That's Love

After a bad day, I got to open my Valentine's Day gift early, last night. My Boy sent me a scarlet letter car decal and necklace from the Richard Dawkins Out Campaign. He explained that is appropriate for V-Day because I am the one who made him question (and lose) his faith and start looking critically at beliefs that people take for granted. Is the kid sweet, or what?

LSD + LDS?

I just finished watching "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolored Dream Coat" because my significant other had never seen it. Seriously -- What the fuck? I love this movie. It's like reading the Old Testament on acid.

Happiness is a Small Ball of Grey Fur

Happy Zombie-Jesus Day / Pagan Fertility Festival!

All Christian ceremony thievery connotations aside, Easter is my favorite holiday and I wish you all a good one!



I get totally into Easter. I make baskets for anyone who has so much as been nice to me lately. I decorate. I wear fuzzy ears. I'm even nice (read: less bitchy) to strangers. Last year my roommate, my boyfriend, and I hid somewhere between 60 and 90 eggs for each other (the last one was found more than a month later). I love Easter!



I wasn't raised to be… Continue

Life's a piece of shit when you look at it. Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.

Signing onto A|N today cheered me up a great deal, but for the reason you'd expect. It wasn't the stimulating discussions or the presence of rational people. It was actually the song on my profile. I think I just have to put "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" on repeat for the next four months.



I got bad news last night.



You see, my lover is, unfortunately, a military man. The problem with that is that the Air Force gets to decide when, where, and why he moves. Since… Continue

Unless you were raised by atheist parents, you probably had some recovering to do when you left religion. The purpose of RR is to provide a landing place for people when they jump from religion. With local support groups throughout the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, and real-time resources accessible to everyone, RR is where to turn when faith has lost its luster.See More
