I was never on good terms with my parents, but every Christmas Eve we go to church and spend hours at a vigil. I can't even explain how painful this is; not only is it boring, stupid, long, dragging,…Continue

Tamtampamela and other tsunami "responses"
If you guys haven't seen the video that brought her to my attention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UmotTE-VlY If you don't want to be angered, don't watch the video. Beyond that, it seems the rest of her channel is the typical run of the mill, bible-thumping fundamentalist fare, with lots of anti-atheist rhetoric. But the sad part is that I feel that there are other fundamentalists who share her sentiments (not just the "the tsunami is…See More

Being forced to go to church Christmas Eve....
I was never on good terms with my parents, but every Christmas Eve we go to church and spend hours at a vigil. I can't even explain how painful this is; not only is it boring, stupid, long, dragging, and pointless, but it's absolutely humiliating to be there. My father insists on sitting in the front row, where the priest can see me, thousands of people watch me take Communion, and my peers from high school, who know me as an outspoken atheist, can see me being forced to kneel and pray. I feel…See More

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hello Kathleen
You are a clever girl, much wiser than the family.
Welcome to this friendly meeting place with atheist freethinkers who recognise that fictional gods and crafty religions have always been used to deceive and control vulnerable superstitious people including defenceless children;
----and how tragic and inexcusable it also is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and longer.
Terry Meaden
founder of the busy group "ORIGINS: Universe, Astronomy, Life, Earth, Humans, Religion, Evolution, Darwin..." with its 300 discussion topics.
We invite you to join us and 1800 others.

Recovering from Religion
Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
