This has really been bugging me. I saw this interview on CNN: John King, USA a few days ago. The service man interviewed was shot by a snipper, died ... I mean, gone, flat lined ... only to be…Continue

"What the "mind" experiences as it is dying may sound interesting but for the purposes of acting as a witness in God's trial I don't give it much credence."

"I appreciated the fact that the Captain made no mention of god, which he almost certainly would have were he a christian. When asked about NDEs he asserted that they don't exist (or he's needs to change the way he's living his life)."

How much proof do people need?
This has really been bugging me. I saw this interview on CNN: John King, USA a few days ago. The service man interviewed was shot by a snipper, died ... I mean, gone, flat lined ... only to be revived 15 minutes later. Luckily, he suffered no brain damage and is able to describe the entire process of dying. I am very disappointed that John King didn't ask probing questions about the existence of "God". It is clear in this interview that there is no "God". The evidence contradicting the…See More

Roach said… - Hi Tom and welcome to A/N. To answer your questions I don't market or advertise as specializing in secular weddings although I do tend to attract that type of clientele. I do mostly outdoor/beach weddings and even a few pagan ceremonies and would have no problem with gay ceremonies.
I don't mind working with someone who likes my work even if they happen to be religious. The truth is I have concerns about my religious and political beliefs hurting my business therefore don't publicly associate the two. I'm very open to the fact that I'm an atheist in my personal life and on other networking sites like facebook.
Just curious are you in the business as well?

sk8eycat commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Tony, I love that clip! "Wolf Gets Blitzed"...tee-hee.
Did anyone read the comments below the You Tube version? they were almost all like, "Yeah, thank the lard for sending a ghastly tornado to kill more than 50…"
The Flying Atheist commented on Ruth Anthony-Gardner's group Hang With Friends"Great clip, Tony. People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis. Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
