  Fear. That is what drives the people of the US.  You've had a change in the mind set of the American people.  Religion has helped in that.  Don't question authority. Don't do this..don't do that...don't…

 Just FYI, Perry is sucking up to them because here in Texas we're part of the "Bible Belt."  If you want to get elected here in Texas you gotta: A: Be a screaming "Christian" no matter what... B: Against abortion…

   I know where you are coming from. I totally agree.  But let me give you a little insight on this issue.   I use to be a Republican. I was very active in the Party. But starting around 1984, the "Religious" crazies…

About Me
Been an atheist since the 1st grade. Looked into religion but it wasn't me.

College educated. Traveled, but want to travel more. Had my own business with a business partner. Now going to start out on my own. I'm single but have come close to getting married twice (then I met their families..).

Like variety in life. Like a variety of food and drink, and yes, even movies and music.

The only exception to this is I don't care for country nor rap. Now there are "some" country and old rap groups I like. But I mean, just how many times can you listen to, "Bitch done took my money" and "My dawg died, the crops failed, my wife left me and my beers flat.."

Politically you can call me a Blue Dog Democrat. Now I was a Republican until 1992. But like so many other the Republican Party left me. The bible pounders took over and just ruined the damn thing. And have come close to ruining this country as well.
We'll be cleaning up after these religious yahoo’s for years to come…

I am a firm believer in the separation of Church and State. Just look at history and you'll see why. You'll also see why the Founding Father's when they created this country would not allow for an official religion.

You see, there is a whole lot of meaning behind the words in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Remember, the Founding Fathers were victims. They were British subjects who were denied their rights.

Interesting thing, you can see how those who are not “believers” can also have their rights taken away and or denied.

Over all, it is my personal belief that no matter where you go, people are just people. They just want to go through life with the least amount of hassles and problems, with enough food to eat, a place to live, to just be safe, comfortable and warm.

QUOTE

"The religious factions growing throughout our land are trying to force government leaders into following their position 100 percent. If you disagree with these religious groups they threaten you with a loss of money or votes or both. From where do they presume to dictate their moral beliefs to me? I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of Conservatism."
Senator Barry Goldwater

I'm Runing for the Office of the President. Do you like My Hair?

Posted on August 24, 2011 at 10:41pm 0 Comments

     I was reading online the other day what Republican Party presidential candidate hopeful Rick Perry would like to do.  Reading it I was surprised that the man would even consider doing such things.  But then again, this shows you just how far the so called “Republican Party” has gone to the right.

     Now I grew up in Houston in the only congressional district in Texas, if not the country that carried Berry Goldwater in the 1964 Presidential campaign.  In fact, I…

This is not Communist China, Communist North Korea, Communist Cuba, or Iran....

You cannot do this. You cannot ban a religion…

  I’m really ticked off now…..BIG TIME!

Last night I expected all the “rapture”  yahoo’s to be gone.  All I expected to find was a bunch

of clothes, empty house, apartments, mobile homes and the like.  Cars just left on the street with the keys in them.

I had planned to go out looting. I was gonna clean up with the cash they left…

My Father's Funeral, an Atheist's Funeral.

Posted on March 4, 2011 at 4:03pm 8 Comments

  A few weeks ago my father passed away. Like me he was an Atheist. Like me he had been one since he was a young man. I was six when I “became” one, or rather realized, like with Santa, the Easter Bunny,

ghosts and all, it was all made up.

  So in keeping with my father’s wishes we had a non-religious funeral.  I gave the eulogy. I spoke about his life.  What he had…
