J.P.M. replied to Mr. Carter's discussion 'Just venting...' in the group Atheist Humor

Venting is why we come here! I hear you, man. I am an evolutionary biologist working in Kansas. I don't even socialize Hardly at all because I can't stomach religiously-retarded rednecks And their holier-than-thou attitude. Oh yeah, you…

J.P.M. replied to Kelly M's discussion 'SB 0893 back door to creationism in TN public schools!! Time to do something!!' in the group Tennessee Atheists

You see, the problem is that your effort, however eloquently worded and correct, is destined to fall on deaf ears because of the very nature of dogmatic religious belief. Religious 'faith' actually prevents people from learning…

J.P.M. replied to Kelly M's discussion 'SB 0893 back door to creationism in TN public schools!! Time to do something!!' in the group Tennessee Atheists

I understand completely. I have 2 school age daughters myself. The indoctrination of youth is one of the principle ways religious claptrap is propagated and we have to call them on every infraction in the public school system. At least…

Hi Kelly, I agree this is worth speaking out against because the covert intent is clear. All you can ever say to these people is that ID creationism a not scientific theories of anything because they aren't testable in any way. But as you know,…

A secular victory in Egypt

The excellent outcome of the (virtually) bloodless revolution in Egypt should encourage all Arabic atheists. Egypt is 97 % Islamic but this was clearly not an Islamic revolution. It was entirely secular. As a friend of many secular Arabs, I find this inspiring - a very hopeful development for democracy in the Middle east. A lesson perhaps even for America, where our politics seem to be more religiously polarized.It would be interesting to hear the views of our resident Arabic atheists.See More

Christine Richards replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

I haven't run into any problems with guys who wouldn't date me because I am an Atheist. Everyone seems okay with it. And in turn, I would have no problem dating someone who was religious.

Kelly M replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

I also put it right out there that I am atheist, and I haven't found that I get less responses either. I'm in a difficult age bracket anyway because I'm 41 so the dating pool is limited from the start. I seems to me that some of the…

Michael replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

Please don't confuse "conservative" with "religious". I know a lot of non-religious conservatives. And a lot of very religious liberals. The two things are independent of each other, common misconceptions notwithstanding.

Michael replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

Just as a note - Most women don't bother to read profiles, either; better than 90% just look at a guy's picture when deciding whether or not to respond. Humans are just visually-oriented creatures.

Oct 14, 2010

Michael replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

Realistically, yes it does reduce your chances. I find that about 1 in 5 women will absolutely not date me because I am nonreligious, and about 1 in 2 feel at least somewhat uncomfortable about it. I wouldn't put to much into OKC's…

Atheist Humor

This is the place to post that hilarious irreligious YouTube video, an irreverent, anti-religious cartoon, or other humorous bit of media. Posts that do not reflect an atheist/irreligious theme will be deleted. (Don't make me go Old Testament.)See More

Yeah, the Triangle, Triad, and Charlotte area are much better for finding non-religious types. Asheville much suck for that.

Cobbie Tigerpaw replied to J.P.M.'s discussion 'Does atheism reduce your online dating chances?' in the group Atheist Singles

Have you been to Match.com or any of the other sites? You put in non-religious and it leaves you with hardly anybody (let alone if you put in that you don't want children...)

I agree with that statement! I just can't stand the "glassy eyed" look of the indoctrinated. :)

At 2:03pm on September 17, 2010, J.P.M. said…: All the 'Islamophobia' in the news these days is quite amusing to me - especially since it is all being pushed by right-wing Christian nut-jobs. After all, is their any meaningful difference between Islam and Christianity? They're both ridiculous mythologies multiply translated from the oral traditions of a bunch of illiterate, stone-age peasants that lived somewhere in the Middle East 2000 years ago. Principles shared: monotheism, homophobia, evolution denial, mistrust of science, afterlife myths (including preposterous reward scenarios for the faithful), blood sacrifice, countless ridiculous ceremonies and rituals. I could go on, but you get the idea...

At 7:15am on May 26, 2010, heretic said…: oh dear. i am curious, being from NY and all, and never having lived that central in the US (although close enough for much discomfort for too long!)

do you think it is the education (or lack thereof) which makes the bible belt mentality so strong? what do you think makes the prevailing beliefs prevail? peer pressure to conform? or do you think it is too complicated to defy simple description? i am just curious.
i never thought of americans as particularly stupid people (maybe i am just being unreasonably patriotic[?]), but since i am well traveled, and have met many people from non-religious dominated cultures, i'm trying to find an explanation for what on URN makes the religious right so popular. =whew= was that a run-on or whut. LOL!
well anyway, just wanted to know what you thought.
cheers mate.

Thanks for the NYT link on Pakistan's Facebook ban. I'm collecting them for an article elsewhere on the web.
