Looks like it is on again this year as well.
Will you avoid the shopping?

I don't do holiday shopping or gift exchanges. My husband and I don't exchange gifts, but will sometimes bring home little gifts when we see something the other one might like. I already sent my mother a gift that I bought online so I'm done for the year. Material goods don't show love. My husband makes me feel loved every day of the year....no piece of jewelry is worth more than that!

Next time you hear a Christian refer to the Jewish zombie as the "Reason for the Season," you might want to mention the frenzied greed as exhibited by mobs pouring through Costco and WalMart for useless crap. This, to me, is the current reason for the season - guilting the rubes to spend their hard earned dough on needless junk so the company can close out their fiscal year in the black. The merchants will keep pushing this idiocy until Christmas sales start on July 5th.

Right Pat. Next year they might start Black "Friday" on Wednesday.
I've heard that "Reason for the Season" crap and it irks me. We know that materialism in the true reason for the season.
It's all about getting you to spend more money.

I guess I'm still a stodgy old engineer. Here I thought the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth on its rotational axis was the "reason for the season."
Silly me. -

I have a friend I work with, a nurse, who is planning for Black Thursday/Friday like Ike planned the D-Day invasion. She goes on endlessly about it, actually trading days, even a few hours off so she can hit this store at such a time, that store another. Is travelling up to 75 miles for one place. Having an abreviated dinner with her family, sending her eldest daughter and son to different stores to stay in line for her. She is carrying all the circulars with her, pulling them out when she gets a free moment to plan some more. We all look at her like 'wtf ?' but she just plows ahead. Unbelievable.

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

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

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 0 Likes
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…
