sobering statistic that can be traced to the church’s vehement opposition to full acceptance of gay men and lesbians. Their enforcement of restrictive, dehumanizing morals deserves a spotlight, not a whitewash.

While I understand the wish to interview someone like Mr. Bowman to gain some insight into a weird religion, I wished several times you had called, “foul!” on his effrontery in defense of falsehood.

Keith, sorry I haven't responded sooner, but I've been crazy busy (I know, that's my perennial excuse, but it's still true!).

 

While I sympathize your desire to lay down common-sense ground rules when entering into reasoned debate, I seriously doubt you'll ever get a religious opponent to sit still long enough to listen to the rules, much less agree to them.  Sad but true.  :(

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.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 2 Comments

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

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

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…
