I'm glad you're fighting for animal rights but I hope you realize that some people are never going to agree with you. They just are not coming from a humane place and really don't care to be. Sometimes it is best to finally say that everybody is entitled to his or her opinion and enough has been said about it.
There's a 6 member Vegan Atheist group. If kyou're looking for company among the rare. Actually I run across vegan descriptions every day while looking for people to invite to the group, but y'all don't seem to get together so much.
Heh heh heh. Yeah, the place was freaking dead before Bruce showed up.
He responded to Asharu's post, calling her out on details, such as only 2% of all convicted rapists serving jail time ... and then she went ballistic, engaging in personal attacks and long, emotional diatribes, rather than arguing back rationally and conceding points where she may have been wrong.
... and then I get labeled a troll-enabler, for supporting rational discourse. What a freaking madhouse.
Without Bruce's contribution, Asharu's post would have prompted a few pats on the back and responses of, "Amen, sing it, sister," and the group would be completely dead again, right now.
Are we women SO fucking defenseless we need protection from WORDS now?? Sorry, I'm just NOT that much of a victim.
Thanks. I was contemplating saying something similar, but I hadn't yet. Good to hear the same thing from someone else. The women outnumber the men vastly, and yet some of them are whining about being dominated, or some such. Freaking unbelievable. Feminists are supposed to have a pair of their own.
Hi
Welcome to Atheist Nexus with its 9000 good friends and discussion groups.
Among the groups, may I suggest trying the busy group “ORIGINS: Universe, Life, Humans, Evolution, Religion.....” with its 130 commonsense discussions to repel religious nonsense. You will be welcome.
One discussion is "Proud to be Atheist" (74 posts) seeing that atheists and humanists hold the intellectual high ground compared with the pathetic superstitions of the god followers.

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…
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.

No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
for once you and I can agree on something. We should disrespect beliefs that are untenable such as the belief that there is no God. Indeed for me to respect you Jason, I cannot respect your belief in non-belief in atheism. Your atheism comes across as arrogrance, smugness, and self righteous. Indeed after reading "An Open Letter to My Religious Friends" I penned one…

Saw your comment - "No one 'needs' animal protein, so lets leave those animals alone". Very nice to read that.I am a huge animal lover.
Thanks Pamela! I got your request and accepted it.

In Durham you probably knew Robin Skeates.
