So wierd but also true! Give me an Atheist any day! Remember the "Atheist Lady" & her family? She pissed off alot of people but she was right! And she loved America! She also just disappeared one day! ☠️ Nobody ever found her body or any reason for her disappearance in early 80's! Can't remember her name...
Madalyn Murray O'Hair was murdered for the money they raised. She and her family were all found dismembered in shallow graves, when the muderer confessed, (he had her car so it was kind of obvious) there were three of them, one of whom used to work for her her but they fired him.
Oh ya! Now it's all coming back to me! That was so messed up! Over greed, we lose a brilliant & fearless woman like Madalyn! These days especially, I feel would benefit from her no nonsense commonsense... Hope I'm making my point! I need coffee now! Thank you for your stellar memory!! ✌️💙
I so respected what she did for our country, and It pains me that they are undoing all her tireless efforts to make us more sane, and equal. I keep commenting in “the friendly Atheist” substack tha we need a new person like her to fight for all our rights!
The only things I ever learned from the forced catholicism of my youth was 1) who isn't going to heaven, 2) who to hate [Jews], and 3) smug self-righteousness.
The Missouri Synod Lutheranism of my youth taught me 1) Catholics aren’t going to heaven and should know better because Martin Luther told them so, 2) Jews are to be pitied for failing to recognize Jesus as the Messiah but they are getting into heaven on the “chosen people” technicality, which isn’t really fair but God can’t change his mind*, and 3) smug self-righteousness.
*never mind God changing his mind over and over in the bible.
The left is godless, eh? You say that like it's a BAD thing. To enumerate all the crap that the god of the bible has laid on humankind would take a book: that same bible. From murdering kids because they taunted a bald man to using a scapegoat to cure a situation created by the being who supposedly created reality, Yahweh is indeed and demonstrably, "The most unpleasant character in all fiction," as Richard Dawkins stated.
Yet the GOP wants to stick with Yahweh and Christianity, a discredited model of morality and behavior, mostly because tradition. And tradition sadly amounts to very little more than peer pressure from dead people.
I can do without that, as I suspect can most if not all the regulars here.
Not so long ago a local Christian used the “God created everything so he can destroy anything and it’s not wrong” dodge on me. I can’t argue with (stupid) logic like that.
There are 66 books in the bible. Way to cherry pick.
How about: being shot at 6:11 is a clear indication that Trump should follow Mark 6:11; "And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
They’re delivered by four white doves, each holding the corner of a snow-white swaddling blanket as an angelic chorus rises over the distant golden hills and the morning sun emerges through orange clouds that swirl into the shape of her Lord and Master. As a ray of golden sun shines down upon her, two more white doves lovingly waft a crown of lilies of the field onto her golden tresses and a voice from the heavens declares “This is my beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. And if she wasn’t my daughter, I’d totally fuck her brains out.”
I’m still waiting for the moment that a drugged-out Bloated Yam, high on uppers and Viagra, staggers into his daughter’s room and has his way with her….
That's okay, lady. Your wishes aren't required. Neither is your permission. We're entirely capable of living our own lives, on our own terms, with no interference from you or any of your theocratic bedfellows, without the blinders of your superstition, the guilt of your imagined sins, or the burden or fealty to your imaginary friend. We're not troubled by any care or concern about being rewarded or punished in the hereafter, because we've committed ourselves to living good lives in the here and now. We don't need to be threatened or beaten into behaving ourselves, unlike you- and we'd be pleasantly contented with our place in the order of reality... if only you'd kindly fuck off and quit bothering us.
She won't fuck off and leave us alone. She wouldn't wish godlessness on anyone, but she 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 wish her brand of God on everyone, to the point of trying to make it mandatory by law.
She would do more than just wish, given the means and opportunity. She would force it down our throats, mandate it by holy decree, insist that all believe as she believes and create a real-world hell for anyone who contests her order.
And no, I don't think I'm exaggerating in the slightest here.
Well, I really don’t begrudge people from having imaginary friends (i.e.: God, Jesus Christ, et al). The problem I have with them is that they’re just so bloody loud about it at the same time they are playing from behind. And, while we’re on the subject, maybe they wouldn’t be so chronically behind if they weren’t such shitty witnesses to the faith they proclaim. In the meantime, I guess I’ll just have to be a happy heathen.
I think what you describe is about at least a couple things. Thing One is "The Great Commission," wherein Christians were told to spread the word to the whole world, and as you know, Christians tend to do as they're told [certain exceptions apply!]. Thing Two is their insecurity about their faith. Personally, I think the Christians who cry the loudest are the ones who are the least confident in their beliefs, and they need EVERYONE to agree with them to salve their insecurity. This of course will never happen, and at some level they KNOW this, which makes them all the crazier.
That’s so true. And the type of Christian you are referring to lives in a bubble, often of their own creation, instead of finding out about the world around them. It brings to mind a saying from Mark Twain “travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow mindedness”. For me, that includes the travel outside of the bubbles we feel most comfortable in. Once we step beyond them, we discover a world of possibilities, wonder and welcome.
"Your wishes aren't required. Neither is your permission."
THIS! !!!! YES!!!! And everything that follows!!!!!
The thing that is simultaneously the most infuriating and the most horrifying about them is their smug self assurance that their permission should be required for the very existence of other people.
I think the MAGA sheep are going to be surprised. The Purity Brigade is going to cast out the "fake" Christians in favor of those who have dedicated their lives to Trump first and Jesus second.
That same "Purity Brigade" will set off innumerable internecine conflicts between denominations, all of them asserting that THEY got it RIGHT and EVERYONE ELSE got it WRONG.
We need TRIBUNALS, with witnesses attesting to the fake Christianity, like FEEDING HUNGRY KIDS, who does that?? Or taking in the stranger or caring for the sick! SHAME!
Project 2025 wants to eliminate school programs that feed poor kids and families that just couldn't afford to feed themselves in spite of the Bible telling them to show love and compassion to the poor by giving them food to eat.
And this worthless project is authored by those filthy rich, far out Christian dirtbags who heartlessly refuse to part their $$$ towards bettering the lives of poor people everywhere.
You got that right, Sko. When these people talk about 'religious freedom', they aren't talking about mormons, JWs, christian scientists, 7th day adventists, etc., etc., etc., They're ONLY talking about snake handling/babble speaking evangelicals/
Oh, but her gawd has "other plans" for her. Gawd needs her to remind everyone of the lurking evil that is the godless left so she can't be a tradwife because that's not a big enough platform and besides gawd told her she's soooooooo super SPESHUL.
Ick. I need a margarita but it's too early in the morning.
Notice she didn't have the basic human compassion to mention the GOP voter who was killed or the 2 who were critically injured - let alone that the gunman was one of their own... That fist in the air is an act of defiance. Trump also didn't call the family who lost a Husband/Father nor did he go visit the 2 survivors. Apparently, he went golfing the next day. I can hardly wait to hear the 'christian love' which pours out of his mouth tonight.
To be fair, the very last thing I'm in the mood for when I've lost someone dear to me is to having to repeatedly answer the phone and listen to strangers who knew neither of us offering their condolences, no matter how genuine their compassion might be.
They care more about a nicked ear than their own people who had gathered to support them. But at least they aren't "the godless left," sez Little Miss Sunshine.
Yes, Sweetie, and neither was the shooter. Put that in your pie hole and chew on it.
They're fueled by hate. The only way they can have peace is to release that hate on others and get high off it by congratulating themselves on what good moral folks they are Then they come down from that high and the cycle continues. Work up a good head of hate, stomp all over other people for daring to exist and release that hate on them again. And again. And again and again.
As with any addictive substance, they need more and more hate and violence to get that glorious "I'm so moral" high.
Where was the right's sympathy for Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul, who was nearly bludgeoned to death by a Canadian far-right conspiracy fantasist named David DePape? And Paul Pelosi wasn't even the intended target. It was Nancy herself.
Where was your outrage then, righties? Hypocrites.
Got news for you, Sunshine: YOU are godless. There's no evidence for deities of ANY kind, yours included.
Unless you're talking about the Orange Idol you worship as a god. The same idol who is everything that embodies your religion's Antichrist; who has repeatedly violated your 7 Deadly Sins. The same idol that has mocked his own MAGA supporters, calling them "morons" and "kind of pathetic." The same idol that has mocked evangelicals, calling them "hustlers" and "conmen," saying they're "full of shit."
We aren't their neighbors, or they don't think that we are. We are "THE OTHER." We may not quite be human in their eyes, which justifies their castigation of us and anyone else who disagrees with them.
What many Christians miss is made clear in the parable of the Good Samaritan, that our neighbors are exactly the type of people you can't stand. And the Samaritan did not ask what the man's politics were, his nationality, his faith or lack thereof. It is assumed the wounded man was Jewish - i.e. the Samaritan's enemy. He did not care.
And two other important Jewish leaders saw the man first but walked on past him because they had more important things to do than help one of their own.
FTR, President Joe Biden reached out to the widow of the firefighter who was killed; she refused to take his call. The President has also reached out the families of the wounded. To date, Donald Trump hasn't called any of them.
So, children, let's open our bibles to the parable of the Good Samaritan and ask ourselves, which one was being a good neighbor, a caring fellow citizen, AND a good christian?
Republicans, the party of personal responsibility, always has to have someone to blame all the country's problems on. As for Donald Trump, he never exhibited any compassion for anyone in his life, so it shouldn't come as a shock people tended to return the favor. Republicans pander to the preachers, while viewing human decency as a character flaw. They are oblivious to the countless horrors perpetrated by Christians in the name of Christianity.
Countless Dems are people of faith....it's just that most of 'em aren't assholes about it. 🙂
Some of the most mean-spirited and judgemental people I have ever known never missed church.
So wierd but also true! Give me an Atheist any day! Remember the "Atheist Lady" & her family? She pissed off alot of people but she was right! And she loved America! She also just disappeared one day! ☠️ Nobody ever found her body or any reason for her disappearance in early 80's! Can't remember her name...
Madalyn Murray O'Hair
OMG! Thank YOU! She was a hero for Democracy! We should not forget her or her family! ✌️💙
We need another of her I keep saying. They have undone all her good work.
Madalyn Murray O'Hair was murdered for the money they raised. She and her family were all found dismembered in shallow graves, when the muderer confessed, (he had her car so it was kind of obvious) there were three of them, one of whom used to work for her her but they fired him.
Oh ya! Now it's all coming back to me! That was so messed up! Over greed, we lose a brilliant & fearless woman like Madalyn! These days especially, I feel would benefit from her no nonsense commonsense... Hope I'm making my point! I need coffee now! Thank you for your stellar memory!! ✌️💙
I so respected what she did for our country, and It pains me that they are undoing all her tireless efforts to make us more sane, and equal. I keep commenting in “the friendly Atheist” substack tha we need a new person like her to fight for all our rights!
How else will they gossip about those who aren't there?
The only things I ever learned from the forced catholicism of my youth was 1) who isn't going to heaven, 2) who to hate [Jews], and 3) smug self-righteousness.
I would add a fourth -guilt.
And a 5th: don't ask questions.
The Missouri Synod Lutheranism of my youth taught me 1) Catholics aren’t going to heaven and should know better because Martin Luther told them so, 2) Jews are to be pitied for failing to recognize Jesus as the Messiah but they are getting into heaven on the “chosen people” technicality, which isn’t really fair but God can’t change his mind*, and 3) smug self-righteousness.
*never mind God changing his mind over and over in the bible.
_"“chosen people” technicality"_
luv it that's hilareous !! thanks
One true church as well?
Of course! Ours!!!
That's funny, the catholics told me the same thing!
Nothing wrong with loving God! just can't shove it down anyone's throat anymore! Thank you 1st amendment!!✌️💙
🎯Jimmy Carter the us best Christian, for one.
The left is godless, eh? You say that like it's a BAD thing. To enumerate all the crap that the god of the bible has laid on humankind would take a book: that same bible. From murdering kids because they taunted a bald man to using a scapegoat to cure a situation created by the being who supposedly created reality, Yahweh is indeed and demonstrably, "The most unpleasant character in all fiction," as Richard Dawkins stated.
Yet the GOP wants to stick with Yahweh and Christianity, a discredited model of morality and behavior, mostly because tradition. And tradition sadly amounts to very little more than peer pressure from dead people.
I can do without that, as I suspect can most if not all the regulars here.
Butt, butt, butt... You are taking it out of context !
The context makes it worse.
“In which context is drowning almost everyone on earth moral?” - Non Stamp Collector
Not just the people. He drowned millions of innocent puppies and kittens.
And a whole lot of plant life that would not recover from that much time deprived of air and sunlight.
Not so long ago a local Christian used the “God created everything so he can destroy anything and it’s not wrong” dodge on me. I can’t argue with (stupid) logic like that.
So we’re held to a higher standard than God? Just because you created your child doesn’t mean it’s alright if you destroy ze.
Ooh, that’s good! I’ll use that next time.
Which is what they say every time we hit the target, dead-center bull, they know it, and they have no other retort.
𝗟-𝗔-𝗠-𝗘.
I agree but Richard Dawkins can suck my girl dick. His whole pivot to “cultural Christianity” is the same thing but worse just like secular Zionism.

It was actually 18:11, so let's see what kind of verse that brings us.
Matthew 18:11
King James Version
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
well that sucks.
I have faith that people like her are assholes.
I have proof that people like her are assholes.
And they provide us with more and more proof every time they open their mouths.
She doesn't have any holes in her body...she's probably got six kids and is still a virgin.....
Gawd sends her babies wafting down directly from heaven and into her waiting arms.
I think I just made myself a little sick.
The stork delivers them….
Oh, too unbiblical.
They’re delivered by four white doves, each holding the corner of a snow-white swaddling blanket as an angelic chorus rises over the distant golden hills and the morning sun emerges through orange clouds that swirl into the shape of her Lord and Master. As a ray of golden sun shines down upon her, two more white doves lovingly waft a crown of lilies of the field onto her golden tresses and a voice from the heavens declares “This is my beloved daughter in whom I am well pleased. And if she wasn’t my daughter, I’d totally fuck her brains out.”
I’m still waiting for the moment that a drugged-out Bloated Yam, high on uppers and Viagra, staggers into his daughter’s room and has his way with her….
That looks good…
I just remember the stork from “Dumbo” and other cartoons.
Excellent!
In a cabbage patch.
yeah .. i got yer 'stork' right here :-)
Barbies never do.
Except Margot Robbie in the movie…
But only at the end of the movie.
Very true.
No faith required. We have evidence. Lots of it.
Of course, facts mean nothing to those who have God at the center of their lives.
I could enjoy a day without THIS "Sunshine".

If only they'd put half as much effort into creating heaven on Earth as they do making it into hell.

Boo! Scared?

The thing that is simultaneously the most infuriating and the most horrifying about them is their smug self assurance that their permission should be required for the very existence of other people.

So, she is moral and compassionate ? Where are her words for the dead man, his widow and their children ? Aren't they on your side ?
She should fuck off and be a good trad wife like her god ordained her to.
Oh, but her gawd has "other plans" for her. Gawd needs her to remind everyone of the lurking evil that is the godless left so she can't be a tradwife because that's not a big enough platform and besides gawd told her she's soooooooo super SPESHUL.
Ick. I need a margarita but it's too early in the morning.
Just tell yourself you are in France. It's nearly 5 pm here 😁
It's 5 o'clock somewhere. Now we know where.
You are a little late, it's now 18:23 😁
I'm curious, do you still call it 6:23 or do you call it 18:23?
Both.
How time flies. :)

Notice she didn't have the basic human compassion to mention the GOP voter who was killed or the 2 who were critically injured - let alone that the gunman was one of their own... That fist in the air is an act of defiance. Trump also didn't call the family who lost a Husband/Father nor did he go visit the 2 survivors. Apparently, he went golfing the next day. I can hardly wait to hear the 'christian love' which pours out of his mouth tonight.
Worthy of note that Biden at least TRIED to contact the wife of the victim, though his call was refused, as I understand it.
Biden gives a damn about people, always has, always will. Trump gives a damn about TRUMP ... and damned little else.
To be fair, the very last thing I'm in the mood for when I've lost someone dear to me is to having to repeatedly answer the phone and listen to strangers who knew neither of us offering their condolences, no matter how genuine their compassion might be.
He is probably the most narcissistic leader since Caligula.
I think nero, commodus, hitler, pol pot and some African dictators can compete.
At least Caligula loved his horse.
They care more about a nicked ear than their own people who had gathered to support them. But at least they aren't "the godless left," sez Little Miss Sunshine.
Yes, Sweetie, and neither was the shooter. Put that in your pie hole and chew on it.
Perhaps they had an historic antecedent in mind. An ear has played a part in previous state affairs.
https://warfarehistorynetwork.com/article/the-war-of-jenkins-ear/
Neither side had clean hands at the start but that did not stop them.
That assumes they know anything about history, especially non-US history. What little they do know comes from the propagandist Barton.
As I regularly tell the anti-abortion nutjobs at Planned Parenthood, "If you're an example of what Jesus does for people, you can keep him."
"But this movement, this MAGA movement, is full of people who love our country but love God."
Yeah, we saw that good MAGA Christian love play out at the Capitol on January 6 2021. Get your head out of your hinder, Sunshine.
As the old saying goes, there's no hate quite like "Christian love."
Funny how their religion brings them no peace. Christianity's not all it's cracked up to be, it would seem.
They're fueled by hate. The only way they can have peace is to release that hate on others and get high off it by congratulating themselves on what good moral folks they are Then they come down from that high and the cycle continues. Work up a good head of hate, stomp all over other people for daring to exist and release that hate on them again. And again. And again and again.
As with any addictive substance, they need more and more hate and violence to get that glorious "I'm so moral" high.

Not sure she has one, though.
Got news for you, Sunshine: YOU are godless. There's no evidence for deities of ANY kind, yours included.

What about “Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor”?
We aren't their neighbors, or they don't think that we are. We are "THE OTHER." We may not quite be human in their eyes, which justifies their castigation of us and anyone else who disagrees with them.
What many Christians miss is made clear in the parable of the Good Samaritan, that our neighbors are exactly the type of people you can't stand.

They’ve already accepted jeezus so they’re preemptively forgiven for all sins past and future forever and ever and ever!
See the precedent set by alitosis and his traitorous wife.
Some of them will tell you it applies only to perjury. Why do you think they try to avoid the witness stand?
You'd think they would have more of a problem with that, especially since it's one of the Big Ten that they otherwise won't shut up about.
But no, the official line on bearing false witness is that it's fine as long as it's in the interest of serving Jeezuz.
FTR, President Joe Biden reached out to the widow of the firefighter who was killed; she refused to take his call. The President has also reached out the families of the wounded. To date, Donald Trump hasn't called any of them.
So, children, let's open our bibles to the parable of the Good Samaritan and ask ourselves, which one was being a good neighbor, a caring fellow citizen, AND a good christian?
Republicans, the party of personal responsibility, always has to have someone to blame all the country's problems on.

Republicans pander to the preachers, while viewing human decency as a character flaw. They are oblivious to the countless horrors perpetrated by Christians in the name of Christianity.
