Incest, Christianity and "Family values"
Pedophilia is easier to prosecute than incest, even though incest has been shown to be more damaging than pedophilia. Everyone is expected to hate someone who rapes other people's children; whereas fathers, uncles and brothers who commit incest are protected by the family and... Why everyone is wrong about the terms atheism and agnosticsm
I was listening to a conservative Jewish talk show host who I will only go by his initials, D.P. because I don't want to give him any unnecessary publicity. D.P. is of the opinion that agnostics should attend a church 26 weeks a year. Or a syngogue. To him agnostic means... Why the U.S. should cease recognizing the Vatican as a nation
Well, we've had a new Pope, in Pope Francis I, for half a week now. Not we, as the Catholic Church, but we as the world. I say the world because no matter what your religion might be (or if you have no religion like me) the Church is still very powerful in much... Will Pope Francis continue his Church's opposition to gay rights?
So we have a new pope. The former Argentine Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio is now Pope Francis I. Or maybe just Pope Francis, because there is no other pope named Francis to number him against anyway. I was watching the crowds in the Vatican and they were elated even before... Dear Abby on gay rights, gay couple kicked out mall and theocracy
Issues in the News: I. Daniel Chesmore and Jose Juzman, a gay couple, were kicked out of a mall in Roseville, California for holding hands and kissing. The security guard stated he counted them kiss 25 times, which is, very weird act to do on his part. The guard lied and... Gun control and does my saying I am an atheist insult you?
Issues in the News: I. Global warming is the worst that has been seen since 11,000 years ago. That's a darn long time. It took 4000 years for the earth to warm 1.25 degrees C (which is over 2 degrees F) from 11,000 years ago to 7000 years ago. Tiny marine organisms were used... Right to vandalize atheist signs and gay teens pic censored?
Bunch of issues in the news: I. Two gay high school girls had a picture in their school yearbook removed by the school adminstration. The reason given is that it was too much of a display of affection. Maybe, or maybe not, but I wouldn't be too surprised if it was because... What are the origins of our universe, anyway?
Is there a god? Maybe, maybe not. But if a god exists, I strongly doubt it is the god of the Christian bible. It would be more like the god that many of America's Founding Fathers believed in two hundred years ago, a prime mover who set the universe in motion. The universe... M. Obama at the Oscars and countdown to the Pope being nope pope
Issues in the News: I Well, Pope Benedict XVI has only a few more hours left and then the chaos of no pope in Rome! Well, there is no Italian government in Rome right now, so I guess it isn't that bad. One of the more anti-gay Cardinals, Keith O'Brien of Britain, will not be... Atheists persecuted throughout the world and no government cares
We live in a society where unmarried people who live together, are still prosecuted for co-habitation. It is a relic of our Puritan/religious past. A past that saw women forced to wear Scarlet A letters on their shirts, yes, that just wasn't a book. The International Humanist... Tim Tebow/ anti-gay church and woman pulled over for pro-pot?
About issues in the news: Tim Tebow, who seems to be a nice guy but really is an awful quarterback, was going to speak at a church by ultra rightwing Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffres. Jeffress, known for his rampant homophobia and loathing of anyone who doesn't agree with him,... Why it is wrong for a county meeting to have prayers
Note: This is a recent letter of mine that I sent to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, that wasn't published. It is about Barron County, the far northwestern corner of Wisconsin, having secterian prayers during county meetings. The government shouldn't be involved in prayers of... The Pope states he will resign, but theocracy will continue
Well, The Pope is leaving the papacy. In less than two months, there will be a new pope, and Pope Benedict XVI will go back to being just Joseph Aloisius Ratzinger. Of course, the average Catholic will have as much a say in who will become the next pope, as a secular humanist... Women in prison for baring breasts and more anti-gay hysteria
Issues in the news: I. A Texas Republican legislator named Drew Springer has proposed a bill in that state that would cut health care funding for any school district in the state that offer domestic partnership benefits to employees. Well in particular, any gay employees.... Tim Tebow and woman pulled over for supposed pot leaf sticker
About issues in the news: Tim Tebow, who seems to be a nice guy but really is an awful quarterback, was going to speak at a church by ultra rightwing Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffres. Jeffress, known for his rampant homophobia and loathing of anyone who doesn't agree with him,... Top Members Today
