On the whole God/Allah thing, it really bugs me that these nitwits don't realize that they're fighting each other over the same god.
I've been thinking of designing a shirt that reads:
Abraham = Avraham = Ibrahim
Get over it!

As a member of a group that put up the billboard, I'm upset by the vandalism but not at all surprised.
The sign has now been restored but we're anticipating the next round of vandalism.
Electronic billboards are nice but this is what we…

EXXXcellent. I like the lines: Some folks will never learn...they've got the cash to burn.
New version of "Big Butter Jesus"
With an enormous tip of the hat to Heywood Banks, writer and performer of the original Big Butter Jesus song, I submit my sequel to it (sung to the same tune):Big Butter JesusGot hit by lightningWith a roar of thunderThat was downright frightening.Seem like the AlmightyBurned the sucker to the groundWhen the sun rose next dayOnly ashes could be found.Chorus:Big Butter JesusFireball JesusThunderstruck JesusUngrounded JesusPyrotechnic JesusInflammable JesusIronic JesusIncendiary LordWith his eyes…See More

Jim C. replied to Wayne Andrew Meeds's discussion 'New Lyrics for "Jesus Loves Me"' in the group Atheist Humor
Jesus loves me? How absurd!
Don't believe a single word!
Purge religion from your brain,
Nothing's lost but much is gained.
No god above me,
No god below me,
No god around me,
My reason tells me so.

Jim C. replied to DeafAtheist's discussion 'The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar'
But debating his existence makes debating his divinity a moot point. It's the base that their whole house of cards is built upon. Pull that card and the rest comes tumbling down. They're not even left with, "Well, even if you…

Yes, we'll be there! (We live in town so it's relatively handy.) In fact, the American Freethought podcast will record a live show at 11:30AM Saturday as part of the Skeptics track. Hope to see you there!

Jim C. commented on Rosemary LYNDALL WEMM's blog post 'WHO CREATED LIFE?'
Outstanding response, Rosemary.
One thing that I often tell the anti-evolution folks is that even if by some outside chance they manage to completely disprove every discovery made by evolutionary scientists, it doesn't give their argument any…
Jim C. commented on The Secular One's photo
I'm amazed by the contradiction here... all living things on Earth were created in the first six days yet weeds didn't exist yet.
These people are insane.

Many atheists start as believers in some kind of religious doctrine but eventually come out of it. I'm one of those. I was raised by my devout grandmother and my abusive, alcoholic mother. Grandma told me that if my faith was deep enough, prayer would see me through any crisis. So I attended the local United Methodist church, went to the youth group meetings and attended Boy Scouts in the church's basement. I even learned to bake so I could contribute to the church's coffers (we were too… Continue

Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… - Greetings, Jim! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus since Aug. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds,Hang With Friends . :D You might feel more at home.

Dallas Gaytheist said… - Jim, please consider joining my new group HERCULANEUM: A PLACE FOR MEN. Herculaneum is a group where men can discuss and explore the ideas, goals, demands, ethics, sexuality, and nature of manhood and masculinity. It is a place where we are free to be ourselves, and discuss the issues most important to our identities as men.
I have already started two discussions to get us going: How do we define manhood in the 21st century? and Rites of Passage: A Lost Ritual?.
This is a private group, and discussions can be viewed by members only. Membership is open to men only. Please check it out.
