Okay so.

I visit facebook and play those apps.

I have several friends on there who I don't know but they also play those apps.

There is one girl in particular whom I don't know but she sends me gifts and things so I keep her hanging around on my facebook. But I think I'm gonna delete her, because no facebook app is worth seeing "I love Jesus" all over my wall and news feed.

Okay so, I never really talked to this girl before until one day she posted "Life is worthless… Continue

"You were mean, so I assumed you were a Christian"

Some girl said because I was mean to her, she assumed I was Christian.

She made a comment on a forum about how no one had compassion for her. She posted about how she had been abused.

I told her to go to therapy and stop whining about it.

She emailed me and gave me a huge speech about how I should be more Christian like, and I was like. I'm agnostic.

ps: I have been abused before and have gone to therapy to help me get over it.

in other news, I GOT… Continue

Going on a Road Trip!

It's that time, folks!

Car is packed, Playlists are loaded. Life is good.

We are taking a three days and two nights to make the drive. It will be

Colin's first Great American Road Trip and I want to spend some time in

the Big Sur area eating at mom and pop seafood restaurants and taking

pictures!

We went to Tombstone for a haunted night time tour! It was great fun. I

You F**king Atheists

I work at a family owned medical technologies company, and all of my co-workers are christians, and needless to say it is a great day everyday. Well one particular lady, I work directly with, goes as far as saying:

"Do not say the lord's name in vain near me, or else I will have to pray for you."

Pretty intense stuff! I am not one to push others, but I would love to hear what she has to say. Maybe she thinks atheists are all evil abortionists who want to destroy christmas for… Continue

CARM.Org Thread... "Do you think society has improved?"

Notes on Nationalism

Notes on Nationalism is a 1945 essay by George Orwell.

Despite it's name Orwell is addressing a more general concept which can apply not only to nationalities but to any groups of people - whether it be an ethnicity, a religion, a social class, a political ideology or as a purely negative notion such as antisemitism or anti-homosexual ideologies. While the examples Orwell gives are of a post-war flavour it's easy to see how they directly transfer to today's world.

Why…

Billboard Photo Op Thoughts

I just got back home about an hour ago from the group photo at the Tampa Bay Coalition of Reason billboard. The estimated number of people is 50, but I don't have an exact count. The crowd that turned out for it was such a great mix of age ranges...and most of them brilliantly pulled off a look of normalcy.:-P (I'm not exactly sure what some people think an atheist looks like, but I know I wouldn't be able to pick one out of a crowd.) Two… Continue

"Virgin Girls in America"

I had just come on break when our translator asked me,

"Are their any virgin girls in America?"

At the time I was serving as a gate guard on FOB Diamondback in Mosul Iraq and was about halfway through my deployment. The question took me aback. What, did he think that American girls are somehow not born virgins? Or that doctors de-virgify them when they're born, kinda like the way boys get circumcised?…

Solved: The Problem of Free Will

An ambitious blog title, I know . . . but you be the judge.

From his high-rise Miami condo, an aspiring photographer sees dark clouds gathering in the distance. He remembers that a thunderstorm had been forecast for the evening. He sets up his camera and tripod on the balcony, checks the battery in his remote control, and waits for lightning.

A young couple have 10% of their paychecks automatically deposited into a savings account… Continue

Feeling Down

I've been feeling down since the shit hit the fan with my family. I've been avoiding my aunt's phone calls (the gossipy one), and I've been avoiding talking about this to any family member until I get my "why I'm not a Christian" speech down. Whenever I try to explain it, my mind shuts down. I think I'm still way to hurt and emotional about their reactions, and whenever I think about talking to them again, I go back to that terrible few days, and I just can't concentrate on anything… Continue

Born an atheist?

I just read an account from a friend about her experiences growing up with a Christian family and finding her own niche among Sekhmet and Anukis and Idunn. Those are all mythological beings, two from Egypt one from Norse. She and I both have a love for mythology, we find it fascinating and in many ways, more real than anything else.

This isn't about Robin or her story. It's more about mine, I guess.

She spent so long, trying, struggling, to pray to Jesus, to understand why… Continue

I would really like to know ---

Why Susanna Maioli assulted the Pope? What did "she" say her reason was? Why more than half of all Americans believe that the CIA allowed or even helped to make 911 possible, and yet only 4 million dollars was spent to investigate it. Why then was 40 million dollars was spent to find out about Bill Clintons "BJ"? I want to know why or how the American public can be so blind and or so apathetic to all the evil that America/Church lays on the people of the world (and even to thier own citizens)?… Continue

Is abortion murder?

Before answering this question, it is imperative to truly define murder. To me, “murder” is an intentional, malicious act which serves to terminate the biological functioning of an innocent individual. Of course, this definition then begs the question of what exactly constitutes an individual. Surely plants are not considered individuals, yet a coma patient is. I think that the easiest way to define an “individual person” is both the possession of an advanced central nervous system… Continue

The Pilgrim's Descent

I stood on the precipice of the Kingdom of Paradise

And looked down on the realm below.

It seemed to pale in comparison

To the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven

Which radiated with beauty,

Radiated with peace,

And radiated with understanding

For all that dwelled within it

To the point that those in the realm below

Would strive to… Continue

Happy Presidents Day, Wiley Drake.

Nothing says Happy Presidents Day like telling your congregation to pray for the president's death.

announcing a daily teleconference call to advance the cause. Drake has

A (Biological) Purpose-Driven Life

Unlike religion, science makes a simple and rational case about what we should do with our lives, and despite the gray matter that resides inside our skulls, we have evolved from lesser organisms to fulfill some very simple duties:

1. We eat.

2. We sleep.

3. We fuck.

4. We shit.

5. We have kids.

6. We die.

After several million years of evolution, humanity's basic role is to fulfill those six biological functions in spite of whatever beliefs (or… Continue
