Good to know.
 Happy Winter Solstice.Atheism is a strictly non-prophet organization. - Carlin And the Catholic Cow sez: "The Inquisition was a legal proceeding. Victims had rights, trials, etc." |

ok
although I am surely not as well educated as some here, obviously, and I have a limited knowledge of both science and scripture. I assure you that will not stop me from spouting off  I live in north central Oklahoma , (admins will notice that my IP realizes back to Texas) smack in the middle of Jesus land it's like being behind enemy lines or something. I don't just hate religious people,I work with some doozies ,.Southern baptists, a Mormon ,.Pentecostal holiness (the kind that flop around on the floor speaking in tongues). and for the most part they are good people who in 20 years there have refrained from trying to save me (I do keep my beliefs to myself ,. a survival technique) there is a born againer there,.he is most annoying,.ex drug hippie who came to the lord,.blah blah blah  I was born into Irish Catholosism but my father left the fold when I was 10, I have never had the "faith" , it's just not part of who I am, it just always seemed silly to me is the only way I can explain it. as of late what with our little crusade in the middle east (and if you don't think the thumpers view it that way you are not talking to them the way I am) I have come to see that the push for the theocroisation ,.theocization?,..(spell check is not helping me with this one ) is at the strongest I've seen in my 52 years and that disturbs me greatly, I feel that people who love and trust in our constitution need to be stepping up now more than ever to protect our seperation clause or we may well lose it so any way,.I came across this place while on a google search started reading and was quite entertained by the posting and thought I'd join |

Welcome! Love your signature. I am not as educated as most of the people on here either so I find myself getting pretty intimidated. I am basically here to learn some good arguments to use against all of my christian Facebook friends (so far so good). Apparently saying that christianity is stupid just isn't working any longer, soooo. I'm also pretty new here too. Now...how about those genitals? Just a peek?

i see a stache in the photo, so i guess it's a boy!!
and well done, simple. that is a nice intro. One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly. H. L. Mencken |

Nothing gets the slapdown treatment quicker than someone presenting old wives' tales, urban legends, biased propaganda, and the like, as fact (well, maybe jackass theists preaching get cornholed a little quicker, but not by much). Otherwise, keep an open mind, be ready to learn, and enjoy the feisty discussions. It worked for me. I am not intimidated, but I know when I am out of my league.

 education isn't everyting- look at Lilseecow it's what you do with what sense you have that is more important “'I am offended by that.' Well, so fucking what." Fry |

I like the sentiment of your sig, Simple Mind, but the church grows fondler's what? The suspense is killing me.
