Preparing for an Emergency

So today Sumner County where I live is under a tornado warning. What do Atheist do if there is a tornado warning. We get prepared and don't wast time praying. Because prayer can only do things that could have happened naturally. Why wont god heal amputees?

I felt like posting this today, because I think prayer is a waste of time. How many people have been dying and instead of saying farewells people pray. People are told god cares even though you are dying of a horrible disease that he won't heal. Or people are told that their faith isn't strong enough.

I know a woman who has been in a wheelchair since childhood. She has had herself literally thrown on the ground by faith healers. And, when she still can't walk, she is told that her faith isn't strong enough. What a horrible joke. So if you are in Kansas and a tornado comes, don't pray just be prepared.

Don't wish, try. Don't wait, proceed, Don't pray, do .

Christian Books at Public School Book Fair

A fellow freethinker discovered christian books at her daughter's school book fair, in Wichita, Kansas. This is an outrage and should never have occurred. I live thirty minutes from Wichita, and frankly this doesn't surprise me at all.

It is quite common in Kansas to hear people talking about doing stuff like this. Multiple times at work people will hand me tracts. I will gladly take them with a smile, and than proceed to the trash can. Kansans love to indoctrinate. I love to spread the good word of rational thought myself, but I try not to preach to someone doing their job. I also avoid school children while preaching. As I have said in past entries I am trying to become an elementary teacher. Now, I don't discuss my faith in schools and people would get rightfully angry if I did. We need to stand up and say don't indoctrinate our children. Luckily the voice saying this is getting louder.

This story was brought to us by the friendly atheist you can get to his blog from here. The link will take you straight to the article in question.

The freedom from religion foundation has been informed and will be taking action. I wish them luck, but I think this case is a pretty straight forward violation of church and state. Christians need to realize they can believe what ever they like, but they can't force our school children to believe it.

Give me a child for his first seven years and I'll give you the man.

YOUTUBE

I am physically worn out from school. Therefore I will not be going in depth with my post, but instead will give you several top atheist you tube videos. I am done with school until next Tuesday though and will resume a normal posting schedule tomorrow

A nice little video by WildwoodClaire

Richard Dawkins on his new book.

A music video by GeniusAtheist to get you thinking.

Finally a funny little cartoon by ChinnuWoW thanks for watching. There is a lot of cussing in the last one. This is how Christians act.

Remember folks with the right amount of imaginary friend chat, you can PRAY AWAY THE GAY

apologies

I apologize for the lack of post these past two days. As I have mentioned I am a student at WSU which can take up a lot of my time. I plan on doing several post tomorrow evening to make up for this. Thank you.

Judge orders Spirit One pastor to stay away from Islamic Center

So for those of you with busy lives with me sum up this article from the Wichita Eagle.

A judge named Phil Journey sentence a pastor name Mark Holick to 12 months of probation, 300 dollars in fines, and to stay 1000 ft away from an Islamic center. The Muslims in the center were trying to celebrate Ramadan when Holick and others stood in front of the center handing out bibles. The police asked Holick to move to a public sidewalk, instead of the centers property, upon refusal he was arrested. 

"Wichita is confused," Holick said. "I am not your enemy. Islam is. The Lord said there will be no other gods before me" He also accused the city of Wichita of violating his first amendment rights.

I personally do not understand why the Christians and religious people in general don't get it.  No one cares what you believe in just don't ruin others celebrations, events, and funerals with it. Thankfully this judge used common sense and decided that Holick was infringing on the Muslims rights not the other way around. Christians just because your not allowed to interrupt another religions ceremony, doesn't mean your persecuted against, it means your pissed that you can't persecute which just makes you a bad person.

Imagine a china teapot, just ridiculous right.

How to Answer the Theist

I found a video that all new converts to atheism should see. These arguments have no doubt been heard by a lot of atheist, but I think for a starting atheist this could help strengthen their arguments. 

 

I unfortunately do not have time for a more in depth post due to school. I do hope however to visit the Atheist group at Wichita State University if possible. I would like to try to set up an interview with them and allow Kansas Atheist to have a voice. 

May Cthulhu reign blessing of death and destruction upon your forsaken realm 

Gay heroes of 9/11

These are the homosexual men and women who died during 9/11. These are some of the people we have to fight for when it comes to the 9/11 memorial.

I am a Kansas atheist which means i live in the great home state of Fred Phelps. You know the God Hates Fags people. During my formative years I also heard many anti gay remarks from my peers. Religion is the enabler of hatred against this group of people. Westboro Church is just the worst we have now, but it can be much worse If we allow it.

The LGBT community honors these fallen, but outside of the LGBT they don't get much mention. When we mention that not all of the people who died in 9/11 were christian, we should mention that they weren't all straight either. Cause if there is one group Christians hate more than atheist its "FAGS" cause you know hating on the LGBT community is a way to show love.

Lets remember these people too when we protest the 9/11 cross. Nobody dies gay or straight. Nobody dies religious or non religious. Nobody dies holy or sinful. We all die as humans we are equal in death and death should not be used to press an agenda.


Live long and prosper
