Excellent article on Politics Daily about best selling author Anne Rice quitting Christianity.

I have a TREMENDOUS amount of respect for Anne and it is her courage to "come out" that inspired me, and from what I can see, THOUSANDS of others, to do the same! START THINKING FOR YOURSELF PEOPLE!!  WAY TO GO!!!

Of all the articles written about Anne over the past week or so, this writer maintained the integrity of Anne's true feelings as well as her statements.

There are good reporters out there after all!


Kudos to David Gibson for an excellent article.

The article above just infuriates me...

Stop Messing with my Rights!!


I have the right to remain silent...or NOT!
I have the right to not want to read the Holy Bible.
I have the right to believe or not believe whatever I want with regards to religion or lack thereof.
I have the right to choose to have an abortion, it's my body. 
I have the right to say what I feel and think.
I have the right to post messages on my blog accusing republicans of being anti-American. 


I have a lot more rights but these are just a few that the right-wing fanatical Republicans of this country wish to strip from me.  How are they any different than the Taliban? They want their religion and their religion ONLY to be acceptable. Even though they have numerous sects and each of them deny the other is correct they want to force their "conservative" bullshit agenda down my throat and then scream and yell when someone tries to push the opposite. None of them can agree on who is right and who is wrong and who worships the right way and who is going to hell. And I'm going to be happy about this bunch of freaks choosing what I should believe and follow??? Not just NO, but HELL NO! 


What the hell is going on here? This is AMERICA! Since when do we let a group of Bible banging, fear-mongering, hypocrites, tell us what we can or can't do?!?  These people are nuts! 


For a party to who claims to be SOOOOO American they are attempting to SHRED the constitution to fit their screwed up agenda. Not because it is best for the people, but because it is best for THEM the politicians. AND THEN WHAT? WIll they follow to the "T" the laws and rules they so feverently want to push on the rest of us? I highly doubt it. I'm CERTAIN they won't! 


Enough of this political correct shit, get these crazy fuckers out of office before we're all forced to listen to and obey the Glenn Beck god. 

Debating a Christian Fanatic...

I am a member of a website called www.ExChristian.net  - It's filled with people like myself who once believed in the Christian religion but for whatever reason, no longer do. It has been a great source of comfort and "fellowship" for me during my deconversion process.  Many of the people there are going through the same thing as an Xtian.  Today I read a most fascinating article from a recently deconverted Xtian. It is his conversation with a Christian who is trying to "bring him back to the cross". I was pretty impressed with how the Xtian handled his end but the believer just kept rambling on and on about his god, never addressing the questions....no doubt brainwashed.

Setting Out On The Journey...

First, I want to welcome you to my blog. I've pondered for a while about how best to express myself without embarrassing my friends or family with my beliefs. It seems that over the past several months I've taken a different view on things that they don't necessarily believe. One of them being religion.  You see, prior to this decision and my change of heart I was exactly like the people I now despise. Well, maybe not despise, but I certainly want nothing to do with those that call themselves "Christians". 


After rejecting all I had been taught to believe for the past several decades of my life I worried about how I would share this with those I love most. I kept it to myself for a long time and while traveling this journey alone, or so I thought, I found that there were literally THOUSANDS of other people out there who felt the EXACT same way! People who used to be devout believers in the "religion" of Christianity, but along the way realized they had been scammed. 


Little did I know that once I came "out of the closet" I was going to be bombarded by those who still remain in the cult in an attempt to lure me back in because, after all, my soul was at stake. Was it my soul or was it merely my pocket book and the number I represented on their Sunday attendance that really mattered? When they realized they weren't getting anywhere with me, they all seemed to disappear. My soul no longer worth the effort. 


My rejection of religion is the cornerstone for everything I think and feel about all of the things I think and feel about. The things I'll discuss on this blog.  I've added a little You Tube Clip of the God Warrior. This woman was the icing on the cake for me. I owe her a huge thanks for convincing me that the Christian RELIGION is nothing more than a meaningless social club whose members are, in my opinion, certifiable. 







Talk to you again soon!
