Jason Ward replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"Why should we wish to live apart from the religious community? While I agree that the faithful can be, at times difficult to be around due to gratuitous expressions of faith, this is a rather small annoyance for myself. What you are suggesting is…"
Brandon Hale replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"We can overcome the daily challenge of living apart from the "religious" people by NOT living apart. Living apart from them is the problem. To create an amiable atmosphere with the religious, we have to interact with them on…"
JD Baggaley replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"Yeah it's funny how you can hang out with someone for as long as religion doesn't come up in conversation, but when you admit to being an atheist then bam. You're a different person, debating starts, and you just can't go back to…"
Joe Rivera commented on Fred's group 'In Hitchens We Trust'"Christopher Hitchens needs to stop drinking in front of the general public when making his speeches. It takes away from his fine reputation."

Brian Wood replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"I go to bars and drink with christians and I associate with them at restaurants, art galleries and museums, and everywhere else.

Allanon6666 replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"I could be wrong, but by not being aggressive, I think she meant that we shouldn't try and actively degrade another person's beliefs. It's one thing to stand up for what we believe in, it's another thing to go about…"
Rev. Chris Pagan replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"While I agree with the majority of your reply, Jenna, I would have to say that we do have to be a bit hostile towards religion. We shouldn't stand by and be pacifists when our rights are threatened, and by not being vocal and a bit aggressive…"
Jenna replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'How Can We Overcome The Daily Challenge Of Living Apart From The "Religious World"?'"You asked numerous questions throughout your post, most of which I, unfortunately, do not have answers for. It is definitely true that the United States is overall a "Christian Nation." Religion essentially surrounds us. …"
Nina van der Roos replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! WHAT DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY MEAN TO YOU?'"Well to me 4th July is the day after the 3rd July and before the 5th July - what is the big deal ?"
Jimmy Boy replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! WHAT DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY MEAN TO YOU?'"Sure - for me it means very little either. Nationalism is usually pretty ugly (as we can see on this thread). It is always ignorant, reinvents it's history, distorts, lies and presents false equivalence in its defence.
The horrible…"
Walrus T replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! WHAT DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY MEAN TO YOU?'"Sassan - this freedom drum the US beats so regularly is only accessable by a limited few dependant on race, gender, sexuality, country and culture of origin and financial capacity. Even religion.

Brian Wood replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! WHAT DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY MEAN TO YOU?'"As I would not say good things about german history, 1933-1945, I can't say good things about U.S. history 1845 to present. Empire building is a nasty business, requiring the murders of many innocents.
I love my country as I would…"
Sassan K. replied to Joe Rivera's discussion 'HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! WHAT DOES THE FOURTH OF JULY MEAN TO YOU?'"Not at all - I am in class right now so I will respond later on tonight.

NON-PROFIT, NON-THEISTS GROUPS BENEFIT ONLY THE FEW!
Posted on June 22, 2011 at 1:51pm 7 Comments 0 Likes

We definitely don't need or want THOSE kinds of "non-theists groups for us. We need, and want, a co-op type organization. An organization that everybody who gives, gets a direct benefit and equally, depending on what they give, of course. Co-ops have been used very…
