"I agree Jerry about whose life is it anyway? Just like when the government tells a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. Whose uterus is it anyway?"

I feel your dilema. My daughter in kindergarten was told she was going to hell because she wasn't a baptist. She was 5 & did not even know what the meaning of heaven or hell. She came home in tears & had…"

"Thank you for all your condolences. And thank you for not calling me "emotive". I still believe religion is driving the laws for these types of events. We as humans can do better. I know death is a part of life,…"

My heart goes out to you. Such a difficult time. As time passes, memory shifts, and you remember more of the good, and less of the bad. At least that's how it's been for me.
It sometimes seems to me that…"

There are several bad things going on at once.
I used to work in a hospice years ago. Back then, we were taught that ALL pain can be taken away with the appropriate amount and type of pain medications. The goal of…"

Legal Euthanasia - Death with Dignity
Hello fellow Atheists,I have just lost my Father after watching him slowly die for 3+ days in a Hospice. It was the most horrific & painful event I have ever witnessed. The Staff was caring & respectful but there was nothing peaceful or dignified about his passing. Not only am I traumatized & heartbroken, but I am filled with anger. As a society we will not let our cats & dogs suffer such a death & will put them to sleep - for humane purposes. I ask you- why I am forced…See More

Two Cult Survivor commented on Wyatt's blog post Theists, Cargo Cults, and Logic"They mistake logic with internal consistency.
If you show a theist that his views are internally inconsistent, you will have some measure of success. He will make a good faith (ha!) effort at modifying his views to make them more internally…"

Wyatt posted a blog postTheists, Cargo Cults, and Logic
So tired of religious apologists asking me to show evidence for the non-existence of their particular god. I've asked them how they would go about showing evidence for the non-existence of the dragon in Carl Sagan's garage or Russell's celestial teapot. They assert that the analogy is false, but don't explain how. They use words like 'logic' or 'inference' as if they were magic charms without fully understanding what these words mean. It's not unlike superstitious primitives from a cargo cult…See More
