Big Bad Wisconsin Atheist
From time to time to I'll republish content from my blog at AN.
I am quite literally the village atheist, writing in a very socially conservative apart of south-eastern Wisconsin. To members of ex-christian.com, you'd may know me as "Quicksand" there.

Lakeland Supply I-94 Religious Display
You may have seen these on eastbound I-94. The owner of Lakeland Supply is an evangelical Christian who likes to proselytize to the helpless passerby's and commuters.A few years ago, the Journal Sentinel even did a story on him.I live now in Oconomowoc and have to commute to New Berlin everyday.Well for the last few weeks he has posted a sign in another clueless attempt to demonstrate his faith.

Everlasting Life?
Posted on July 26, 2011 at 4:30am 2 Comments 0 Likes
One of the great assets that religion has is its promise of everlasting life after death. Whether it is an eternity in hell or heaven, reincarnation, our lives (for the price of belief and submission to a system of subsequent beliefs) can be continued after death.

In sunday school, I was taught that God had given humanity a handful of non-negotiable laws that must be obeyed. These laws were the Ten Commandments, of course. In my adolescence, I had believe these ten laws were reasonable and if the adults in my life had insisted I follow them uncritically, I quite naturally did so without question. Incidentally, this is the exactly the type of faith that is often encouraged today -- the faith of a child -- obedience without question. We were praised for… Continue
