Religion – Page 4

I am an Atheist, and I personally don’t want religion taught in schools. When they say religion, they mean Christianity, and when they say Christianity, they mean their own denomination. Considering how many different denominations there are, that leaves it open to definition, and most of them don’t agree with each other. Even if youContinue reading ““Religion” in School?”

THE TRUE DEADLY SINS

I don’t believe in the concept of “sin”, but I like the way this is presented. THE TRUE DEADLY SINS Lust*NOT a sin – feeling sexual attraction, sex with consenting partners, masturbation, consuming pornographic media, having several sexual partners, sex before marriage.*IS A SIN – when the person projects lust onto an unwilling recipient personContinue reading “THE TRUE DEADLY SINS”

Hatred and Discrimination

I find it sad that so many people “hate” others who are different. Growing up, I thought everyone thought like I did, that all people were people, even with their differences. As I got older, I felt that maybe racial biases were more of a southern thing until I started seeing the racism all aroundContinue reading “Hatred and Discrimination”

Holiday Greetings

Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, and Blessings of Light, Peace, and Joy!I’m hoping my holiday greeting covers all of my friends and family, all of whom follow various religious beliefs.

In their narrowContinue reading “What Are Atheists Afraid Of?”

Choices and Opinions

Dec 3 2020 I keep hearing and reading what I call “an either/or” mentality… as if there is only one choice to any problem. Right now on the news they are suggesting there are only two choices for Christmas shopping… Black Friday or Online shopping. Seriously? Are you saying there are no other options toContinue reading “Choices and Opinions”

Platitudes

“A platitude is a trite, meaningless, or prosaic statement, generally directed at quelling social, emotional, or cognitive unease.” “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” This line was the title of a blog article I posted written by a Christian minister who was told this by people due to several challenges that heContinue reading “Platitudes”

Thanksgiving Blessing Written by an Atheist

There is so much to be thankful for each day. Today we take the time to pause and acknowledge this special season of harvest and its traditions of sharing with those less fortunate. We take time to notice the labor of others, from farm to table, that culminates in this feast. Today we pause toContinue reading “Thanksgiving Blessing Written by an Atheist”
