I'm an Atheist
Some featured videos on Youtube, and suprisingly I noticed an ad for it on this web site, involves the "I'm a Mormon" campaign. If you're not familiar, and I myself am only going off of memory, the Mormon church is attempting to advertize that they aren't a bunch of looney bins; just regular people. In an attempt to revamp the church's image, they have a wide range of people from varying backgrounds describe their life in one or two minutes and at the last moment...throw in that they also happen to be Mormon.
As an Atheist, I am intrigued by this idea. Atheists are extremely misunderstood and misrepresented, so why not do the same thing in the form of a wave of posts on Youtube? I am curious as to other peoples' ideas on this.
Looking forward to your thoughts!

I like the idea. How about adding adding famous people living and dead like Mark Twain?

Yeah its not a bad idea, though I get the impression (maybe its just me) that atheists are a little more apathetic when it comes to self-advertisement. Religious people seem to get off on the idea of self-promotion, at least more than atheists do, imo.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation did this with their "Out of the Closet" campaign before and during their annual conference last fall. Lots of billboards and bus ads displayed "ordinary' people from all walks of life who also happen to be atheists. Very well done. http://ffrf.org/news/releases/ffrf-debuts-out-of-the-closet/

Pope's 'exorcism' caught on film video

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

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…

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…
