Atheism

[spike]

Watched another "30 days" the other night where an Atheist mom went to live with a super-christian family for a month.

What I was really surprised by were some of the trivia that was presented in the show like 50% of the US would not vote for someone running for office if they were Atheist and also the most qualified.

Anger and discrimination against atheists was something far more evident than I had realized.

The other side of the coin is that those who demand to vote only for religious also mean that they only care to vote for the 'correct' religion.

I'm surprised it was only fifty percent.

I'm not. It's been in slow decline since the 1950's.

From my point of view religionism has been enjoying a pretty good resurgence in the last 10 or 15 years. Might just be a POV thing and it might have something to do with moving to the bible belt though.

Ketchup? On a baby? Heathen.

I don't understand this issue, either...I think it contradicts the whole seperation of church and state thing.

Not that it would ever happen due to the way the GOP primaries work, but I wonder what would happen if in the general election we ended up with a

Democrat who is pro-choice yet a self-prefessed Christian
and a
Republican who is pro-life yet agnostic or athiest.

I thought salsa first but then I figured that was only appropriate for a mexican baby.

*Looks around for the PC cops.*

 

[tonksy]

It would think sour cream would be appropriate

Chives? Bacon bits?

 

[Professur]

Girl or boy baby?

 

[tonksy]

Don't forget the cheddar cheese.

 

[chcr]

Don't forget the cheddar cheese.

Chop some green onion and make it a loaded baby?

 

[tonksy]

As long as the loaded baby doesn't have a loaded diaper.

 

[chcr]

As long as the loaded baby doesn't have a loaded diaper.

Eeewwww!!!!!

To quote Alton Brown: That's not good eats.

[tonksy]

Oh, because that is sooo much worse than the things that you say, Mr. Great Dane porn collector.

 

[Professur]

Huh? I just though you wouldn't want to accidently get the vid clip of the ....



Never mind.

Damn I love OTC. Take something mundane like athesism & turn it into a baby eating thread *fist-in-the-air*
