"I work at a historically black college with many devout Christians, mostly Pentacostal and Baptist. God comes up almost every hour, in the usual praise or prayer: "I pray to God I ace this exam," "I thank God for passing last…"

Alejandro Mujica replied to Cheryl Pantano's discussion 'Being Atheist in the Workplace' in the group ASK AN ATHEIST"Awesome quote, totally borrowing this: "but as the saying goes, don’t shit where you eat, and the workplace is a huge cafeteria… only because you need a job…you know to eat and stuff.""
Alejandro Mujica replied to Cheryl Pantano's discussion 'Being Atheist in the Workplace' in the group ASK AN ATHEIST"Here-here! It seems that some religious people need to feel secure about the people around them, and so they think it's fine and dandy to ask such personal questions. I hope that your higher-ups are more on the (secular) level and you…"
Marcus Persius replied to Cheryl Pantano's discussion 'Being Atheist in the Workplace' in the group ASK AN ATHEIST"One short thing about x-mas.
This is just a small thing that might get x-mas a bit better and enjoyable. In Scandinavia we celebrated the Midwinter festival around the 22:nd of december before the christening of the north began. It was a celebration…"

I don't usually watch the Golden Globe Awards, but I caught Ricky Gervais's comment at the end. It was great!
"Thank God for making me an Atheist". I thought there would be a comment on the news about this, but there was not.
This is something I read on line, Ricky Gervais said;
"Why don’t I believe in God? No, no no, why do YOU believe in God? Surely the burden of proof is on the believer. You started all this. If I came up to you and said, “Why don’t you…

I stumbled upon this and thought some of you would find this amusing. Another way for the church to bring money in. This made me laugh. What will they think of next?

This House Believes
Posted on April 15, 2010 at 2:21pm 11 Comments 0 Likes
I was walking the dogs with my husband yesterday. One of the houses down the street had a sign on their door, “This House Believes”. I said, “Look they have immaginary friends, Nuts”. If I were to hang a sign on my door, “This House Does Not Believe”, I bet you this would get a reaction. Why is it okay for Christians to have their saintly statues on their lawns and signs on their doors. When a proud Atheist displays their thoughts, we…
Continue Atheist Rapture Pet Rescue
Posted on April 6, 2010 at 10:03am 2 Comments 0 Likes
I find this amusing that people will pay Atheists to "care for the pets of the righteous when the rapture comes". I guess if I were dying, I would want to find my dogs a home. To shell out $110 because your dog is not going to heaven when the rapture comes is a little crazy to me. The link is below if you want to check it out.…

Gaytor said… - Hi Cheryl. My name is Gaytor and I'm a moderator here at TA. I'm checking out the Muse Music Video that you have put up and I'm inclined to disapprove it. We have tried to generally keep music video's off our video page because with 5000 members we will get some that are fanatics about certain groups or types of music and then we never get to content, or content gets buried.
What you could do is start a discussion about the song and why it moves you. I have a post on free thought songs for people to put up their favorites (not wanting to be self-serving but there may be songs there that you like) as well. So unless a song has some specific reference to free thought (the spirit of this song fits) we aren't allowing them for now. I hope the you understand and I have personally appreciated your participation in the site since you have joined. Let me know if you have any questions.
