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

You've got that right Susan!

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.

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 1 Comment

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…
