What the Bible says about...
Hemorrhoids
If you disobey the Old Testament’s laws, God will give you hemorrhoids (along with other nasty things).
The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. —Deuteronomy 28:27
God smote an entire city (Asdod) with “emerods [hemorrhoids] in their secret parts.”

Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation. It's for procreation.
Woman: But it can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.
Does The First Amendment Protect Atheists?
letterstomycountry:
You’d think so, but not according to a District Court Judge in Pennsylvania:
There is a surprising story out of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania that seems the perfect storm of religious tensions. You begin with Ernie Perce, an atheist who marched as a zombie Mohammad in the Mechanicsburg Halloween parade. Then you add Talaag Elbayomy, a Muslim who stepped off a curb and...

A Reasonable Faith is an Oxymoron
This is what I think. I’ve previously argued for this in a different way when I quipped, Faith is an Irrational Leap Over the Probabilities. This is an ongoing discussion though. It would take more than what I’ve written to show this to be the case. But I think it is the case. Sometimes in a post all I can do is state my conclusions and give a few good reasons for them. This is especially true...

A Misunderstanding

stream-of-unconsciousness:
“I hate when people shove their religion down my throat! Now open your mouth so I can shove my lack thereof down yours.”
— Atheists
Let us clear up this fundamental misunderstanding. Atheists aren’t shoving disbelief down anyone’s throat. We are protecting human rights. We are standing up for homosexuals...

solarmetronome asked: Every single one of the horizon academy testimonies from the link on the boarding school you posted included a student with heavy stuttering, that seemed to have self esteem issues after the school. I suggest looking at some of the works of the intellectuals that spearheaded the Vietnam protests. People like Abbie Hoffman or Tom Hayden actually described the wrath and paranoid ignorance of the...

These places exist IN AMERICA, they’re completely legal, and they’re only growing. It’s the new solution for parents who have kids that don’t conform blindly to their religious and political views, let me explain: After the initial shock of what I thought was a kidnapping, it was explained to me that my parents had arranged for me to attend Horizon Academy (http://www.horizonacademy.us/) ...

Handicapped People
Ex.4:11
Who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?
Lev.21:17-23
Whosoever … hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or...

Prayer for the Right to Life
unfriendlyatheist:
badwolfcomplex:
O heavenly Father, strengthen us against the mounting forces of anti-life; enlighten those who walk in this deadly way that they may see the enormity of their sin and return to the generous observance of the divine law.
We pray, too, for mothers, that they may prize the great privilege of motherhood; and that they may bring up their children in the holy...

Why are atheists so rude?

“We should attack their military bases, their military convoys, we should kill...”
– Sometimes I feel I live in bizarro world. Let’s see the US president is apologizing to a country of people who treat women like shit, burning them, torturing and killing them for the most idiotic of issues. A country dominated by religious zealotry so strong than every time anything they don’t...
Dear theists intent on converting an atheist:
teachthemhowtothink:
Please know that darn near every atheist you will encounter that was once Christian (including myself) has already heard every single argument for a god and have found them insufficient. They most likely know the bible better than 80% of believers and they know more about other world religions than 95% of the population. There are no new arguments. Everything Christians...
