How wonderfully enlightened. While we're at it, let's close the hospitals in favor of homeopathy centers and go back to phlogiston chemistry rather than current chemical theory, shall we?
Damn ... how utterly, absolutely, damned near irrevocably asinine can you get? [Answer: exceptionally damned asinine!]

Permalink Reply by Dennis Michael Pennington on February 26, 2013 at 6:56am What a nice step backwards. Why is it that nobody can just admit that "we don't know?" Instead we believe the ancient writings of tribesmen and the chronological dates applied by Bishop Usher, who even tells you the exact time and day that God created the world. Evangelicals may reject that because they are not Catholic, but they suck up all the rest of it. Weather changes and faster communications seem for many to be "proof" that the world is coming to an end. The Buybull book of Revelation means for many "we are waiting for the nukes" when the reality of it was simply the subverting of their gospel by the "greatest apostle of all." Even the word "gospel" is taken by the masses to mean "truth" when it simply meant "good news." Biblia Sacra is greatly flawed and the gullible wants you to measure everything that is by it. (I don't believe this or that thing because it is not mentioned in the Buybull.) How utterly stupid! Recently I told my religious friend from childhood about a dream I had. His answer was that in the "last days" the Buybull says that old men will have dreams. Really, I asked. I wonder how long this has been going on? I'm wondering when we get out the bones and animal entrails?

Old men will have dreams. Heh. Does he not see how insanely weak that is?

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…

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…

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…
