Just Mara replied to Garaidh Mac an tSaoir's discussion Why Apparently So Few African-American Atheists?
"That stat is why. The majority of blacks are holy rollers. I have been at non-church functions, around my people, where the first question is what is your name? The second question is what church do you belong to? When I…"

"Napoloeon Bonaparte, Insert a your between fuck and god and you have an atheistic statement. Have heard it on many occasions too. It is an expression of contempt and derision. Even without the possessive it is understood that way in context."
Napoleon Bonaparte commented on Just Mara's blog post FUCK GOD
"'Fuck God' is not an atheistic statement. It's like the statement of an angry believer or agnostic. The statement assumes the existence of a god. Is the T-Shirt free ?"

I understand the frustration that many, dare I saw all, atheists have when it comes to religion. Almost daily we are confronted with it on some level, it's just assumed that EVERYONE is a christian (I know that there are other religions, but all of my run ins have been with christians). If we are to make ourselves known, and more importantly, change perceptions how should we go about it?
Today I came across a t-shirt that said "FUCK GOD". That's a very strong statement. Don't…

Hee hee, I'm getting such a kick reading the various FB status updates regarding black friday and jesus! Since I am not a selfish person, I decided to share a few with you:
1)Who's standing in line fighting to see jesus? Try jesus - no line!
2)I think we should have black friday for folks that wanna be saved. You have to be at church at 3 a.m. to make it to heaven.
3)I got everything I need on black friday, JESUS!
The last one is my personal…

So, I'm in the breakroom today and a co-worker says to me, that it's a shame that we get more time off at Thanksgiving than xmas. We should be celebrating "the birth". She asked me if I agreed. I said that I didn't share her feelings on that and to have a nice Thanksgiving.
