Loren Miller commented on Rejectthegods's blog post 'Conversations with Mother'
This is a point I've probably made more than once: I LOVE my daughter ... PERIOD ... and I cannot think of anything she could do or say that would make me NOT love her or not support her.  That is as fundamental to me as Ohm's Law or…

Thanks John and Cliff. Yeah, Cliff, I had already decided that I'm going to send pictures of the entire process to her. She will know she has grandchildren. Going to do the birthday card, xmas card, and everything too. I also believe she will…

Conversations with Mother

So, my partner and I are moving to Washington, DC. We've told our family. Everything was going really well.....until.....A few night ago I was talking with my mother. Once again, I mentioned the move. She acted like she had not heard this before. The conversation on the phone went something like this:Mom - So you are really going to move.Me - Yes, we are.Mom - You are making a big mistake. I don't know why you don't understand the cost of living is so much more up there.Me - I know, but my…See More

Well, I'm white, but my partner is black. 19 years later we're still together despite being in Mississippi. However, I've given up on the state. Planning on moving Northeast this summer. Haven't told my family about the atheist…

Rejectthegods replied to Orson_Zedd's discussion 'Finally Found Out' in the group Mississippi Atheists
I'd imagine any chat I'd have with any member of of my family would go along those same lines. I've often said, they'd be much more upset that I am an atheist than I am gay. I don't know that you can do much of anything…

Tiffany commented on Rejectthegods's blog post 'The Book of Job: The Worst Book of the bible'
I've always felt the same way about Job, even back when I was a "christian." And it reminds me of this guy who came to speak at chapel last week. He's this really nice guy who's dying of cancer. And sure, it's good that…

Down with John D on this one. Revelation contradicts all of Jesus' teachings by talking about taking up the sword and what not. Those who take the mark of the beast will be punished eternally, but also an angel will come and burn the mark out…

It could have been the fact that I put this together really fast and misread Job 42:2. :)

Brother, you are preaching to the choir on this one. http://www.thebricktestament.com/job/index.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHPg3kjKBRc Job gets a mention here too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDUkd5os4xk My favourite use of Job is to…

The Book of Job: The Worst Book of the bible

A post from my blog: http://rejectthegods.wordpress.com/If anyone reading the bible actually has any doubts that it isn't real, there is one book that, above all others, should convince them that either a) god isn't real or b) if he is real, he isn't worth worshiping.I'll start out by posting a summary of the book of job from wikipedia:There was an extremely pious man named Job. He was very prosperous, and had seven sons and three daughters.…See More

About Me
I am gay and I am an atheist. I have made my choice. There is no god. It is a made up story by bronze age savages to explain the world around them. It’s time is up and the people who are aware of it are growing. To all the christians who may or may not read this, take an honest look at your book, your savior, and your god. Is he really someone you’d want to worship? A god who advocates slavery, rape, murder, genocide, and unconditional obedience?

Just think about it. READ the bible.

Great to see someone else in Mississippi here! Being a science teacher in this state has to be rough at times.

That's a well-written piece in your profile.
Hi and welcome to this splendid site and its many thousands of bright people like you who recognise religion for the fraud that it is. Gods exist only inside human heads where too much space is taken up in their brains.
