Kissimmee Florida Attempts to Snub Constitution - "In God We Trust" Proposed to Be Added to Logo at Huge Financial Cost

City Commission of Kissimmee, Florida, will vote to modify its city logo to include "In God We Trust" to voice objection to the "socialist" leadership of the country.

Commissioner Art Otero recommended this affront to the American Constitution. "This nation has been moving toward more liberal postures such as homosexuality, gay marriage, abortion and the legalization of marijuana. I'm against that way of thinking. Those are not the values upon which this nation was founded. I think we need to fight for the values we're losing." 

What if My Mom Went to Hell

My mother recently died. If we judge people by their actions and not their intentions, my mother was a terrible person even though that was never her intention. When she was dying, her aunt was terribly upset that she was going to go to hell. She was sick with worry. It made me so angry that her religion made her feel that way. My mother's aunt is undeserving of such fear, worry, and sadness -- especially at such a time. It is hard enough to get through times like this without compounding it with this garbage.

It Makes Me Brain Hurt, Oh it Hurts!

The pastors in this debate believe if they presume the bible is true, then they don't have to prove the bible is true. Then the use the bible to prove their positions. 

The atheists in this video let me down but not too badly.  They are baby atheists going against professional apologists.

Yet More Sexism in the Atheist Community

"As to your question why you dont see more athiest women? Its beacuse they are generally weaker. They dont want to make waves, they dont want to hurt someones feeling ar risk having their own feelings hurt."

- And here it is, as explicit a comment of sexism in our community as I have ever seen but it is a feeling that runs through the community. I have seen women are too emotional to be an atheist, not rational, or too afraid.

This is from one of my facebook friends. He messaged me in he context of a longer message about the reddit discussion.

Oh Gee Golly Gosh, Why Are There So Few Lady Atheists?

Why aren't there more women in the atheist community? Well maybe it has to do with not wanting to experience anal rape, even in joke form.

Reddit Makes Me Hate Atheists

 

Wonderment is not a Reason to Sell Santa to Kids

Telling a child that there is a magical man in the sky who knows when are you are good or bad and rewards you accordingly is a lie, even when that man is Santa. Telling them Santa exists to encourage their wonderment or preserve their innocence is contrary to the arguments we make as atheists, and is utter non-sense.

Athiests and Christmas

Is it hypocritical for atheists to celebrate Christmas?

Secular and Atheist are Not the Same Thing

Secular and atheist do not mean the same thing. It would be beneficial to encouraging productive conversations if we did not use these words interchangeably.

Christian Ethics

Pretty much summarizes how I feel about Christianity. This is an excellent video. Seriously worth a watch and saving for your next debate.
