"I really want this superimposed over a Humanism symbol. Immediately, I would use it as a computer wallpaper. Perhaps later, I would get it as a tattoo on my upper arm."

"This is pretty awesome. Is there any chance you could superimpose this over the Humanism symbol? That would be absolutely perfect as a wallpaper for me."

I previously wrote two blog entries detailing a couple of personal incidents that seemed, to me, to display just how pervasive and invasive indoctrination is in the minds of the religious, especially Christians (because they are the group with which I have the most experience). I decided to post the third entry as a discussion, because I want some input on a question or two related to the incident I will be describing. So, without further ado:Recently, my father has gone through a struggle…See More

Ed commented on Joshua Perkins's blog post 'The Depths of Indoctrination Part 2'"It would be a mistake to pity them. If a theist is presented with sound logic and reason and still clutches fast to Bronze Age myth I can only leave them to their folly.

I hope several people got a chance to read my first blog post. This is, obviously, the second entry in what I hope will be a long-lasting and informative blog. As per the first entry, this one will take the form of a narrative recounting an experience which, in my opinion, highlights just how far-reaching indoctrination really is. So here goes:
A couple weeks ago as of this writing, I was on Facebook chatting with a good friend of mine. It was your basic friendly banter and…
