Gallup's Mirror commented on Matthew's blog post 'Seen a FB about Tornados today in KS and OK.'"For any Christian TA member about to supply it: I know about the stations of the cross, thank you. The numerous, life-sized Jesuses all proceeding around in a slow grind are funny no matter what hallucinated supernatural purpose you have for putting…"
Gallup's Mirror commented on Matthew's blog post 'Seen a FB about Tornados today in KS and OK.'"Is that a whole squad of Jesuses, each in various states of walking, falling down, and getting up, walking in a circle around it?
It's like some kind of fucked-up mill.

Holo Gram commented on Matthew's blog post 'Seen a FB about Tornados today in KS and OK.'"The issue is not whether people believe or don't believe in god or miracles, its about their stupidity. After a tornado destroyed half of Lubbock, Texas and Texas Tech in 1970, killing many, a professor there stated that every building within…"
Diane commented on Matthew's blog post 'Seen a FB about Tornados today in KS and OK.'"I was bracing myself for this inevitable idiocy. On the other hand, seeing footage of that tornado that hit Moore, it made sense to me how ancient man would have thought tornadoes were from a wrathful and omnipotent deity. "
Ron Humphrey commented on Matthew's blog post 'Seen a FB about Tornados today in KS and OK.'"It is just such statements as this which should make everyone question belief in such a god.
I have heard survivors attribute their survival to a miracle from god. Well, where was the miracle for those killed. Don' t tell me that…"

- Why are you here?
- I have only been an Athiest since April 08, but was questioning my faith and religion in general for years and finally made up my mind that god most likely does not exist. I have been happier ever since I made that decision even at personal cost of friendships to me.
I am here because at least I wont get judged here for not believing in a god.

"Over 20 people killed but THANK GOD my family was spared!"....So what about the other families? Should they also thank god to have family members killed by violent storms? DOES NOT make any sense to me!

I wrote this essay and the first whole rough draft is due on wed. I was wondering what you all thought of it? I am looking for content criticism in this, but any constructive crit is good.…

My retirement from the military is coming soon. I have been studiously removing all mentions of god from everything that i can, no chaplain (been asked several times in that). I am only trying to keep it as military as possible without the relgious clap trap that is infused with EVERYTHING in our fucking culture.
Which brings me to my point of this blog. I am writting my speech and I have few things that I am writting about. I first off want to bring this…
