I am going to the Veterans Administration Wednesday for surgery on my right hand to relieve Dupuytren's Contractures, the second time in four years.This time there is a difference. Four years ago I lived in Oklahoma, where as an atheist my Christian neighbours mostly ignored me; those that didn't offered to pray for healing for my hands (rather than thank a skilled surgeon).Now I live in a tiny village in the…See More

Not shovelling my walks for the church goers today.

Last week when it snowed, I shovelled my walks, primarily for the church-goers across the street.
Today the wind chill is -26 F. Nope. Not doing it today, city trustee or no.

The religious will frequently argue that an atheist is inappropriate as a government representative for various reasons (you need a moral compass, ad nauseum).
The village clerk came by my house Friday afternoon with the agenda for the meeting. This will be my first full meeting as a councilman on the Village Board. Let's take a look at the agenda, and see where a "Christian Viewpoint (tm)" would be of use (more…

Randall Smith said… I had some trepidation in displaying my "Science, Reason, and Secular Values" poster, plus "atheist" stickers, in my windows. Not to mention my "imagine no religion" bumper sticker. I feared "retaliation" of some sort. But nary a phone call or letter has been received. Whew!

Sentient Biped said… Thank you James. I've been "through" Nebraska a few times driving from midwest to NW. My 16 year old cat escaped from her carrier at a motel in Lincoln, never to be seen again. That was 10 years ago. I still miss her. My car broke down somewhere on a long stretch of road and I had to hitchhike to the nearest town. The vast stretches of fields reminded me of the ocean, only greener and quieter. Fortunately there was a nice person who was not a hitchhiker-obsessed serial killer, who picked me up. I remember most the spicy fragrance of a massive feedlot that wafted past me for many miles. Oh the memories.
