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…

I know how hard it is growing up in a RED state. Missouri (especially where I live) is very red.
I became a non-believer three years ago. Living in the middle of the bible belt can be very difficult at times. I think it would take a miracle to get these people to see outside the box. It took me a long time. I am over 65 now and feel like I have waisted most of my life in a "fantasy world" believing in something that does not exist.
Hang in there and write back anytime....

What does 'currently' mean? Are we transitioning through Buddhism on our way to something else?
If you like Buddhism, you might want to check out some of Sam Harris' talks in which he mentions naturalistic explanations for transcendent experiences. Granted, it wasn't a terribly popular sentiment among his fellow atheists, but he maintains that what are called "higher states of consciousness," "transformative experiences" or "transcendent experiences" can be real even if they are not supernatural in nature and that they can be attained through meditation, among other things. Here is one article he wrote on the subject:

It's good to know that I can count on you between now and when the dark lord of madness crawls forth from his watery grave.

Oh, and yeah, I've heard of the Austin bat cruises on The Atheist Experience, many times. That would be cool to check out, sometime when I can make it down that way.
And yeah, I'm seriously taking a look at Austin. The growing, nationwide recognition of the ACA is yet another reason. I've heard about the 'special souvenirs' on the bat cruise, too. :-D
