Cameron replied to Gallup's Mirror's discussion 'Your favorite secular Christmas songs?'"I'd say Time Minchin's "White Wine in the Sun" and "Let it Snow" (even though that one is not really a christmas song, it always gets dragged out for the season"
Cameron commented on Steve Armitstead's blog post 'Do atheists believe in spirituality?'"I'm on a journey. A journey to find a better word that represents what many people call spiritual or numinous without having to tie it to or fight to disenthrall it from religion or superstition"

Christopher Hitchens name one moral action
"I think that the phrase "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do" was actually brought up to him once. It's in a video on youtube, but unfortunately I can neither remember which one nor what his response was"
Joe Urias replied to Cameron's discussion 'What helped you see through religion'"Logic plain and simple, i never had much faith to begin with, but after reading the the bible i felt it was composed of nothing but fairy tales and bad poetry"
Cameron replied to Noel's discussion 'Do you keep a bible?'"You know, one thing I could never figure out was whether the characters in Harry Potter were religious or not. Or if there was a wizard version of religion in there. After all, there was the whole thing about ghosts not being the person,…"
Cameron replied to Noel's discussion 'Do you keep a bible?'"Yeah, I still have a bible on my bookshelf. Like others have said, it's a great book of reference and I can always go to it when I need a reminder of why i'm an atheist. lol
Interestingly, before I fully came around to…"
Cameron replied to El Dol's discussion 'Why preachers think they can heal?'"I was listening to a catholic radio station the other day and they were talking about mental instability and suicide. It was insightful to hear them talking about their belief that the instability and the suicidal thoughts were due to the…"
Cameron replied to Beth's discussion 'Bless You'"You're welcome Kairan. It made sense to me that people would say bleshoo because it seemed like an onomatopoeic word. Someone sneezes: "achoo." Someone responds: "bleshoo" haha"
Garrett Tipton replied to Cameron's discussion 'What helped you see through religion'"Both of my parents are Fundamentalists. My mom was raised that way and my dad converted in his 30's. He was somewhat more rationally minded than my mom (he supported my interest in science while my mom was skeptical of it) and when i was seven…"
Cameron replied to Yeddie Jones's discussion 'What has the Christian Church done to you?'"It instilled a fear of embracing my sexuality and thereby helped to delay one part of my development. While everybody else was figuring out that the other sex was attractive, I was desperately praying at night to be straight because I feared I…"
Cameron replied to Beth's discussion 'Bless You'"When I was young, the way everybody around me said it made it sound like "bleshoo," which is what I used to say all the time. I thought it was so strange that it was really made up of words in the English language. I prefer a…"
Strega replied to Cameron's discussion 'What helped you see through religion'"As a small child, I thought angels were the next step up from fairies, and God was the next step up from Santa. When my brother told me Santa wasn't real, it popped all the bubbles at once. I think I was five."
Heather Spoonheim replied to Cameron's discussion 'What helped you see through religion'"On the contrary - I feel the world would be a MUCH better place if every single Christian read it through a couple times; rather than just skimming the parts to which their attention has been drawn to support some part of last Sunday's sermon."
Cameron replied to Cameron's discussion 'What helped you see through religion'"*stands up and claps*
Twice through is two times more than anyone ever needs to read through it."

People really like to post religious stuff on facebook and i'm never really sure if I should respond or not. On the one hand, it might be easier to just let it go and not care.
