"I'm not saying I support the Boy Scouts, but I have to say I think I understand their position. It seems the main reason why people are OK with the Boy Scouts having a discriminatory stance against gays is because most parents wouldn't…"

Hey guys, I have a couple of concerns with the Boy Scouts popping up at my girlfriend's child's school. He's in the first grade, and the boy scouts came yesterday looking to recruit. He, of course,…Continue

I've worked at my current job for just over 5 years now. I've enjoyed my job, and been promoted a couple of times within the company. About a year ago, my company hired a brand new CEO. The…Continue

The link you posted is very close to the argument use by the person I talked about in this blog. So thank you for pulling what a theist usually pulls during a debate like this. Posting the same shit again. Secular…"

Point me to some actual biblical scholars (you know, people like secular university professors), not to some gung-ho pro-Christian site where the content appears to have been authored by Anonymous and "fact checked" by faculty…"

James Cox commented on Mark Hinton II's blog post 'Slavery Is Fine as Long as It Gets People Closer to God!'"The bible might be used to justify the most ugly of events or acts. Ah, 'Means To Ends' problem!
Do the means, justify the ends?"
Unseen commented on Mark Hinton II's blog post 'Slavery Is Fine as Long as It Gets People Closer to God!'"As a matter of fact, slavery can be a mercy. In Greece, when they defeated an enemy and took a prisoner, they had a choice to make. They could kill him to end the threat, they could let him go and possibly see him again on another battlefield, or…"

Onyango, I firmly agree.…"

Hey guys, I have a couple of concerns with the Boy Scouts popping up at my girlfriend's child's school. He's in the first grade, and the boy scouts came yesterday looking to recruit. He, of course, automatically assumed he was already in the boy scouts because of this. Due to their discriminatory nature, and their complete arrogance, I talked to him about how the Boy Scouts were bad because they discriminated against certain people. It was an awkward conversation, because I had to explain…See More
onyango makagutu commented on Mark Hinton II's blog post 'Slavery Is Fine as Long as It Gets People Closer to God!'"I think your friend may own a bible but has never read any of it. We have from genesis Abe owning slaves, some he gets from Egypt from his pimping expeditions to the new testament where there are instructions on how to treat slaves! How ignorant can…"

So last night, I got into a very heated, very emotional debate with someone on Facebook. In case you didn't know, that's what Facebook is for. You get on there, you find some post that some friend has put up, and you troll the shit out of it. That, obviously, is a joke, but it can sometimes be seen as truth. I took screen captures of the conversation with the woman I was "debating," but in order to keep identities private, I will not post those screen caps, even though I feel her ignorant…See More

Continue Get Off My Lawn
Posted on August 29, 2012 at 11:00am 0 Comments 1 Like
So the title of my blog today is Get Off My Lawn. The reason I have chosen to title it as such is because I feel like a sour, mean, crotchety, toothless old man in a wife beater sitting on his porch with a shotgun yelling at the neighborhood kids to "Get off my lawn!!!"
In this instance, I will assume the role of the mean old man, and I will hold that position with pride. The neighborhood kids in this instance are theists, mainly Christians. Since I am a lower…
How I Became Atheist
Posted on February 2, 2012 at 9:51pm 2 Comments 1 Like
How I came to be atheist is actually a pretty long story. I've explained it to a few people in the past, and even moreso in recent times, since reason, logic, and atheism have been more prominent in my thoughts. I'll start from as far back as I can remember, which is probably when I was 5 or 6 years old.
I grew up in a Christian family. Not all church going Christians, or "by the book" Christians, so to speak, but Christians nonetheless. My grandparents on my mother's side were…
