Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.

Second annual international protest against hereditary religion coming soon
The custom of forcing faith on vulnerable children is an affront to our notion of fairness and is simply a holdover from archaic ideas of patriarchy supported by institutional religions as a way of gaining or maintaining control of family life. There are many legal experts that now advocate changing the whole notion of parental prerogatives. Children are most certainly not the property of their parents to do with as they wish. Moreover, international law now recognizes children as person's in their own rights with legitimate interests and rights of their own that may indeed conflict with the wishes of their parents. The first step in overthrowing hereditary religion must start where all revolutionary social change starts: raising consciousness. Parents are the controlling vector for the practice of forcing faith on children and those most open to change are those wounded by the way religion treated them as a child. The web has hundreds of self help sites where such apostates pour their hearts out in poignant personal narratives. Fear is an obnoxious form of control and fear is at the center of religious hegemony.
American atheists and humanists may feel a greater sense of urgency on this issue than others. The blog Ending Hereditary Religion contains content that may surprise you.

The annual protest will be held again this year in cyberspace but the goal is to eventually hold events in the real world. If I somehow overlooked sending you an event announcement here are the details for this years event.

Your participation will help make this event a historic happening on the road to a universal secular world.

Dennis Michael Pennington commented on blue pashmina's blog post Not believing in an afterlife does not mean i am a "sad' person."Living forever is not what it's cracked up to be. I'm not sad, but I do get tired more often. Imagine how sad and tired you would be after a few hundred years of singing praises and hosannas with God. Maybe it wouldn't even take that…"

Dennis Michael Pennington commented on Wyatt's blog post Theists, Cargo Cults, and Logic"I agree with Two Cult Survivor. The theist already knows that he is correct, and he has the evidence, the Holy Bible - the "word of God." The theist puts it on YOU to show evidence that God is non-existent and he walks around talking to…"
