"I think we are being played by the arms industry. A mentality of fear and violence makes them richer by the day. The NRA is full of members who have been convinced those of us "non-members" are out to take their guns and freedom away from…"
Holly Blake replied to LM Godoy's discussion Same-sex Marriage.
"For it. Anything else is discrimination. I care about this particular subject a great deal because someone very dear to me is gay and hopes someday to be able to marry. I really can't imagine how two people who care for each other…"

"Thanks for bringing this up. I can't remember a time, ever, when I fully believed although I was raised in a baptist household & attended church. There were many "what the heck" moments for me as a child. But the first moment I…"

"Hi Holly,
This is an issue I’m still working through. One part of my mind is keenly aware that the only way things change is by educating people one person at a time. Personal experience has taught me that, when it comes to religion,…"

"Hello Matthew
I agree that things have changed. Gotten MUCH worse. I have held my beliefs for many years but until the last 10 or so did not feel conflicted about just, for the most part keeping it to myself. These days I feel I must speak up and…"

"Jonathan- Do you ever feel the need to stand up against the religious craziness going on now-ever feel like you have to speak out in response to the destructiveness?"

"Brilliant, Richard! The ceramic pig collecting nails it on the head. It would be nice if theists who say atheism is a religion or that atheists are "afraid of god" could understand your point. They constantly ask why we feel the need to…"

I enjoyed reading your comment. Personally, I wouldn’t care how many people agreed with me that there is no god as long as their unwillingness to see things my way didn’t define so much of the society I have to live in.…"

"Hi Holly,
I, too, don’t try and recruit people to atheism. For one thing I hate it when people try to get me to join a religion so I’m not about to try and get anyone else to realize that religion is a falsehood. For another…"

Devout Atheism?
I was watching Up with Chris Hays this weekend-he covered the Rally. Made me think about where this belief fits into my life. If I had to describe myself in 5 words I am not sure it (atheist) would make the list- but it probably would on a list of ten. Christians are coerced into going after recruits. That gives them power of a sort. But I feel no need to convince anyone else of my lack of a belief in a god. Just something I am trying to come to terms with...any thoughts?See More
