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
His name is Boggart (it's a mischief making household faerie indigenous to Scotland) and he's six weeks old. Since moving to Shreveport, Louisiana almost a month ago, things have been rough to say the least. It's to effing hot, there's nothing to do except gamble at the casinos (where I couldn't go even if I wanted to, because you're allowed to smoke in them), the job market SUCKS, and I swear these people aren't even trying to speak English.… Continue

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!

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

Easton Le commented on Debra Stevenson's blog post Some Wiccans and their seeking approval from Christians"I suppose in regions of the country where Christianity is a major influence in local culture working towards a level of acceptance would be in Wicca's best interest.

Loren Miller replied to matthew greenberg's discussion Pope Francis says even Atheists go to Heaven"Hmmm, an outreach to atheists from the pope?

Recovering from Religion
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
