QUESTION!

Do you think the altruistic character of the Peace Corps could be tainted by the pretentious American ideal that we are superior in our intellect than eastern and African countries therefore harming the western attitude towards these cultures?

I find this valid and relevant, but it&#8217;s still inexcusable to treat another human being with disrespect and humiliation simply because of their personal beliefs, spirituality, or creed.  We will get the respect we want when we give others the respect they deserve.  The only thing i ask of another person is that they not let their own personal happiness destroy or limit the happiness of another person&#8230; and that is my creed.

christinsanity:

In my case, while I was a teenager, it was “You have the right to your opinion but right now shut the fuck up. Tomorrow you’re going to church.”

Mine was “So you’re just going to go shoot up an elementary school now?”
I’m done. 

i’m too afraid to tell my parents. my mom told me once that if i ever said i was atheist she’d kick me out. 

If that is the case keep it low until you can support yourself. I know it’s a shitty situation - but for the time being the only that can give you food and roof over your head. Some parent’s don’t really mean it, but SOME DO. I don’t think you want to check which ones are yours and end up in a deep shit. Endure, it’ll end and finally you’ll be free.
Also - all the more reasons to claim religion is a fucking toxic crap.

I got told that if you don&#8217;t have a &#8220;higher power&#8221; you pretty much believe you are the higher power and are bound to be a terrible person or something.  Buut i&#8217;m lucky because my parents only care if i&#8217;m happy.  they don&#8217;t understand it but they did&#8217;t disown me or anything. 
this is a great post because these stories are important.  Keep this going keep telling your tale, let us be heard!!!!

Pope says gay marriage is against human nature

theatheistincognito:

I can’t even deal with how ignorant and horrid this is. The Pope has so much influence and is using it to spread hate. Cannot.

YOU’RE A POPE!  you don’t have the license to make those assumptions, you don’t have the education or the authority!!!!  

YOU ARE HARMING OUR SOCIETY 

STOP

PLEASE

THANKS

Claiming “God” is responsible for your success is to assume that this “God” cares more about your success than he does the well-being of millions of people living in poverty.

Personally I can’t understand how a woman with any level of self respect could willingly submit to the major religions.

Honestly I personally know more atheist woman than I do men.

About

I want this blog to be about social issues concerning religion, race, gender, and sexuality. They are a HUGE interest of mine.

I have to say that occasionally I will be wrong and I'm sorry when I am, after all I am only human. ;) However I will do my best to say only what is right and true about these issues.

Thank you for looking!
