Justin Ellsworth commented on Trina Hoaks's blog post 'Conklin Dairy Farms' animal cruelty caught on video - Petition started - Arrest made'
The sad thing is, that this is more the norm than not. The authorities need to crush these people. And don't be afraid of the term "animal rights" like some non-theists are afraid of the term "atheist." Just like atheism,…

It's an interesting ruling when you consider the judge took religion into account. What would his ruling be for a the murder of an OB/GYN who performed abortion procedures if the perpetrator was "well-meaning" and thought he was…

I agree with Tear and Sonny. These nutjobs are unfit parents who comitted murder and their asses should be in jail.

This case was negligent homicide. The religious nature of the case should have been irrelevant. That's how others learn; they get treated according to the law without preferential treatment. No one, and no group, should be above the…

They did what they really believed was right. A better punishment, IMO, would be to sentence them to some science and history classes. That would serve a higher purpose than just thinking about their little girl for a month.

They should be starved to death. This pisses me off. They murdered a little girl! And if you can get away with that then you can get away with anything.

Johnny commented on Trina Hoaks's blog post 'Faith healing proponent parents sentenced for death of daughter'
I agree with John. I think that this judge was very good about it. If he made the sentence too harsh, then the religious community would have had an uproar of horrible "just" thinking. I would have liked to see this addition of…

I want to be sympathetic to their plight but I can't find it in me. All I can say is, "Idiots!". There is no excuse for endagering the life of your child, and there is NO excuse for believing that prayer will be sufficient to save…

Dave Rogers commented on Trina Hoaks's blog post 'Faith healing proponent parents sentenced for death of daughter'
It's scary the judge wants them to continue their delusion in their useless, imaginary overlord. The punishment also sends out the wrong message to other faith-healing, criminally negligent parents.

John D commented on Trina Hoaks's blog post 'Faith healing proponent parents sentenced for death of daughter'
Tough call on sentencing. I have mixed feelings. What is really best? Assuming the parents are (at least to some extent) brainwashed by this Jesus cult, they didn't believe they were harming their daughter. They really thought they were right.…

Faith healing proponent parents sentenced for death of daughter

Posted on October 7, 2009 at 7:55am 12 Comments

Dale and Leilani Neumann of Wausau, Wisconsin could have saved their daughter. But they chose to rely on God rather than take their daughter to the doctor. Because they imposed their religious beliefs on their 11-year-old daughter, the young girl died. Yes, the parents have a right to believe as they like, but what about the rights of their daughter? Didn't she have a right to live?



The couple was sentenced yesterday for their part in their daughter's death. They received a sentence… Continue

The District and the Foundation agreed upon wording to include encouragement to children to spend an hour a week in various civic or educational pursuits, including not only religious but irreligious.…

Atheists victorious - Judge orders 'Almighty God' in Kentucky unconstitutional

Posted on August 30, 2009 at 11:54am 1 Comment

When American Atheists (AA) realized that the Kentucky office of Homeland Security had '"God" in its law, it sprang to action. Along with 10 other plaintiffs, AA filed suit to get the reference to God removed from the law.



According to AA, the "2006 law... blatantly mixes church and state, in defiance of the US Constitution." The law they speak of requires that the executive director of Kentucky's Homeland Security shall "[p]ublicize the findings of the General Assembly stressing the… Continue

A new company has started up - a company that will rescue and care for pets once their owners are Raptured away. Christians, take note - this is no joke. Just as it says on the official Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA Web site, this is serious.



Have you ever wondered who will care for your pets once you are joined with your maker in Heaven? Well, now you can put your mind at ease. For a small fee, you can rest easy knowing that the fine folks at Eternal Earth-Bound Pets will rescue and… Continue

Greetings, Trina! I notice you haven't been active at Atheist Nexus lately. <sigh> Sometimes it can seem a bit fragmented, with different groups for every interest. Please consider a group for socializing, where we talk about whatever's on our minds, Hang With Friends. :D You might feel more at home.

Trina, if you listen to the video again it might be clearer to what Yasser is saying. Yasser George is an exMuslim originally from Saudi Arabia.

This is what Yasser told me about why he made the video:
"the main purpose of the video is to let muslims know that we were actually muslims, because muslims still believe that we are an israelis spies sent by the mosad to mislead them."

As you can hear he refers to Mecca as "one of the worst places of all" and said that he is ready to fight for the Atheists rights. He said in the video that "if anyone here knew that I am an Atheist or an ExMuslim I would definitely be executed. It's a huge crime here. You cannot pass that area if you were not a Muslim". He also says: "I really encourage other Atheist exMuslims to prove their points and have the guts to come here and let others know that they were exMuslims one day."

Hi Trina, did you see the videos yet? If so, do you plan to make an article about them?

Hi Trina,

I have two videos of Atheism in Saudi Arabia. I'm trying to promote them, but I haven't been getting enough responses from it. Here are the two videos:

Hi Trina,

I did hit that button, but it kept coming back telling me I was not signed in. So then I just tried the Reply and got the same message and after signing in again about 3 times it worked. Maybe it's my computer (or the person operating it) Look forward to meeting you.
