it was't just a bad song

By a clapped-out man who was totally fucked-up by too much sex, drugs and rock and roll and who wasn't, nevertheless, averse to fleecing your pocket.

It's your dream.

So go on, imagine there's no religion.

Then tell us how Stalin should've turned your dreams into reality.

one for alan

Who thinks blog moderators should allow others to call him a wanker but is too lazy to set up and moderate his own blog.

Happy to oblige you Alan: you're a wanker.

spongjohn hereticpants

For those who think that John Shelby Spong is either a Christian or has anything meaningful to say - apart from making bullying, condescending and borderline racist remarks to anyone who disagrees with him both verbally and in his infamous letters. Oh, and trumpeting his own self-importance.

You may not note how his own episcopacy and influence has been met with a mass exodus from the ECUSA/TEC, particularly in his diocese, nor may you reference his trials for heresy or the fact that everyone but a few dumb-arse pew sitters and pew jumpers and a bunch of queers and loony left journos ignore him.

Progressive Christians, recovering fundamentalists with giant chips on their shoulders, unitarians and syncretists welcome.

A must for self-stimulators.

when the world seems out of control

Or you are, but you don't want to take any responsibility nor admit that you need help. Blame God. Hey why not, He doesn't exist so He can't hurt you.

if you only had a brain

But you don't. So set up all your straw man arguments against God, religion, faith, believers here.

bible bashing

Because this is the only Bible you have ever read (if you can read at all, or have ever read the Bible) but you can still tell anyone what it REALLY says AND interpret it better than anyone else, including all the doctors and theologians of the church and the community of the faithful.

Any concession to Christian tradition or reason strictly prohibited. Biblical criticism out of bounds. Brains must be left at the door. This is no ordinary book or even set of books.

Go where no Protestant has even ever feared to tread. It's nuda scriptura and nuda ego all the way.

because there's always someone with a guitar

All your looney tunes about tolerance, world peace, yada yada here.

no one expects the spanish inquisition

Which is why you simply love bringing it up.

Fufil all your inquisitorial needs here.

hitler and the nazis

Go on. You know you want to.

galileo

Of course you know exactly what the whole fuss over Galileo was about, right? So tell us what you don't know.

crush the crusades

Vent about the Crusades here. Make sure you blame the mackerel-snappers or anyone mildly resembling a god-botherer of the Christian sort for an unprecedented slaughter, never to be repeated again in history. Hey call it genocide.

You may not mention the 270 million non-believers of Islam killed in the last 1400 years for the glories of Jihad. Anything mildly sniffing of history or linking to reputable sources will be deleted.

esoterica

Being such rational human beings who spurn all the delusions and superstitions of believers, this is where you put all your esoterica. Go right ahead: empty out your local theosophy bookstore here. Add a conspiracy theory and a code or two. Then sit back and enjoy the warm inner glow.

Gnostics, druids, Barbara Thiering, Dan Brown, Episcopalians, Elaine Pagels and Dominic Crossan all welcome.

BYO calculator and patchouli oil.

hello, my name is angry and i'm an atheist

A safe place to tell us your personal path to liberation from oppressive religion without scorn or ridicule (but only liberation from the Judeo-Christian sort, the Muzzies might kill ya, and the Hindus won't care).

Indeed, share with us your teenage philosophy of atheism and feel the love in our supportive environment.
