Do Very Religious People Scare You?

Do religious people scare you?

Do their actions or their mannerisms raise the hair on the back of your neck?

A few years ago I saw a well known TV Preacher at a national political convention.

He had his "entourage" with him. I guess that’s the nice way of saying, “pack” like a pack of wolves.

The "vibrations" they gave off were the kind that made a person become very "vigilant." I’m saying that because these are the feelings I was… Continue

If you’re horny and you know, it’s too damn bad…so says God

Seems that the bible pounders just want to control every aspect of your life.

They even want to know what you’re doing in your bedroom.

Funny thing is, they don’t want the government to pry into their business.

But because “God” is on their “side” they assume they have the right to stick their noses into everyone personal and private business.

It’s the same with the abortion issue.

They honestly believe it’s their duty to… Continue

The United States was not "Founded" as a "Christian Country"

I am an American.

On top of that I am also a Texan.

I was born in Texas and can trace my family coming to Texas in the 1850’s.

Most of my family came from the United Kingdom. The rest came from Europe.

Some have been in the United States since the early 1700’s. Some fought in the American Revolution against England.

For what I can tell, they all were “Christians” of some sort or another.

I am an Atheist.

I’ve been an Atheist since the age of six.…

The Military Secular Atheist Agnostic Freethinker Prayer

Something was brought to my attention a bit ago. Some Republican politician is trying to get a "Christian" prayer thing passed that says anything with a payer in the military has to be "Christian" or something along those lines...

Yet again another Goodie Two Shoes is trying to jack with the military because they think they can.

So, I have offered up my own prayer.....

I call it:

The Military Secular Atheist… Continue

Let’s REGRESS…not PROGRESS!

I live in Texas.

I’ve always been an atheist.

All my life I’ve had to put up with these bible pounding clowns who think their “Manure” does not stink.

Well it does.

I’ve seen these clown just ruin a college.

At first there were no preachers on the Board of Regents.

Then one day there was one.

Then two.

The next thing you knew all the Regents were preachers.

That lead to the demise of the college.

It lost it’s… Continue

The "Religious" Police met their match and "She" ain't happy...

I’ve been told that Saudi Arabia is the most sexually repressed countries in the world. I believe it.

A friend of mine who is a women set up a page on one of the social networking sites. The company has sites around the world. She did it as a lark. A joke. On languages she spoke she checked almost every box listed. She was a little creative with her profile and picture.

She toyed with it for a few days and went off to do something else. Well she came back to check it after about a… Continue

Pole-Dancing Miss USA a Conundrum for Muslims

Pole-Dancing Miss USA a Conundrum for Muslims

Why?

This is America.

Pictures of her competing in a Detroit radio’s station’s “Stripper 101” pole dancing contest held in 2007 have hit the net.

Okay so she won the thing. She got her own stripper pole and adult toys.

Honestly, she sounds like my kinda girl…

So she came here as a baby. She attended a “Christian” school but celebrates both… Continue

My Response to National Prayer Day.....

In response to the National Day of Prayer, or rather, the National Day of “Trying to do something without actually doing anything” I offer up a,

“National Atheist and Freethinkers Day of SLEEPING IN!”

Instead of people ruining their knees by kneeling on them all day long….

Instead of people prostrating themselves on the floor and getting dirty…

Instead of people… Continue

Ten Commandments but not 610 Jewish Commandments.....

Sarah Falin...er…Palin was being interviewed and said something to the effect that the United States laws were based on the Ten Commandments.

This only proves that the quality of the American Education system is in very bad need of repair.

And to think that this individual could have been a heart beat away from the Presidency.

Now, mind you I know this women is out to make a buck.

She does not care what she says.

She does not… Continue

IS IT JUST ME OR........

It seems that my face book account has been closed. They won’t tell me why. However, on their “Ask” page it does list some things. But nothing to indicate as to why my account was closed.

Now, I’ve not stalked anyone.

I’ve not threatened anyone.

I have however, been threatened for my lack of religious “beliefs.”

I just wonder if those individuals had their accounts closed as well?

Now did I post thing like I post on here?

Yes.

I had one picture that was… Continue

Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition boys!

Well now it looks like the Gun Toating Bible Pounders got busted by the FBI because they were planning a “revolt” to “save” America.

But fortunately, we were saved from them. For the time being that is.

Might I go out on a limb here and wonder if Sarah Palin is their poster girl?

And just why do they think (I’m using that term loosely) they have the right to “save” us?

I sure didn’t.

And I’m a vet.…

I’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE LIBERAL PRESS AND THE PROGRESSIVES IN THIS COUNTRY

Ok so there are those against having health care for everyone in the United States.

They have it in England, Germany, France, Canada, and a whole list of others.

Of course, there are those who in those countries who do not like it. Then they just need to pay for their own coverage.

Funny thing is, having been in the insurance game the first thing you learn is that there will be someone who’ll call up and tell you they are tired of their employer’s health care plan. They… Continue

It's time to put the American Citizen FIRST!

My former business partner died about 4 weeks ago. She had been fighting cancer for over 15 years.

Due to a third rate doctor and an HMO, she was misdiagnosed and nickel and dimed to death for years by them.

But HMO’s are very proven experts in the “Nickel and Dime” game.

I use to be in the insurance business back in the mid 1990’s.

It was the “Seniors” market. Medicare and Long Term Care.

Many people switch to the HMO’s for the “free” insurance.

Most of them had… Continue

BIG BROTHER or BIG PRIEST?

A couple of centuries ago, a group of people had enough of their government’s official religion so they packed up and moved. They tried one or two different places. They were ok but they just didn’t seem to fit the bill.

So they decided to move further away. In fact, they decided to put a whole ocean between them and the rest of the world. Or the world as they knew it. Well they didn’t load up the “truck and move to Beverly….” like the… Continue

When down and out, hungry, in shock, and at a mental low point offer them a “bone.”

I’m amazed how religions offer help but use it to “convey” their message. The “Evangelicals” are off to Haiti to bring help and so on. Personally, I think that’s great. In fact, I want them to stay there and don’t come back.

Now most of the people of Haiti are Catholic. I know that just upsets the likes of Pat Robertson. Why? I would think that they don’t get his show there. And since they might not get his show he can’t tap them for some… Continue

ASK ANY RELIGIOUS LEADER AND THEY TELL YOU THE MONEY'S NOT IN THE PLATE BUT IN THE WALLET

A few years ago a friend and I were driving out in the country and found a nice little town to check out. We were just killing some time, checking out the towns history, some of the shops and it’s history. It was settled back in the 1800’s by mostly German immigrants.

Of course there were the ever present churches. This is the Bible Belt. My friend is ¾ American Indian and while raised a Catholic follows her American Indian ancestors… Continue

Even in prison you can't get away from them...

I’ve had a couple of friend who worked as prison guards.

Mostly they work at the “State” level but also one who works on the Federal level. Reading this news article just made me laugh.

A convicted rapist is an atheist. He's also open about it. At least the guy is straight forward about being an atheist.

You get a lot of prisoners who “find God” as a way to buy favor and make themselves look good to various groups and the parole boards.

If only my… Continue

Preacher Jealous of a Real and Successful Entertainer

Rev. Fred Phelps, hungry for any press vis-a-vis attention has yet again made another outlandish statement.

I guess they all want to be the next Falwell or Robertson or Olsteen.

I kind of equate them to famous rock stars.

It's just that Robertson, Olsteen and the late (not late enough) Falwell come across as wanna be rock stars in the religious entertainment industry.

They have their TV shows, they have their big audiences, they have… Continue

Naner Naner Boo Boo I can get some but a Priest can’t…

I’ve been pondering this for a couple of hours and I thought I’d post it here. I’d like to see what your response to this subject is.

Here is the point I’m pondering:

Why does the Catholic Church condemn Homosexuality as going against nature? Or should I say considers it a “sin?” Now there are those who are not Catholic who say that Homosexuality is not “natural” as well. Okay fine I can deal with that.

But.

The Catholic Church requires it’s Priests and Nuns to be… Continue
