For the godless in Baltimore.
The 2nd Amendment guarantees an American's RIGHT to own firearms. Much like the 1st Amendment guarantees the concept to keep Church and State separate.

- About Me
- "I have no patience with the hypothesis occasionally expressed, and often implied, especially in tales written to teach children to be good, that babies are born pretty much alike, and that the sole agencies in creating differences between boy and boy, and man and man, are steady application and moral effort. It is in the most unqualified manner that I object to pretensions of natural equality. The experiences of the nursery, the school, the University, and of professional careers, are a chain of proofs to the contrary."- Francis Galton, "Hereditary Genius"
"There was a land of Cavaliers and Cotton Fields called the Old South. Here in this pretty world, Gallantry took its last bow. Here was the last ever to be seen of Knights and their Ladies Fair, of Master and of Slave. Look for it only in books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization gone with the wind..." - introductory line to "Gone With The Wind"
"Lindoro gave full rein to his vulgar loquacity, interposing cant expressions, indecent retcences, shrewed revealing smiles, ambiguous gestures, little smackings of the tongue and lips.
He pimped artistically, he knew how to insinuate corruption into Giuliana's mind, he knew how to draw prey slowly into Marcello's trap. And Guiliana listened intently, with a growing flame in the depths of her eyes..." - Gabrielle D'Annunzio, The Book of the Virgins
"The stupidity of man results from his biophysico-chemical dependency. His mind is dependent upon his brain, and his brain is subject to chemistry rather than logic. He believes every conceivable absurdity because of the compulsion of his chemistry. Think of an absurdity! You can be certain that some man, somewhere, at some time believed it to be an eternal truth. Some people believe that the human nose was designed to bear spectacles, that pigs were created so than man can eat pork, that stars were created to beautify the firmament, that communism is the solution to man’s economic problems that man was created to worship God, and that prayer has the power to suspend the laws of nature. Millions of people believed that the burning of heretics at the stake was a loving service to God. Mohammedans believed that killing infidel Christians was the will of Allah, and Christians believed that killing infidel Mohammedans was the will of their God of Love. Human stupidity is not a matter of choice. It is a matter of physics and chemistry." -Gerald B. Lorentz "Homo and 44/100% Nonsapiens"
"Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an e-mail." - Eliot Spitzer, New York state attorney general
"Is he [God] willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then is he impotent.
Is he able but not willing? Then is he malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Whence then is evil?"
-David Hume
"Our world was brutal, immoral, smug and conventional. We had unbounded contempt for all those who did not sin as we sinned." Jim Tully "Circus Parade"

Honestly, one of them could "rift" all she wants, and neither I nor my wife would be that upset. The other one is a big wimp. She's not likely to make a stink over it. She'll just pray harder. She's good at compartmentalizing that way.
It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
I'm telling Miss Julie! . . (Sombody wants a spanking!!).
Seems like you could be in danger of getting more than just your tongue stuck, to a dancing pole at the north pole . . .
Just be carefull... I had a similar discussion with my sisnlaw and it almost caused a big rift in my otherwise tightly nit family.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
