Rethinking Atheism
Problem 1: we’re Arrogant
Me: So what. You can’t shame me, or gilt trip me out of my position.

Problem 2: Myopia.
I don’t see the good in ‘faith’. It builds community, promotes pacifism.
Me: I see the bad outweighs the good.

Dam, I missed Atheist Day. (I hadn’t even heard of it).

A reminder, just so we don’t miss it: International Blasphemy Day is Sept. 30,  2024. I celebrate it every year.

I would like to point out that in the first graph of “What does it mean to be ‘Religious‘?” The 2008 graph shows 24 – 36% church attendance. And the 2023 graph shows 17 – 30% church attendance. 6% drop in all groups.

Blasphemy: Wasn’t there a UN proclamation condemning blasphemy? Did the US sign that?

Texas is the battleground for religion in…[Read more]

A Ross? Like from the TV show F*R*I*E*N*D*S

Maybe he was talking about political conventions and Ross Perot.

The easy question we can answer:

“if our cult is a man made religion then why does it go against man’s desires?”
Duh! Manipulation is power.
The creaters/maintainers of your cult love power.
