He put solar panels on the White House, and Regan took them off in one of his signature brain-less moves. Good to see someone of good standing to promote the fact that religion is poison.

Oh, I LIKE Jimmy. He's probably the best former president we've ever had and has probably done more for ordinary people since he left office than Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton, and Bush 43 combined. I just wish he'd drop the other shoe and acknowledge religion for what it is.

I don't care what anyone says. Jimmy Carter was a good man. He also wrote an essay on this that was quite good.

The question is: can he recognize that religion itself IS a problem, not just for women, but for anyone who wants to think and act and not have irrational traditions spawned of religion dogging their heels?

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.

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

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

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…
