Is the US becoming Western Europe?

Arguably the most nonreligious region in the world, Western Europe has been known for its large population of the self-described "none" when it comes to religion. The 2005 Eurobarometer Poll puts the number of atheists in the EU at 18% and the borderline spiritualists at 27% while only 52% said they believed in a god. According to a study done by USA Today back in early 2009 that compares religiosity in America at the present and in 1990, all religious denominations have seen a decline in… Continue

Contradictory History Of The Bible.

The bible is full of contradictions on matters of history. A person who reads and compares the contents of the Bible will be confused about exactly who Esau's wives were, whether Timnah was a concubine or a son, and whether Jesus' earthly lineage is through Solomon or his brother Nathan. The bible also contradicts itself hundreds of times in many passages of the bible such as genesis: Man was created after the other animals Gen 1:25,26,27 Man was created before the other animals Gen 2:18,19.… Continue

Bloody Facebook Games!

So, before Christmas I added a few of those facebook games. People kept asking me to, and they assured me that I wouldn't need to do anything. They'd get the benefit just by me adding the application. But once I had added them my notifications were a stream of messages like:

Such and such has sent you the third piece of the Trident of the Sea People, will you send something back and conquer the oceans together?

And I had fallen for similar scams myself previously. I played… Continue

My imaginary conversation with Ray Comfort

Since Ray uses a scripted argument when dealing with unsaved heathens like me I thought I'd walk myself through it.

Ray: Hey, do you think you're a good person?

Me: I do ok, I try to be good, but I'm not perfect. Like sometimes I lose my temper, I'd say I was a very angry person, but ironically a lot of people tell me that they cant imagine me angry!

Ray: How many lies have you told in your life?

Me: Gosh, who has a number for that? I am not a chronic liar, but… Continue

Jesus, Fruit of the Poisoness Tree

In order for Jesus to be the Messiah, he must be a direct descendant of Adam, Abraham, and David. Paul refers to him as the Last Adam, 1 Corinthians 15:45. He's referred to a Davic King or the King of Kings for a reason. Clearly we have to establish Jesus as a descendant of Adam, but the story is convoluted and I reject the reasoning based on tradition.

The Messianic Prophesy is laid out in both the Old Testament… Continue

Courage Campaign working to televise Prop 8. Xtian groups moving to ban cameras...

I just thought I'd pass this along.

Courage Campaign

Yesterday, we asked you to respond to Judge Vaughn Walker's request for public comment on potentially televising the Prop 8 federal trial that starts Monday. In less than 24 hours, an amazing 82,103 people have signed the letter from the Courage Campaign Institute and CREDO Action.

Despite Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling below (please read on), we still need you to sign the letter. With… Continue

Christians not all crazy? Gasp!

I'm a Christian. Ya'll hate me. I get it. But, while I'm here, I hope to bridge the gap a little between us. I don't plan on converting you or anything ridiculous like that. I don't have the time and let's face it, you don't want to listen anyways. Rather, I prefer to show you that not all of us are lunatics.

So, for starters, here's an example of something "logical" that we can relate on. Not ALL Christians believe in a young earth. In fact, the idea to me is rather silly. I like to… Continue

Americans’ Role Seen in Uganda Anti-Gay Push

By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN

KAMPALA, Uganda — Last March, three American evangelical Christians, whose teachings about “curing” homosexuals have been widely discredited in the United States, arrived here in Uganda’s capital to give a series of talks.

The theme of the event, according to Stephen Langa, its Ugandan organizer, was “the gay agenda — that whole hidden and dark agenda” — and the threat homosexuals posed to Bible-based… Continue

Evolution

What does one reply to these statements about evolution:

1. Although there have been demonstrable changes within a species, there has never been any evidence to suggest that a species can change into a different species.

2. Most mutations are negative to the species and thus aren't advantageous to the theory of evolution.

These two questions seem to me to be the best arguments creationism (pseudo-science though it is) has to offer (I know they are arguments… Continue

Letter to Atheist's

Dear Atheist,

Yes dear christian?

Do you think its a coincidence that...

of billions of stars and planets in the many galaxies, only earth has life, and abundance of it?

the sun is 400 times the size of the earth's moon, 400 times further away from earth than the moon, yet they look both proportionally the same size in our sky?

the sun lights the days nicely, while the moon glimmers in the night sweetly and the clouds bring forth rain to… Continue

My (brief) De-conversion Story.

My entire life I belonged to a church; even as an infant the indoctrination had begun. For the first 22 years of my life, I missed scarcely over 2 dozen church services. I attended youth functions, summer camps, and other various church activities. I grew up in a small town surrounded by family and friends who were all believers to varying degree's. In school I had heard evolution mentioned once, maybe twice and even then it was only a mention without explanation. Through the years I had a few… Continue

My reason for being anti-faith. I feel sorry for this womans kids.

So I was watching this ridiculous show called "Trading Spouses" today. The premise of the show is that two families from different parts of the country with different ways of life trade a spouse for a few weeks. In this particular episode one family is a new age, somewhat free thinking family while the other is a typical christian family from the south(except for the mother). I can almost guarantee that this woman has very little knowledge of the bible and clearly has no knowledge of any other… Continue

Protecting Me from WHAT EXACTLY?

Sometimes my Theist family makes me want to SCREAM!

I can feel that there is a divide forming in my relationships with them... but especially with my mother and brother. I guess my mother's "zealot" habits aren't REALLY her fault... she's an impressionable and passive woman who was brought up in the "Deep South Bible Belt." Still... an excuse for irrationality and harrassment of "Heretics" doesn't make the pain any less for me.

Recently, I was extremely shocked! I couldn't sleep… Continue

Even in Prison you can't get away from them....

I’ve had a couple of friend who worked as prison guards.

Mostly they work at the “State” level but also one who works on the Federal level. Reading this news article just made me laugh.

A convicted rapist is an atheist. He's also open about it. At least the guy is straight forward about being an atheist.

You get a lot of prisoners who “find God” as a way to buy favor and make themselves look good to various groups and the parole boards.

If only my… Continue

10 MYTHS — AND 10 TRUTHS — ABOUT ATHEISM

When scientists don't know something — like why the universe came into being or how the first self-replicating molecules formed — they admit it. Pretending to know things one doesn't know is a profound liability in science. And yet it is the life-blood of faith-based religion. One of the monumental ironies of religious discourse can be found in the frequency with which people of faith praise themselves for their humility, while claiming to know facts about cosmology, chemistry and biology that… Continue

DECLINE AND FALL OF THE AMERICAN EMPIRE

"The decline of Rome was the natural and inevitable effect of immoderate greatness.

Prosperity ripened the principle of decay; the causes of destruction multiplied

with the extent of conquest; and as soon as time or accident had removed

the artificial supports, the stupendous fabric yielded to

the pressure of its own weight."

Edward Gibbon – The Decline and Fall…
