Some stupid bitch on my friends list posted this...
mcspitfire:
“An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.” … The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, “What would you want to talk about?” … ” Oh, I don’t know,” said the atheist. “How about why there...

The American Jobs Depression, and How to Get Out...
robertreich:
The Reverend Al Sharpton and various labor unions have announced a March for Jobs. But I’m afraid we’ll need more than marches to get jobs back.
Since the start of the Great Recession at the end of 2007, America’s potential labor force – that is, working-age people who want jobs - has grown by over 7 million. But since then, the number of Americans who actually have jobs has shrunk...

October 2nd: Hundreds Of Christian Pastors To Defy IRS Laws On Politics
Hundreds of Christian pastors plan to spend next Sunday’s sermon campaigning for a specific political candidate, a violation of IRS rules exacted during the Johnson administration.
They want no government interference in their pulpits. *sigh* Of course when one’s organization does not...

Jesus and Chrishna
sassyandsecular:
Plagerism at its best? Or the work of Satan?
Comparing Lord Crishna (also spelled Krishna) with Christ Jesus
1. Crishna was born of a chaste virgin, called Devaki; Jesus was born of a chaste virgin, called Mary.
2. The birth of Crishna was announced in the heavens by his star; The birth of Jesus was announced in the heavens by his star….
3. Crishna, though royally...

The problem with Satan
bamikeyd:
So I was thinking the other day, and I had a discussion with a religious person about the problem of Lucifer in Christianity.
The main gist of the conversation was a little something like this:
Me: You can’t just say “God is good” when you look at all the beauty of nature, or the wonder of child birth. As Stephen Fry says, “You must account for bone cancer in children.” When...

Why Are Christians Leaving the Church? Turns Out...
abaldwin360:
by Hemant Mehta The Friendly Atheist
David Kinnaman, the president of the Barna Group (a Christian-focused polling organization), just released his newest book, You Lost Me: Why Young Christians are Leaving Church and Rethinking Faith.
So why are Christians — real, churchgoing Christians — leaving the faith later in life?
No single reason dominated the break-up between church...

An Act against Atheism and Blasphemy
nonplussedbyreligion:
I know Old English is a pain to read, but my friend sent me this because he knows I like it. I had to re-write it and post it because what it says is absolutely crazy. I have not changed any of the words. I did not list all the books of the bible because I’m lazy and we know what they are. I’m also not 100% sure if the word goal meant jail because I’ve seen both. Other...

HAPPY BLASPHEMY DAY!
faithorarrogance:
Who wants to commit acts of heresy and sacrilege with me?!
Ooo, ooo, ooo! I know! Let’s promote federal funding of Planned Parenthood, and force all places of worhsip to pay their due property taxes! We can even legalize gay marriage! Oooo, and then we can talk about evolution and as a one-up, let’s ban creation from being taught in public schools!
Let’s get real fiendish,...

What am I supposed to do?
girlishromp:
When I turn 21 and I no longer have Children’s Medical Service to take care of my diabetes?
Medicaid already found way to deny me, so I can’t get back on that.
Health insurance companies deny me because I have a preexisting condition.
Am I just supposed to ration out the remainder of my insulin that I have stocked up?
What about the other insulin that I take that I don’t have...

via TheHuffingtonPost 9/29/11
New York City labor unions are preparing to back the unwieldy grassroots band occupying a park in Lower Manhattan, in a move that could mark a significant shift in the tenor of the anti-corporate Occupy Wall Street protests and send thousands more people into the streets.
The Transit Workers Union Local 100’s executive committee, which oversees the...

Why This is Exactly the Time to Rebuild America's...
robertreich:
Seems like only yesterday conservative nabobs of negativity predicted America’s ballooning budget deficit would generate soaring inflation and crippling costs of additional federal borrowing.
Remember Standard & Poor’s downgrade of the United States? Recall the intense worry about investors’ confidence in government bonds — America’s IOUs?
Hmmm.
Last week ten-year yields...

So I Watched Ray Comfort's New Film ''180''
doubtingmarcus:
If you haven’t seen it, don’t. From start to finish it’s full of poor reasoning and the entire film is an argumentum ad Hitlerum. The point of the movie is to convince people to change their minds about abortion by comparing legalized abortion to the Holocaust, I know it’s extremely insulting to everyone, and while doing this he blamed the Holocaust on Hitler deviating from...

Teaching Children the Real Truth About Science

”NOT all scientists are good scientists,” Nobel laureate Harold Kroto says when asked what he thinks about the debate around global warming.
”We don’t have a 100 per cent reliable assessment so we can only say - and I would say - that it doesn’t look good.”
Professor Kroto ticks off the warning signs on his fingers, listing rising sea levels and temperatures, the shrinking...
