Ralph Oswald commented on Shamari's blog post 'So lonely as an atheist...'"Shamari, glad to meet you!
I'm kind of fortunate that my best friend at work is agnostic, so she doesn't become offended when I rant. There is at least one other atheist at work, too, but he only works part-time. I'm also…"
Ralph Oswald replied to Keath Vickery's discussion 'My gf doesn't believe atheists should come out. Need help'"Nelson,
This is an excellent choice as a reply. I watched this the other day. Greta gets an A+ for laying out the most egregious of religious transgressions in modern times in a concise, clear and spirited manner.
Keith,
Sit your…"

"Just finished watching this. These people are truly frightening. I really wish the girls/women here would have taken the next step in critical thinking and examined why they still believe.
I noticed that no boys/men were portrayed in the…"
Ralph Oswald replied to Helen Pluckrose's discussion 'My father believes I should pretend to be a Christian?'"Your responsibility is to teach your child the truth, to the degree that you understand it. If you don't believe in a god, why would you want anyone to teach your child about something which you don't believe exists? It's bad enough…"
Ralph Oswald replied to Jared's discussion 'It came from FACEBOOK! Crazy things your friends have posted on Facebook about faith that drive you nuts.'"I'd like to find a picture of Crusaders sacking cities of the "Holy Land", with depictions of rape and murder of the civilians. Just to point out the hypocrisy in that kind of thinking.
I hadn't really thought about it before,…"

Profile Information
- Your Religious Status
- Atheist
- About Me:
- OK, this is just some generic info grabbed from one of my other profiles. But basically it just a bunch of labels that people like to apply to the boxes we fit.
Composer, Musician, Atheist, Secular Humanist, Philosopher (ha ha! Yeah, right!), Socialist. Divorced.
Writing, recording and performing music. Reading books, mainly Science Fiction and Historical Fiction. Not really all that much into Non-fiction, unless it's about music production or performing. That said, I am looking at some NF in an effort to inform (but not to color or define) my views.
I've know for several years that I was atheistic (not as a belief system, but as a lack of belief in any theistic deity and p.o.v.), but it wasn't until I met my ex-wife that I honestly defined or labeled myself as an atheist. I also find that I am becoming increasingly anti-theistic. Religions have sent millennia, proving that they are destructive to society, to our world, and to humanity.
That should be enough for anyone to know.

- Why are you here?
- I want to connect with people who think in similar terms as I do. To talk to people who don't need to attribute those ideas that we don't necessarily comprehend to a deity.
- The religion you left
- Catholic, Was never a part of one
- Why you left your religion.
- "God" is a creation of man, borne out of man's lack of understanding of natural forces. I need empirical evidence to believe in something. Religion does not offer proof of anything; all the religious can offer is: "You can't prove that 'God' doesn't exist" and "It's about faith." I have faith in mankind's ability to overcome adversity and transcend many of our shortcomings.

Richard Muller, Previously one of the scientists who was skeptical of climate change... changes his tune.

Just a few things I wanted to share. I find so many people I interact with about the effects of global warming say, "So you really believe all that bs? Frankly, yes! And now so does one of the scientists who previously said he was skeptical of the research that had been done and of the data others had found.
