The story of the 13 year old atheist!

Hey guys, I'm Victoria, I'm an atheist, and here's my story-



“Me”

I've been an atheist for a year now. If you've read the biography part of my profile, you'll see that I'm 13, almost 14. That's right, I've been an atheist since I was 12, almost 13. I found out about this website by Twitter, and quickly got addicted to reading other peoples stories, and reading discussions, and being recommended books. Before I go on, I need to warn you that this is probably going to be a really… Continue

TCVS Episode 08- Heathen Half Hour "Religion Doesn't Deserve Respect"

http://www.cowboyvoodooshow.com

 

On this 3H, I discuss giving religion respect. I was inspired to cover this topic by a discussion on Facebook with a friend of mine who accused me of being wrong because I don’t respect religion. I hunted and found an article (found here) that explained why ecumenical religious people…

What Has and Has NOT Changed? (The New and Not-So-New Normal of Marriage Equality)

Near the end of the first act of Kander and Ebb’s musical “Cabaret”, the character Herr Schultz observes, “How the world can change, it can change like that, due to one little word:  ‘Married.’”  Just a little over two weeks ago, on June 24, 2011, it seemed as if the world had changed “like that.”  The State of New York extended the legal right to marry to same-sex couples—something it had declined to…

ive been challenged?

**Update** Well ladies and gents, I have some pretty interesting news. The y.pastor hasn't even read the book yet. He was hoping that we would all read it at the same time & then discuss it. (It really silly to recommend a "good book" without actually reading it first-though, this is what they do with their Bible every day) He has also stated that his goal is not to convert me but to have an open discussion and that he does have questions for me (I'm assuming "how do you believe life got… Continue

Two Christians Walk Into a Bar

In my case, not a bar but a park. I do a lot of mountain biking and in between laps is a rest area. Yesterday 2 men were sitting there for over 2 hours talking about how they KNEW they were going to heaven. I didn't listen to the whole conversation. Only the bits and pieces I was able to…

The Evolution of Morality

I am attacked regularly for the supposed oxymoron in the name @Moral_Atheist. The claims are often like the following all from this last weekend.

 

From: @RonaldusMagnus1

there IS NO logical basis for morals in an evolutionist-atheist viewpoint. Nature takes it's course, no?

 

From: @clergywomen

& Moral Atheist IS AN OXYMORON

Looking Back....

It's been an eventful couple of weeks. I've lived in or around Huntsville, AL for a large part of my life. I've lived in other places from time to time, but always seemed to find myself back there for some reason or another. The most recent stint in Huntsville began in October of 2009 and lasted until this past Friday. About two weeks ago, my apartment--which I'd had since March of '10--was condemned because a part of the walkway from the upstairs level fell through. Thankfully, no one was…

Great Minds Quotes

 

Gene Roddenberry [1921-1991] Creator of Star Trek

"I condemn false prophets, I condemn the effort to take away the power of rational decision, to drain people of their free will--and a hell of a lot of money in the bargain. Religions vary in their degree of idiocy, but I reject them all. For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a…

I talk to Elaina Winter, an old friend from high school whom I haven't talked to in 10 years. We exchange stories about what we've been up to the past decade and what our families are up to. Elaina takes us on a journey through her experiences that include filming a behind the scenes documentary about a band touring strip clubs, her painful incident at Clemson while filming for the band Lifehouse, and her current day player gig as a set dresser on the Three Stooges movie.

The Glare of Death

I am currently in graduate school and was taking a class called "Wellness in Counseling". As part of the class we had to take a Wellness Inventory to see where our wellness was. Along with Social Well Being, Physical Well Being, Spirituality is measured. My professor explained that you do not have to be religious to be spiritual (so I took her word for it).



So I took this inventory and was astounded by the questions they asked about spirituality and what makes one well in regards to… Continue

Why do we have fish?

...and other questions about Noah's flood for the layman. (posted @ atheistdave.wordpress.com) 



What did the animals eat? Sure, Noah took two of every species on his ark. As if that's not believable enough, how did all the animals survive? Some animals have a very particular diet:…

My Grandfather's Argument

A few months ago my Grandfather attempted to try and get me to go to church with him and the rest of the family (This happens every few weeks). As usual I refused and told him that I was Atheist which meant that I don't go to church. Then he asked me something new, he asked me why I didn't believe in something that people had believed for thousands of years. After all, billions of people could not be wrong.



Instantly in my head I said "Wow... could you have come up with a stupider… Continue
