Einstein God Letter resurfacing
When the greatest mind in our history gives his true feelings on God and religion and says "... The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses,...."
I found this on the Richard Dawkins site:

There is no one with more credibility than Albert Einstein; therefore shouldn't this letter be a major symbol of some kind to atheism around the globe?

Bummer that I don't have $3mil on hand. Thanks for posting, as I hadn't seen or heard of this letter before. I'm not sure I agree with your last sentence, but the letter is definitely valuable to refute people's claims that he was a believer.

You see what happened at the Democratic National Convention where they removed the word 'God' and 'Jerusalem the capitol of Isreal', and then the controversial live vote to change it back; makes what Einstein wrote all the more relevant. For instance:
I'd have to say it seems clear that Einstein is Athiest. He says in the letter:
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses,"
"For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."
"Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them." (when referring to the Jewish people)

i've got no problem with everyone saying "merry christmas" on christmas day. however, they've turned it into an entire holiday season where it lasts a month or more. in those situations it should be perfectly acceptable to say "happy holidays" or call it a…

My first funeral as an atheist

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…

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
