Hobert Church replied to Michael Daniel Kirkland's discussion 'Atheists Listening to Christian Hardcore Music'
"I still listen to, and sing (scream?) along. I don't really think about it, honestly. I enjoy the music and they're my ears, so everyone else can fuck off. Just my opinion, though."

Hobert Church replied to Lorraine's discussion 'Why should we respect others' beliefs?'
"I have run into this problem numerous times with my religious friends, and the solution we've worked out is that I respect them as a person, but I do not respect their beliefs. If they begin telling me about their religious experiences and…"

How Do You Keep It Together?

I don't know about anyone else, but ever since I became an atheist, I have felt the overwhelming urge to defend, support and encourage atheism every chance I get, and it's getting to be very tiring.  I spend so much of my time researching, whether it's different religious beliefs and why people subscribe to them, watching debates online to mark effective counter-arguments, or getting my Facebook friends into a frenzy because I post atheist shit online.  My question is, does anyone else feel…See More

On Being an Insufferable Asshole.....

Posted on August 26, 2011 at 5:55pm 51 Comments

It has often been remarked by people that I have offended along the way of my journey towards atheism that I am an asshole.  An insufferable, miserable, misanthropic, cynical, surly asshole.  Mind you, these are all adjectives that I would indeed use to describe myself at times, so I have to wonder if maybe there isn't a ring of truth to these accusations.  You see, I, as one theist remarked on another forum, "have absolutely no concept of sanctity".  This is true.  I do not believe that any…

Why the Christian God is Impossible

By Chad Docterman

Taken from:

The Atheist Soapbox (a web-page that has now been taken down)
