Otherwise the punch bowl conversation at the company…"

ZachsMind replied to Bennett Reid Golden's discussion 'Seriously?! An Atheist Temple?!'"It is an absurd notion. Being an absurdist, I applaud it.

Gideon Jagged replied to Bennett Reid Golden's discussion 'Seriously?! An Atheist Temple?!'"This idea of a Temple fuels the erroneous notion of believers that Atheism, Humanism, and Science are just other forms of belief, no different than their own.
A profoundly bad idea.

Senate hearings regardling Muslims
Posted on March 11, 2011 at 3:00pm 0 Comments 1 Like
Senate hearings, really? Has anyone read a book and see something about internment camps and Japanese during WW2? Oh wait, I'm sorry, the 'enemy'. Come the fuck on, this is simply ridiculous. Clearly this is another witch hunt bordering on the McCarthyism for a new era.
