A film with you guys in mind
I'm working on a film project at the moment that I started because I wanted a film that expressed the difficulties of being an atheist. I thought this group was the most fitting to share this in. Its basically an extreme version of my own experiences. Synopsis:Kane is a highly opinionated atheist…

Atheist Paradise
Here's food for thought. I live in Alabama and love the weather in thesouth. I DO NOT like the cold. However, sometimes I have pipe dreamsabout leaving this backwards state (all of you know the many reasons forgetting away from the close-minded south). I would love to find a moreliberal,…

Do you guys/girls think "In God we trust" should be remove from U.S. money?
Granted, it's a cumbersome issue and it was added then (on paper money) to distinguish us from the "Godless Communist", but at this point isn't it a bit childish. Most Christians respond with "Oh, it's a good thing, it's what makes us number one", or "Why can't they just leave it like it is? I…

The Belt's Too Tight
I live in a podunk town with a population of 499.The outlying towns are generally not more than three or four times as big and they all seem to repeat the same people over and over. About 90% of them are bible-thumping close-minded hypocrites, this grates on my sanity daily. I have to listen to…

Dating a christian in the south...
Does anyone else find it frustrating dating in the south? A few weeks ago a friend of mine set me up on a blind date/meeting with a friend of hers and it went great!
