I seem to find a reason to post or e-mail this article at least twice a year, so please forgive me, any of you with whom I might have shared it. Every time I re-read it, I’m in tears by the end — E V E R Y S I N G L E one, and I’m not exaggerating. As you can see, this article is from 2005; so more than a few tears have been shed by me through the years. If you don’t...

FORTY TO TEN?!
Are you fucking kidding me?
I’m sitting here practically vibrating with anger & hurt. And the ridiculous thing is…why should I be surprised?
I have a father who has had nothing to do with me for years, whose reaction to finding out I’m HIV+ was…silence.
Guess where he lives?

jezebelthegreat asked: You know what I think it is? I think it's just the whole "not knowing." Not knowing if he's going to freak out about it or if he's going to understand. It scares me. And so much time has gone by that no one in my family even thinks about it anymore. Also, he's thirteen and he has a few emotional problems himself; so I'm not sure he's quite ready to process...

Not To Beat A Dead Horse...
I received a message from an old friend from college yesterday that has really brought up a lot of stuff for me, so I thought sharing it might help me exorcise all the negative, angry stuff for me a bit. This friend, a Christian, wrote saying, “You have had a lot of posts lately that have troubled me concerning the Scriptures.”
There was some discussion back and forth, all very...

Want to Know What Makes Me Seethe With Rage? →
Seriously…want to know why there are young people getting beaten on the streets & there are promising kids with glorious futures throwing themselves off bridges?
THIS.
Look no further than this twisted, heartless bastard and those like him who are of the mind that LGBTQ people are ‘not right’ and, therefore, not deserving of equal rights, respect, or even basic compassion. And how on Earth...

Another Godless Goddess: Vatican Admits Priests... →
It’s not just little kids who are endangered by Catholic priests — Catholic nuns also have reason to fear. The Vatican has finally admitted that nuns all around the world have been sexually abused and even raped by priests. Africa has had the most problems, but many other countries have been…
Beyond horrible and thoroughly despicable.

Atheist Bible Study: An Explanation of this... →
atheistbiblestudy:
In the course of starting this blog, I have run into several Christians who have told me that they admit that the Bible was written by man or that the Bible has mistakes in it—things that are wrong, but they still believe in the Christian god. Obviously, these tend to be more liberal Christians:…

Sermon Delivered by My Beautiful Friend, Jen...
From Isaiah: (2) “Yes, indeed—God is my salvation. I trust, I won’t be afraid. God—yes God!—is my strength and song, best of all, my salvation!”
(3-4) Joyfully you’ll pull up buckets of water from the wells of salvation. And as you do it, you’ll say, “Give thanks to God. Call out his name. Ask him anything!”
These beautiful ancient words that make my heart ache are like dust to Jim because he...

'A' Week: Summary
Well…I don’t know that I’d say my ‘A’ Week was a success, as it didn’t seem to stir up much actual discussion, but I’m glad I took part. Honestly, I do respect the spiritual beliefs of others and I certainly won’t deny the fact that I don’t know everything, but I’m inquisitive when people are so reticent to even talk about something for...

I have to share this...
I posted this Bible passage:
I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent. ~ Timothy 2:11
My friend, Shannon’s, reply:
Mmm hmm. Men had to make God tell us to shut up and obey because obviously we weren’t listening to them otherwise! Thanks Bible!

This Would Be Why Churches Shouldn't Be In The... →
“Much of the discrimination comes from the ‘Pastoral Guidelines to Assist Students of Same-Sex Orientation’, the primary document for instructing school administrators and teachers on homosexuality. It reads that “gay” is not an identity, gay sex is “immoral” and gay people ought to live a life of “chastity.”
When Iskander was originally denied the group [a...
Elizabeth Taylor Was Late to Her Own Funeral
missworld:
The service was scheduled to begin at 2 PM but at Miss Taylor’s request started late. Miss Taylor had left instructions that it was to begin at least 15 minutes later than publicly scheduled, with the announcement, ‘She even wanted to be late for her own funeral.’
Fucking love it.
Oh, now THAT is priceless…and goes to show “There Is Nothin’ Like A...

'Purification' To Be Found In Religion →
This nightmarish story of a youth pastor molesting young boys might be slightly less frightening if not for the striking similarities between his telling young boys they could “ejaculate the evil’ from themselves and the “purification of spirit” that ex-gay ministries promise the men who enter their “therapy”.
There’s something so disturbing to me about...
