This article addresses the economic reasons why atheism in certain countries may flourish compared to religion. Though they cite statistics, I wonder if this really would be the case in America,…Continue

Is it time to have a TV channel that produces news reports and analysis that argues the atheist point of view? Wouldn't it be cool to watch documentary of how our lives are evolving as secularist? …Continue

Comment by Paula T. on May 13, 2012 at 10:07pm: It IS totally different when you are looking in from the outside, after being a part of the religion. I admit that I haven't read the bible, but I am currently reading the Brick Testament. I assume this 'version' makes fun of the buybull in many ways, but all I keep thinking is "If someone tried to publish this today, it would never happen!" It is so bad! What ridiculous stories that make NO sense, whatsoever. Talk about holes in the plot and inconsistencies!

Comment by sk8eycat on May 13, 2012 at 9:29pm: The arrogance of xians...that was something I didn't notice till I started looking at it from the outside. Plane crash survivor: "Gawd was looking after me (but not the other passengers; they all died).

Or, when a woman's granddaughter was murdered, "Gawd is testing my faith (because I'm important)." Why would an all-knowing super-being need to test anything? She/he/it would already know what's going to happen.

I'm still embarrassed that I used to believe all that crap. Reading the buybull from cover to cover (twice!) was the last straw for me.

Comment by Steph S. on May 13, 2012 at 8:20pm: Right you are Paula! God's plan is not moral. Just read the bible .. I did It helped me become an Atheist.

Comment by Paula T. on May 13, 2012 at 7:06pm: No one stops to think about the morality of gawd's plan...or more precisely, the immorality. "he can do what he want's cuz he's god!" I call BS. Would any one of us cause the type of wounds the woman in the article had endured for any type of plan? nah, because we are better than their fake loving, omnipotent deity.

Comment by David W on May 13, 2012 at 6:15pm: Sad story. Just another example of how prayer obviously works and how god clearly favors her. No mention of science or technology or skilled physicians that helped god out.

Comment by sk8eycat on May 13, 2012 at 12:47pm: Heh! They might try Shakespeare, or other literary sources. That would be fun. Or maybe some quotes from entertainment celebs....such as George Carlin: "God LOVES you! And He needs MONEY!"

I'm fond of Robert A. Heinlein: Make up your own mind. Before you do that, think it through. Before thinking about it, get the facts.

Comment by Sarah Walton on May 13, 2012 at 9:28am: So people are making up plaques to cover over the verses with quotes from other religious texts, right? Right?

Comment by sk8eycat on May 12, 2012 at 11:09pm: Maybe they're afraid the boogey-man will get them if they remove the magic spells.

I think that's the way they feel about putting IGWT on our money, and adding the "undergod" to the Pledge of Allegiance spell.

Comment by Paula T. on May 12, 2012 at 9:32pm: I don't know why but the number of people who don't understand "it's against the law for government to endorse any religion" still amazes me. This is not a theocracy and shouldn't act like one. As others have said, ifa verse from the Koran replaced the buy-bull verse, they would be up in arms demanding the removal of the signs. Hypocrites.
