It's never easy to lose a friend (furry or otherwise). Good idea with the video though - that was a nice tribute.
... and I'm glad you're not trying to bargain with ceiling cat on this one :)
Suffering from the hangover of my religious upbringing, I threw off the yoke of myths and legends and embraced the idea of a majestic, impersonal universe.
Phew!!

High School grad, some college........ could never afford the degree.
Hey joeyess! Would like to talk to my fellow atheist kansans. I will be 56 this aug 3oth. I think to celebrate I am going to be braver, but never preachy, about MY beliefs! I have spent enough of my life smiling and nodding like I agree with what someone is saying when I may not agree at all. I have secondary multiple sclerosis and I tolerate the sheeple saying god will protect me. I have always been an atheist except for the short time I tried to make my grandma happy by going to Sunday school when I was about 6. Although I did like the cookies and games. Then there was the very short time I went to church with a friend in high school. We rode the school bus together and she was determined I would see the light. I don't think she ever realized the more she talked the more comfortable I was staying put. My dad was an atheist, but I don't remember that word ever being used. He always said that was something everyone should figure out for themselves. He died 23 years ago, he would have liked the internet. Later, Dianna

Hey! Check this site out for more info on local freethought groups.: http://www.kcfreethinkers.org/
Please contact me if you have any questions and I hope to see you at some of these meetings.
Love to get together sometime, perhaps you could attend one of the local freethought meetings we have at local coffee shops. We go out to drink every so often as well. BTW...the song you have playing on your page is awesome...seriously, not just saying that. Did you write it?
It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
