“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
Have you made your preparations?
Are you sure?
Is EVERYthing really ready, in case Jesus actually does come back and takes all TrueChristians™ to heaven with him?
Well, what about your pets? If you have taken it upon yourself to feed and care for an animal, trained him to come at your beck and call, forced him [...]
There was a billboard posted.
It offended a few folks and the billboard was taken down. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Imagine if someone asked for all those offensive religious billboards to be taken down? Why is it that religious folks get to be all offended and upset, but nobody is supposed to say [...]
Dammit.
I’m in a pissy mood. Too many bills, not enough money, and it’s making me crazy.
Grrrrrr….
But, as always, there are things I can do (and AM DOING). I just hate that everything takes time. There’s been good months and not-so-good months. January was excellent. February and March, not so much. And now it [...]
Okay, so I went and did a walk this morning. Actually, I decided I might try something different just to make sure I walk — I went to market and picked up just enough fresh fruits for a couple days — apples, oranges, and bananas — along with a small pack of tortillas (instead of [...]
Yes, it is Thursday. Yippee!
In spite of my day full of walking and soreness, it was after 1:00 this morning that I could actually fall asleep, even though I went to bed before Jay Leno’s monologue was over (around 10:45). I just lay there, dozing off, and one leg or another would bounce up [...]
Woke early, got a good breakfast, and left in time to catch the bus for jury duty. It was about a 30 minute walk to get the bus downtown, and I was moving quickly to be sure I wouldn’t miss the bus. I walked more quickly than I normally do.
Got there just a couple minutes [...]
Well, dang. I was wondering where the kittens were off to. I knew Tinkerbell had been injured somehow a couple weeks ago, walking with a limp, looked like his hip had been shoved up onto his back, but he wouldn’t let me close enough to actually see anything. He stayed hidden. Twinkie was more exploring [...]
There was an interesting thread on one of the atheist-agnostic forums, where a believer came to ask (politely) why non-believers don’t believe. And there were a lot of reasonable answers, mostly dealing with “because there’s no evidence to support believing.” And then a corresponding thread was just opened to ask the original poster of the [...]
Today, throughout most of the Christian community, Easter is being celebrated. That means they are celebrating the time when Jesus rose from the dead, came out of his tomb, saw his shadow, and declared we shall have six more weeks of Lent.
No, seriously, the Christian Church borrowed the resurrection myth from earlier times [...]
What a quandary! My regular Friday evening TV shows aren’t on this evening (damn stupid basketball shit), and then I discover that “Titanic”, “The Sound of Music”, and “The Wizard of Oz” are simultaneously showing on various channels. Sheesh. How does one choose?
Whatever. I can just chill out and knit on my socks. So [...]
What?
According to this video:
ex-christian atheists don’t exist. The premise is that if you walk with someone, talk with someone, hangout with someone, you can’t rationally turn around and say that that someone doesn’t exist.
But the problem is that JESUS DOES NOT EXIST. You ignorant deluded woman, you have NEVER met Jesus, never [...]
Hmmm… this article: Is Atheism Getting a Free Pass? there is the charge that broadcast and print media are subjecting religion, especially Christianity, to scrutiny not given to atheism.
One quote from the article:
“Whether deliberately or not, the news media did not subject atheism or atheists to the same skepticism to which they subject Christians and [...]
Dammit I hate when people don’t know the difference.
I just saw another ProActiv commercial, with Jennifer Love Hewitt. She’s a fun young actress, stars on Ghost Whisperer, and I know she doesn’t write the script she is paid to learn and recite. Whatever. It makes her look stupid to be forced to speak [...]
I had a dickens of a time getting to sleep last night. Went to bed feeling tired, but was up again at 10:00, watched the news, a Jeopardy rerun, and 2 episodes of Frasier before actually feeling able to go to bed and sleep around midnight. Then up again at 5:00 with a twinge of [...]
Fundagelical christians are fucking stupid.
So if atheists want to be treated as intelligent adults, then they need to start speaking from knowledge rather than ignorance. They also need to stop making foolish & contradictory statements with no proof for them.That’s a sure way to look foolish. Otherwise, there are only 3 options when dealing with [...]
Good morning!
Went to be relatively early, slept until about 5:30. Good. Good.
It is mostly cloudy this morning, but we’re supposed to reach a record high (84°F) today. Wow. Good day for trying to do laundry. I expect a short shipment of yarns this afternoon, so I hope to be able to dye over [...]
Most everyone knows that I am gay. I’ve been gay all my life, although because of church and military, I tried to be conformed to “standardized expectations”. Didn’t work. Still gay. Whatever.
One of the biggest arguments from religion is that “animals aren’t gay”, and that “only rebellious sinful humans choose [...]
Okay, so I’ve ranted about funda-gelical Christians before and the irrational belief that if you don’t believe in Jesus, and believe it just exactly the way the TrueChristian™ tells you it should be believed, that somehow you (and I) are not only destined for an eternal hell and torment, but that we deserve nothing else.
And, [...]
