Joseph P said… Nice. Sounds similar to my case, in that early exposure to science made me doubt all of the silly stories they told us in CCD (Catholic Sunday school). I had a few other contributing factors, myself. I had a lot of early exposure to Greek and Roman mythology, plus a lot of exposure to stage magic.
I grew up when Doug Henning had a special on TV, multiple times a year, and was on a lot of random variety shows. After seeing the sort of stuff they could do on stage, the miracles in the Bible didn't seem so impressive, I guess.
Hell, Lazarus could have just been in a coma, but I just saw that girl get cut in half and healed back together. Which is the greater miracle? ^.^

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
