It is difficult to deal with family and friends when God and or Religion becomes a topic of discussion. We as Atheists must stand up for our personal rights and not allow other peoples views to have an effect in our lives or beliefs. How I stop most people when the topic turns to individual beliefs and God/Religion.

I will respond;

1) How nice. Change the subject fast.

2) I wish not to talk about this subject because anything I would feel the need to say will certainly…

I'm wondering if every human being alive asked at the same time World Wide for God to give us a sign, would it be enough energy to produce a response? I am a firm believer in Atheism. But just think for one moment, don't be judgmental or questionable. Could Humanity generate enough spiritual power to get a response? To me it is a very intriguing Question.

Or if every Radio Transmitter, Cell Phone, Walk-E Talk-E or transmission device, at the same time transmitted a signal, Could we…

"I don't know, Sparks. But I guess I'd say if it is just us... seems like an awful waste of space." Quote from Ellie's father in the Movie "Contact"

This my friends is a very valid point. Is there something, someone other than Earthlings in our Galaxy, our Universe?

Ponder this, there are roughly 100 BILLION Stars in our Galaxy Alone (link to information,…

I was just in the chat room here and was involved in a discussion about many different things pertaining to pushy religious folk and then we got onto the First amendment and then I remembered contacting http://ffrf.org  Freedom From Religion Foundation and I…

We are born and we all die. But can we all say we have truly lived? We all just do our own stuff on this spinning sphere of a spaceships we like to call Earth. Busy, busy, busy. Letting the smaller, finer, more important things in life pass us by. Truly "Stop and smell the Roses" well some Roses don't smell, smell the Flowers. Kiss your Wife and children and tell them you Love them. Call your Mom and Dad and tell them you love them. Say "Hello" to the next person you pass on the…

Andrew Aitken "Andy" Rooney  (January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011)

It is a sad day today to hear that Andy Rooney has passed away. I am 50 and have watched Andy Rooney pretty much since he joined 60 Minutes just about 30 years ago. What a witty, intelligent and wise man he was. It is with sadness in my heart to know we will not be blessed with his very different style of Journalism. I do wish his family well and send my thoughts out to them. I wish I…

Could I have active members write just a Hi, Hello or go to Hell here? There are so many in-active members  I would just like to get an idea of how many people actually read anything or write anything.

Thanks all

Hello to everyone; Cool sight this is. This is my first blog, ever. I have no clue what so ever what to write or how to place it's contents. I have had a significant amount of travels, encounters, traumas and anger inducing experiences. I have a desire to share and elicit from you some thoughts. Interesting thing about humans is we really are truly fascinating creatures. Nothing like us on this Spaceship we call Earth.

I'm a staunch Atheist…
