Rainbow day/Pride Day at Six Flags over Atlanta

I spent the entire day at Six Flags over Atlanta this past Saturday for my son's birthday, and discovered that it just happened to also be Rainbow Day for the Atlanta Gay Pride movement.

"Yes, he's an atheist, but apathetic to atheism. He just doesn't want to be expected to join any "Atheist Club". He's the libertarian atheist sort, kind of like Penn Jillette."

Politicians Pandering: "God calling on me to run" Where are they now?

This must be that "trikster god" I keep hearing about:Herman Cain:"I prayed and prayed and prayed," Cain told about 100 members of the Georgia Young Republicans in Atlanta on Saturday. "I'm a man of faith, I had to do a lot of praying for this one, more praying than I'd ever done before…See More

Posted on May 6, 2011 at 7:10am 1 Comment

Xtians, Jews, Muslims (and I imagine other world religions) use speech that immediately casts a wedge between their religion and all other people (not just other religions). They casually throw out the phrase "As a Christian":

As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice. ...And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly, it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian…

Nigerian 419 scam – Mrs. Victory Komana

Posted on April 14, 2011 at 5:07am 0 Comments

I recently received a 419 scam email from Mrs. Victory Komana. 419 emails, or "Nigerian scam" emails are social engineering scam email messages, designed to separate the recipient from their money by relaying a massage of sorrow, as is in this one, or surprise for your good fortune, as in "You have just won 150 Million African Krugerrand". The payoff -… Continue
