Southern Baptists Fundie Students

I had two SBF students walk out of my class the other day when we had a discussion about the rights of the mother vs the rights of the unborn. They said such discussion was "just wrong." They also sent angry e-mails when I talked about the oppression of homosexuals in America.

HOWEVER... their strong moral convictions did not keep them from cheating on today's test.

At this juncture, the incident struck me more as predictable than ironic!

Things to be thankful for.

One cool thing that made this a really cool year was my trip to the Texas Freethought convention in Dallas. Just a short five hour drive for us in Oklahoma. Good food and great entertainment.


I encourage all freethinkers to try and attend a meeting that is close to them. It does not matter if the its a…

Mondo Diablo Episode 284: Vomit Collector's Christmas





Welcome to your Atheist Christmas Podcast for the Year of Our Overlords, 2010. This year, I'm looking back at Christmas past. "Your past" you ask? No, long past. Looooong past. Go back, back, back before that cloudy April when some guy who may have been named Jesus but decidedly didn't perform any miracles and wasn't born of a virgin and may or may not have been a prophet or a rabbi, and may or may not… Continue

"Spontaneous Evolution" Maybe one day, but still just not real. More not science.

I was writing and playing with picasa web albums some, and came across the site for Dr. Bruce Lipton's latest book, Spontaneous Evolution. I also wrote these words on this cat picture. You can do unicorn stickers and stuff too.



Something is certainy ridiculous. Read on:…

Can you talk for a bit about some of the lyrical themes on the album?

It’s a slew of topics. “Live And Live Again” is sort of my thoughts on evolution. It’s just shocking to me that people have such a hard time swallowing that theory…

Thankful







I wanted to take a moment before everyone gets involved in their personal, real life.Thanksgiving Day endeavors to say I'm just plain ol' thankful; for nothing in particular but everything and everyone everywhere... and because I woke up again this morning, to appreciate all of this.



We all have a lot to be thankful for and so much that we take for granted. Our biggest worries might be hoping there will be enough chairs to… Continue

A thought on The Genius of C. Darwin presented by Richard Dawkins

I was watching The Genius of Charles Darwin presented by Richard Dawkins and in it he interviews various people who, for one reason or another, refuse to accept the theory of evolution. During one interview, a devout Christian man, said that he did not believe in evolution because he cannot see it. Richard Dawkins argues that just because you can not see gravity, does not mean that you will not fall if you jump from a window. I was dumbfounded by the back and forth between them because… Continue

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:37pm 0 Comments

There is a video of the Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film.  The man isn't demon possessed, there are likely no 'real' demons.  He's just delusional and doesn't want to accept personal responsiblity for his own behavior for his own dysfunctional life.

Do you support 'traditional' marriage, vot now ad

Posted by Debra Stevenson on May 21, 2013 at 2:28pm 1 Comment

There is an ad that reads ' Do you support 'traditional' marriage? Vote Now"!  .

 

 

No, I don't support 'traditional' marriage because there is no such thing. I support heterosexual and same-sex couples marry each other legally , yes.  'Traditional' marriage promoters largely do not believe that heterosexual women are co-equal to their husbands.  Their only purpose in 'traditional' marriage is to sexually satisfy their husbands if they can and raise children and do all…

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…
