My first blog.. let's hope we don't get bored?

I have been working alongside people of whom moved to my country from India. When i started my job (my FIRST job at 16) I hoped i could be guided and helped along the way. Don't get me wrong- i was; by the owner. He (who came from KENYA and INDIA) left us in charge when he thought i was able to sustain the shop on my own (after three months) Which meant i was left to work around my manager and three colleagues (one of which no…

Dear members:

I have been trying to submit a complaint to the FL ACLU and need "witness (people who have heard the complaint)"  which includes their full contact information. I'd also like your input, information from anyone who has dealt with the ACLU before, and contact information from anyone who…

I don't consider myself a militant atheist. If someone asks what I believe, I'll tell them, if someone attempts to use their faith as evidence, I'll challenge them, but I don't seek those discussions out. My view is that someones belief is their own damn business... mostly. What I am passionate about though, is the notion that the United States is a secular nation. That it was founded on basic principles that not only included religious tolerance for a variety of faiths, but freedom from the…

Hello! My name is Laura, and I’m a recovering Mormon. I was in the Mormon Church for 22 years, give or take a few months when I took a “break”.  

 

I didn’t experience total horror. I wasn’t discriminated against.  I couldn’t handle the people I loved, GAY people that I loved to be openly discriminated against. I was barely hanging on by a thread when prop 8 came out. I promptly removed myself and wrote an official letter of resignation. I also asked that my records be removed…

I've been soaking up every interview and article about Hitch ever since he announced his grave state of health.



Let me be frank here. I have, ever since I was a little boy, had a terrible fear of death.

It has been my biggest struggle ever since I left the faith of… Continue

So first off, apparently a group of Internet Christians have been trying to get people on YouTube to... well what they're trying to do is actually my first question. I don't know what their intent is. Some of my vidder friends (we all are the vidding community because we all make fanvideos - music videos using clips from our favorite movies and TV shows) said they had received similar messages in the past. I talk to many of these vidder friends of mine on twitter, so to share my extreme… Continue

There are few things that can get under my skin like the education system in America. We do not do enough to teach our kids about the real wonders in the world through logical inspection and we fail miserably to teach them to respect or understand history. Schools that respect the secular requirements of our government fail to impart the importance of these subjects. What education are we denying children when they are educated by a school district that makes “belief in god” a goal in their… Continue

I don't know if any of you remember, but a while ago I mentioned be asked to be the Godfather for my nephew on his first communion. I reluctantly agreed, but after sometime to mull it over I guess it's not that bad. Anyways, the ceremony is later today. I was supposed to have confessed the day prior to have a clean soul when I receive the cracker, er- I mean the body of Christ. I forgot to though, oops! Apparently not confessing before doing so is one of the biggest sins a Catholic can… Continue
