Joann Brady replied to Matt Thomas's discussion 'BE OFFENDED!!'""respect" for each others religion is a get-out-of-jail-free card that the religious use among themselves. If they claim to respect each other's beliefs, they do not have to defend them in any way. As atheists we need to call them out…"
Joann Brady replied to Ghost The Smoker's discussion 'When do you think people will finally start to understand atheism?'"Oh yeah.............that whole "true Christian" thing. Trouble is, there is no consensus on just what that is! In fact, your so called holy book has spawned no less that 38 THOUSAND different flavors of christians many (if not…"
Joann Brady replied to Chuck Smith's discussion 'Help me Help my kid!'"Well, I am not in high school any more, so I don't know if it would work for her, but when people ask me why I don't believe, I simply say......because there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever for the existence of any…"

Joann Brady replied to Sunil khullar's discussion 'Rational Thinking an artists handicap' in the group Atheist Artists"Well, the works of MC Escher come immediately to mind. I would hazard a guess that he had a thinking process that involved a lot of engineering, math and rationality.........just add your creativity to your thinking process and see what you…"
Joann Brady commented on Anna Silva's blog post 'So who or what created the universe?'"I guess I have a problem with the whole idea of "something from nothing" Who says there was nothing? Who even knows what "nothing" is? Aren't scientists currently working on an idea that involves waves…"

Joann Brady replied to Unseen's discussion 'What do you dislike about Mitt Romney?'"for me, its all about the magic underwear. I just have a real problem with the president of the worlds greatest super power, wearing and believing in magic underwear."
Joann Brady replied to Sean O' Byrne's discussion 'Atheism, fertility and declining birthrates.'"It seems that most religions convince their "sheep" that the best way to insure their eventual take-over of the world involves populating it, rather than converting it. Muslims, Mormons, & Catholics all preach this........catholic…"
Joann Brady replied to Dustin's discussion 'Should the man be the head of the household?'"the idea of women being submissive to men is entirely religious. The god that was invented by men wants men to have control.
I personally believe that if there was a creator god of the entire universe who…"
Joann Brady replied to Lorraine's discussion 'Why should we respect others' beliefs?'"I think that religion should be mocked and ridiculed at every opportunity. Unfortunately, religious believers often cannot separate themselves from their beliefs, and they take it personally."
Joann Brady replied to Daniel's discussion 'Am I being a Dick?'"I guess I think the Santa thing is OK because we KNOW we are going to tell then the truth by the time they are 7 or so, if they haven't figured it out for themselves ( or an older sibling hasn't told them). The Jesus thing is supposed to…"
Joann Brady replied to Carol Foley's discussion 'I've been asked to speak to Christian children about atheism.'"I would point out the many dying resurrecting man-gods of history and the similarities among them. There is little, if anything original in the Jesus story.

Judeao Christian Values
Posted on June 20, 2011 at 9:48pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
I recently had an argument with my sister who is a fundie, about our country being/not being founded on "Judeao Christian values". I would like to discuss it further, but she already called me a bigot for not entertaining this fantasy, so I thought maybe some of you could help me out.
What exactly ARE Judeao Christian values anyway? Does that term mean the same thing to everybody, or is it like their god, and everybody has a different idea about it? On what do they base the…

I have been an atheist or about a year now, and have described myself as a born again evangelical atheist, by which I mean that I am one of those in your face atheists. I do not generally bring up the subject, but when people say unfounded often stupid things about gods, I typically jump down their throats. Often, the only card or at least the final card that they play is to demand that I…
Continue How I became a Born again Evangelical Athiest
Posted on June 23, 2009 at 11:42am 8 Comments 0 Likes
Let me begin by explaining what I mean by born again evangelical atheist. By born again, I refer to a definite point in time that ended all discussion of the existence of a god for me. It was an “aha” moment, much like born again Christians describe in their conversion process. For me it was a moment when I finally said “That’s it! I am done with god”. By evangelical I mean that I feel it is my moral obligation to relieve the world of its current god based delusions. I believe that the future… Continue

Christopher McGuire said… - Wow, I just finished your story, and I'm amazed. It seems us atheists from the north have the worst luck in the world... I don't have a full story as you do, just a brief overview in the comments on "Whose life sucks and why? Give me your perspective!" Also, just for clarification, I'm from Michigan, but right now I'm stuck in Arkansas for a little while. Glad to make your acquaintance, and I hope your problems work themselves out well. ~Maggie

- Thanks for your story on the "My Story" thread. It's quite different from mine (ardent skeptic before teenage) but very interesting! (I agree that it would make a great book!) There is more than one pathway to enlightenment. And hey, we're all swimming upstream to get there! Rob

- *grin* You can indeed.

- Sure thing. First, use cut-and-paste to copy your post into notepad or the like on your system, so you'll have it handy. Next, mouse over the 'Blogs' entry on the menu bar at the top of the T|A page, and choose 'Write a Blog' from the dropdown list. This'll take you to the Add a Blog page. Type in a title, like 'My Conversion Story' or whatever you like, then cut-and-paste your post into the Entry section. Finally, click on Publish Post, and you're done.

- Your story was fine, Joann. I would like it if you could cut and paste it into a blog post, as I would like to feature it, and comments (as opposed to blogs) cannot be featured.
