I have the chance to help thousands of homeless people but I need your help

there is a church in California that is willing to bring me to their pulpit to try and convince me that there is a god. Nothing is set in stone as to the proceedures for this discussion. I hope to…Continue

I am surprised and glad that others agree this chainmail type message is disturbing. Im not totally surprised I am just always surprised someone else agrees with my thoughts. Im also surprised that so many people keep sentimental notes they wrote in…

I have an Idea. I don't know anything about making a documentary, but, I'm on the east coast and the church is on the west coast. Surely someone can come up with 12 reasons to stop between here. One question to ask all of america...what is…

Have you ever seen the documentary "The Color of Fear" You should see it and then see if this might help you in your quest. I am from S.C. and have been hiding out in CA. My family is all mad at me because I haven't been home in 15…

You are probably correct. I agree that you should try not to appear as hostile. Perhaps you could ask some questions about what the members think of atheists and try to dispell the myths. Regarding your last comment, I'm reminded of a George…

Stump Parrish, check out this youtube channel. It is about a TV station in Austin Tx. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheAtheistExperience He answers questions on his show and has some very good points. Could be another resource for you.

Freethinker, what you suggest is something I have been attempting to do here in the bible belt for some time now. If the response I get here from my friends is any indication of what might actually happen in California, I will have lost the chance…

This thought is showing up again and again and it is sinking in. This is an oppurtunity to improve the perception of atheism from with in the church. This is something that I know I can do. That will require me to tone down my usually stubborn…

About Me
I am 51 years old. Over the last couple of years I have begun to voice my opinions in my local newspaper on a variety of subjects. Freedom from Religion, the Destruction of our Environment, the Legalization of Marijuana and Governmental Reform. I consider myself to be a Libertarian. None of these positions are very popular in South Carolina. I am looking for an opportunity to network with like minded individuals and make a difference in this country.
I have been designing t-shirts and producing small quanities of iron-on transfers for my friends for about 2 years now. I hope to aquire a screen printing system by the middle of December and will start producing shirts for sale at the local flea markets. The next step is to take this to an online distibution site. Hopefully I will be producing a meager income from this in the near future. I have a few of my shirts on this site. You can find more on my myspace page at www.myspace.com/stumpinsc. All told I have around 400 quotes and sayings ready to go.

Why are so many Americans so proud of their stupidity and ignorance?

Posted on December 26, 2009 at 3:38am 13 Comments

I posted this on myspace and I thought I would share it here. As you can tell it was directed at the bible thumpers and not my friends on Nexus. As always comments are welcomed and any advice for improving my approach to blogging are encouraged. I for one am interested in learning and improving myself, quite an un-american practice I know, lol.



According to the Bible, the original sin was seeking knowledge. I am constantly amazed at the number of Americans that are still today… Continue

ffrf billboards attract local news coverage in SC

Posted on December 21, 2009 at 9:45pm 0 Comments

Our local CBS network aired a small segment discussing the Freedom From Religion Foundation's holiday billboards. Round three where they discuss the billboards starts at 3:01 into the segment. You should really enjoy the opinion of a professional newscaster concerning freedom of speech.. I am aware that this segment is an opinion piece, however this is one opinion that does little to garner respect for the professional journalists this country used to count on for accurate, unbiased,… Continue

Are you too busy for a friend ?

Posted on December 16, 2009 at 2:14pm 9 Comments

This was sent to me by a friend on myspace and it is too good not to pass on.



One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.



Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down..



It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in… Continue

Thank you for the friend add, Stump. Glad to make your acquaintance. :)

Loren another problem I face in the south is the stubborness of the Southern Baptist. I would venture to guess that at least 50% of Baptists in this area still haven't acceptted that blacks are their equal. 25% think that a return to slavery is the best course of action, and many that General Lee is about to be resurrected for one last great battle. What is this fasination with resurection anyway? I determined that the best course of action is to try and impprove our "government" Schools. Once we manage to get the average IQ in the south into double digits more and more Baptists will begin to grow up rather than being born again. An ignorant general population has been (please ignore the pun) a godsend to political and religious leaders and they have worked hard to maintain the status quo. "The great masses of the people…will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.~ Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1933

So many of those people are just totally canalized in their thought processes. They're content with their world as it is and in deep sneakers when it changes on them without notice. They've got their four walls up around them and they're nice and comfortable ... and most of all, SAFE.

That's OK Arnab. Much quicker than the second coming of Christ. Wouldn't want to be hanging by the balls waiting for that to happen.
