Rise of the Gnostic Atheist: A Deconversion Story

Alias: GMNightmare
Name: Jesse
Date: 29 July 2009
Birth: 1988 C.E.

In my beginning, I was born to both a new mother and new father. My birth was a rather large event to my extended family, for I was the very first great…

“Imagine No Religion” is Blasphemous?

stoopid-incurableFreedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF.org) recently put up a billboard near Pell City, Alabama. One of their classics, pulling from a line in one of John Lennon’s songs: “Imagine No Religion.”

The sign is located on east-bound I-20 just past the…

Holy Jesus In A Little Plastic Cup! How Convenient!

The interweb is an amazing place. There’s stuff out there that just leaves me speechless. Or makes me laugh. Or like this rare case, I do both at the same time. What a MIRACLE, people! I laughed and was speechless!…

Conversations With christians – Beth 2 – Down The Rabbit Hole

funny-pictures-your-cat-should-be-doused-in-holy-waterHello everyone. I heard from Beth again today and will share our further exchange with you in a minute. After I posted the first conversation with her, she and I corresponded at least once more that night. So the following…

Do People Need To Worship? EDITED

About Me
I am an eclectic enigma, a paragon of practical pragmatism, a lover life's little luxuries, a searching and sensible citizen scientist. I am a skeptical atheist with a heart of gold.

I have a great husband, also an atheist, and two awesome dogs that drive me crazy.

I look forward to talking to like-minded people about anything and everything so say hi! :)

Heaving Dead Cats is a place for merging our thoughts and opinions into an agora, a common meeting place to Enlighten the Mind and Dispel Ignorance Through Skeptical Freethought Atheist Musings. HDC is also a place for recovering believers from the tyranny of religion, and so much more.
We're looking for good people to contribute articles, posts and information, to help make it an awesome place for atheists and freethinkers everywhere, as well as a resource. So feel free to contact us to get involved!

Morgantown Atheists is a new site I've started for the Morgantown Atheists group. We are a group of skeptical freethinking pragmatic atheists who love reason and science. :)

I love this. I'd gleefully pay for this to be run in the local paper.
I love the idea of flyers posted around. I'm going to bring that up to my group. Hey, don't think it can't eventually make a difference. Even if a handful of like minded nontheists get together to hang out once a month, you never know where that c...
I'm not the one in charge of the billboard campaign here in Morgantown, but I'll try to find out how hard it is. I think that the FFRF just really needs one person to find the right billboard company, get prices of different billboards, and then b...
Hi! I'm Neece and I'm near Morgantown. I think starting local groups that meet once a month or whenever is a great idea! I just joined the Morgantown Atheists. It's really small but hey, it's a start.
Our Morgantown group is just getting off the ground too. I like the idea of maybe doing some kind of bulletin board thing. That's a great idea! We're looking into getting a billboard through FFRF or the AHA put up. I think that would help some peo...

You're Right, this group is small and lonely. We have a Morgantown Atheists group on yahoo and a website by that name, now. But there's not too much for atheists in WV, is there?
You are very accommodating. The stuff reads badly this morning. I apologize for the pontification :-) I just could not get the stuff to sound chatty last night.

A Message For Creationists and Fundamentalists

Ok, I know, we're all good-natured atheists here, but this article would be for those of you who know creationists and fundamentalists. I know they are all hypocrites, but they are really bad about it. So I listed everything I could think of that they need to forsake. Please feel free to add to what I've got already. The whole article is at HDC.

5 Evil and Crazy christian Movements

christianity drives me nuts. I find it to be reprehensible in most aspects but here are a few issues that top my list at the moment. Please feel free to add to the list, and to include islam and any other religion. I found it overwhelming to even get as far as I did. It's rather depr… Continue

Wild Geese by Mary Oliver

Today my favorite poem just came to mind out of the blue. When I first heard it over a decade ago, it was very helpful to me in realizing I didn't have to sacrifice myself, like I had been raised as a christian. I am also requesting that you share your favorite words or image… Continue

A Short Survey For Atheists About Belief and Rationality

The other day I wrote about atheists and how we're not all evolved alike. We're all very individual with how we got to where we are regarding religion and our beliefs.
Today I created a short 6 question survey about reconciling belief and rationality. I'd love it if… Continue

The Virgin Mary is SEXY


How hot is the Virgin Mary? Yowza. This is the work of Ricardo Oyarzun, a fashion designer in Chile who wants to dress models in Virgin Mary inspired garb, but sexier. That's not the best part. The response of the roman catholic church is what made me laugh out loud. I quo… Continue

Neece,

Just read your post about atheist morality at de-conversion. You ARE a pot-stirrer! Some of the long timers don't like confrontation very much there - one of the reasons I don't read and comment there more often. But I liked your list - if you have time read the 'This I Believe' message on my page href="http://www.atheistnexus.org/profile/BradFeaker">here from Christopher Tucker...he is right up your alley! Good post!

Thanks, I had no clue this place existed until last night. Seems pretty awesome, just wish there were more members from WV. Id like to meet more of "our kind".

Thanks for the welcome! I'm at work right now, otherwise I'd chat you up on IM.

Is Religulosity being shown in the theaters? I'm doing a search and am not coming up with anything concrete.

G'day,

Do you mind if I ask what breed they are?

Hey it's great to have 'different things' going on in life too! Travel isn't everything.

Anyhow your dogs would probably get sick of all that flying.

Maybe some day you will get the chance to cover more of the continent?

The wonder of travel ... a great thing I think!

I don't think that there's *anyone* who wouldn't think those sorts of things are clearly in the realm of a sexual proposition. The gray area is more like when potentially ordinary conversation goes on but is... kinda "friendly".

Exactly SGecko. I can't believe that we have to even come up with a straight-faced answer to whether or not there could have been a sudden global flood that covered everything. It's like having to give a straight-faced answer to "The moon is made ...

Wicked ? It's a flippant interlude for a great writer. It takes death to be recognised. Buk is only finally being valued as one of your greatest.

It takes wisdom from Pakistan to tell it like it is. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye (the guy in the panda suit gathering change for the WWF), but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? (as an example, the...

Why do I fight ? I fight for those that hate me. Because they are too weak to fight for themselves. They have the strength to hate, but not to fight. 1 in a 1000 gets over their hate. That is good enough for me.
700 awaits...
Picard has my vote!
