Lesbian couple custody battle (one of which turned evangelical christian)

I'm not sure if anyone else has seen this on the news but i decided to put up an article about the custody battle between a lesbian couple.

By Amir Efrati

There is an interesting custody battle underway in Vermont and Virginia that involves religion, same-sex unions, and artificial insemination.

Janet Jenkins and Lisa Miller were joined in a civil union in Vermont in 2001. Miller later moved to Virginia in 2003, renounced homosexuality and became an evangelical… Continue

I'm Out!

New Year's Eve, I was at home getting ready to go out and my mom was watching a Lifetime movie on TV. The movie was about a Christian mother and her homosexual son and the mother's struggles to try to "cure" her son against his wishes. During the movie, I told my mom, "Movies like this make me wonder how you and Dad would react if [my sister] Kim or I were to come out as homosexual, or if we changed our religion or something." She responded, "Well, you basically did. You never go to church… Continue

But religion gives people hope and comfort...

I have noticed that many TV shows have blatant religious undertones to them. I was watching a show called "Criminal Minds" about the FBI's Quantico unit to catch psycho killers, and one episode had a father who performs exorcism and ultimately leads to killing people, who actually are not possessed by demons. So cut to the final scene, an FBI agent, who is also a former catholic, who happens to walk up to a church, queue slow music and the camera angle to give it's presents a sort of awe-struck… Continue

On Ireland's Blasphemy Law

I (as we all do) have opinions on everything in life, from political issues to my favourite football team. I welcome criticism because it challenges what I think and either strengthens my viewpoint or (in rare cases) changes my opinion. My perspective is important to others when it comes time to vote because the outcome of elections impact on people’s lives, but other than that my opinions can have no negative effect on other people whatsoever.

I refer to the following taken from… Continue

Blasphemy

Saying "God Damn it" isn't taking the lords name in vain. Taking the lords name in vain means to take credit for acts of nature such as a flood, or eclipse.

"Why do we care?" - from Atheist Climber blog

From Atheist Climber blog

Logic. Reason. Rationality.

These are the 3 tools I use on a daily basis to make sense of the world. Without these tools, the world decays into a mess of suppositions and superstitions.

This means that whenever I look at the world, I have a lifetime's worth of knowledge by which I can make assessments on what is… Continue

Biblical Scholar, who also predicted the rapture would happen in 1994, believes that the world will end May 21, 2011

Harold Camping lets out a hearty chuckle when he considers the people who believe the world will end in 2012.

"That date has not one stitch of biblical authority," Camping says from the Oakland office where he runs Family Radio, an evangelical station that reaches listeners around the world. "It's like a fairy tale."

The real date for the end of times, he says, is in 2011.

Dealing with your christian girlfriend!!

Ok, my first blog post. (sorry if I messed up my writing, not to good with english)

To begin, I live in a small town, where most people are catholics, but now days young people barely practice there religion, so they really don't give if I'm an atheist or not, there cool with it, sometimes shocked but not to make a big deal out of it. As some should now, we shouldn't care what others think about us, but what happends when the person that has a wrong idea about you is your… Continue

Keith Green Popped My YouTube Cherry on my Hot4Jesus Blog

I've been blogging at Hot-For-Jesus Former Fundie for over 2 years... and never once have I embedded a YouTube link. I took pride in that fact. I thrive on writing original content and only use and abuse pics of Jesus and Hot Jesus Look-Alikes.

This last month, while hanging out with a fellow Former hardcore christian, we found ourselves tipsy and surfing the web for old-school Contemporary Christian Music… Continue

Belief

Have you ever seriously considered where your beliefs came from? I can't, for the life of me, remember ever making a decision to believe the things I believe. They were usually already there, fully formed, or when they were presented to me for the first time, I glommed onto them immediately without a doubt. Now, I do remember rejecting things I had been given or told to believe, examining them an trying to see if they made sense, and when they didn't, trying to find some explanation that made… Continue

Happy New Years / Happy Monkey 2010

Best wishes and a Happy New Year / Happy Monkey to all of my atheist friends :-).

My wish for this year is that all of our atheist communities around the world continue their steady consolidation and growth.

This is a huge achievement for a community which holds no beliefs in common and is simply getting together on the grounds that we lack a belief in gods.

We're not sheep and so our biggest challenge will be to learn to not only accept and… Continue
