I wanted to know why you (or anyone) would want to portray yourself that way. To explain, what i'm saying is in the answer to this question,

What does your picture, i.e., a man aiming a gun as if to shoot, mean to people? What do ppl think of when they see your picture?

The image conjures violence by showing you aiming a gun as if to shoot.
Why?
Because what does shooting normally represent?
Killing, or at least maiming/causing pain and fear.
(Your pic does NOT bring to mind target practice, hammers and paper weights. Although, perhaps it might remind ppl of Hollywood movies.)

If I am still not being clear, I can try to explain it this way: Why were guns invented? There is one answer. To kill.

If that is the message you want people to get, you've succeeded. Perhaps the Hollywood glamorization of violence appeals to you, as it does to many others?
Gun violence also appeals to people who commit school shootings, as well as other types of broken ppl. That is very disurbing. (Not calling you one!)

As for me, I'm very familiar with guns, having shot more kinds than I can recall while deployed, and having had to be regularly qualified on several because I am active duty military. So I get the "defending liberty" part you mentioned. However your pic does not bring images of defending liberty to mind. Maybe it would if you were in uniform in Iraq or Afghanistan.
That's about the best I can do to explain.

Your picture is disturbing. why do you need to show that you will commit violence? Guns are good for targets and murder, not much else.

Hi, nice to meet you. Hopefully we can meet one day in person.

Just wanted to let you know there are 2 great groups in your area. One is Orange County Atheists http://www.ocatheists.com/ . The second is Backyard Skeptics http://www.meetup.com/Backyard-Skeptics/ . They both have monthly meetings and events. I've spent time with both groups and the people are fun to be around.

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 2 Comments

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…
