I wouldn't have any friends if I hated people who have religion in their life.

As a former minister who is still married to a (very liberal) minister I appreciate this group. For the past two winters I was the director of an interfaith rotating homeless shelter working closely with people of many backgrounds. I write about my emergence from faith and remaining connections to the community in my book, Life After Faith. Thanks for the discussions.

I don't hate religious people or religion. I may think it's silly, but a lot of things are silly.

@ Fred Werther:
Actually, I am very critical of Alternative medicine -- and since I am a former Acupuncturist and Homeopath, I know from whence I speak. But you are right I do see meditation techniques as very useful and science experiments have bore this out. However, meditative religious traditions are indeed as full of self-delusions as the rest.
Nuance & Complexity -- it is easy to make simple judgements, but they are rarely correct.

Just out of curiosity, how good is acupuncture or other alternative methods at managing chronic pain? I have some family members with chronic pain who do not like to rely on pain meds.

Death of a family member
Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 7 Comments 1 Like
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!!!!!!!!

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…
