"Let us [NOT] pray" at political events

I was a little peeved by the benediction during today's Inauguration Ceremony for Barack Obama. Private prayer (though still unhelpful) is fine; but government-organized prayer is just wrong. I hope…Continue

I was a little peeved by the benediction during today's Inauguration Ceremony for Barack Obama. Private prayer (though still unhelpful) is fine; but government-organized prayer is just wrong. I hope that in my lifetime this goes away as a standard for these types of events. "One nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Thoughts?See More

Brief Thoughts on the Chick-Fil-A Issue...

If people were more concerned with secular--HUMAN--values, people wouldn't stand in line to eat shitty fast food to show their support for OPPRESSING others in the name of religion.

I wish we could live our lives for each other and not for what "happens when we die"...

I just thought I'd share. Let me know what you think of the article!

saving my rest for the grave."
This verse in "Take a Step Back" by Every Avenue reminds me of how important life is. As someone…
