Churches all across the country of the United States (and undoubtedly, the world) provide a safe haven for pedophiles, rapists, and molesters.
Does that sound harsh? Unfortunately, it's true. Quite true. Every

I have an uncle that
lives his life in a place called Cole, Mississippi. Lee Vernon Harris
is his name and he is the local Pastor there in Cole. He has held that
position for almost thirty years. He's buried the dead, built or
rebuilt the local Church a time or two, raised his own family and
remained fairly content there in a town of about sixteen thousand
people. He's a Southern Baptist. Hellfire and brimstone has been a
common theme many a humid…

I have a couple of rather long posts at my blog, The Barefoot Bum.
No such thing (as religion):
There's no such thing as religion. No such thing (in a religious sense) as Judaism, Christianity or Islam. ... None of these isms are actually about any thing. There is no "objective" way to discuss any of these isms because there is no object to discuss.

Face value is taken
Then distributed among the lost,
Massed up to faults
Running through the
Surface.
Cracked expressions
Lead to damaged empty vessels
When your lips are lying,
Your mind is denying,
Your body is sighing;
No longer trying
To form a coherent strain.

Cyclical logic, belief blind
To those with no end in time
Suffering in an intolerable mind;
Divide zero by zero to get nine.
No end in sight to abbreviate,
Final energy obfuscates
Decaying mass. Signals wait
Moments as they invent fate.

Tiptoeing to figure out,
Stretching taller to see,
The world's gone diving
And has left me.
Inching closer to sane,
Still itching to flee
Their injected plague
Is not where I'll be.

Not with or without,
United and divided
We stand as one
Too many-
As circles of lonely people
Walk within and
Without one another
Always enveloped
In the passing-by of life.

Overcast throughout the moment
Gutted sides, hollowed backs-
Drifting toward sounds with no
Pronunciation; bent without cracks.
Grainy draining, pushing further
Past the faceless crowded cell,
Gaining hazy blurred truths
They all hear but never tell.

Never plentiful enough; always far too much
So quick to slur, slowly blur
And jump ahead-
Ticking away, picking
At the hands of the
Clock
Who keeps
Changing the gears.

PBS TV Stations to Air Three-Part Documentary on Atheism
By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor

Public Broadcasting Service stations to begin showing later this week a
three-part television documentary series on atheism, calling it
"demagogic and propagandistic."
"This series is about the disappearance of something: religious faith,"

I saw a post about this on New Atheist, so swung by to check it out. Most of my posting is done in the Google Groups area, but am looking to branch out a little bit.
And apparently, Ning didn't like the picture size I sent, so I'll need to find something else!

Meet the
Romeo-and-Juliet effect.
Among Jehovah's Witnessed, dating means the dry-humping Olympics. Should you "slip-up" and actually have sex, you risk being disfellowshipped and shunned by friends and family alike. Everyone you know and love will cut you off and never speak to you again, because you had sex.
So much for Christian love.

By continuing to hawk "The Secret," a mishmash of offensive
self-help cliches, Oprah Winfrey is squandering her goodwill and
influence, and preaching to the world that mammon is queen.

You're an Atheist; How could you do that to your kids?
It's in our nature to cherish our children. If you have children yourself
then you will know what I am talking about. (Unless you're emotionally
retarded.) As soon as you rationalize that it is OK for a "God of Love"
to put disobedient children to death....you lose me!! (Truthfully, you
lost me at the God part!) Parents in the USA would be imprisoned and
(if in Texas, hehe) possibly put to death…
