An extremely patient Dad explains to his vulgarian of a son that Santa doesn’t exist. I’m an ex-sailor and I don’t use the word “fuck” that many times in a week, much less a single conversation. You may need to pause here and there to catch everything said.
Spanish with English subtitles.
Enjoy!

Religious Cult Survivor and Separatism – Part 6 by M.E. Anders
Part 6 of April G.’s story of her escape from a religious cult. Click HERE to read it.
What’s interesting is April’s description of the not-so-subtle attempts to hide the true nature of the group she belonged to. One has to ask; if they have such confidence in their beliefs and practices; why the need for deception?

Whadda ya know?
There are three types of people: those who “don’t know”, those who “believe” and those who “know”.
Those who “don’t know” are open to dialogue and examination of the facts as they are presented. A person who says they don’t know is more likely than not a person you can turn your back on without fear.
Those who “believe” are wild cards. Given one set of circumstances they could follow the path of rationality. Given another set of circumstances they can be easily influenced to commit acts of barbarity. Most people are believers.
Those who say they “know” are also saying that given the right circumstances they will kill to make their point.
Beware those who “know”.
So…where the fuck was “God”?
In reading about the account of an autistic boy who went missing (and was found 6 days later) in Virgina, I came across this little gem of a quote from Hanover County Sheriff David Hines:
There were sometimes that you just had to reach down and find that faith that you were going to find him. Whether it’s appropriate or not for everyone, there is a God. He listens to prayers, and prayers were answered,” he said.
Nice. What eats the lining out of my stomach is that time and again, reporters let people get away with this without offering the slightest challenge. If someone makes an “on the record” comment to a reporter, that comment is fair game to be scrutinized and questioned. Isn’t that what is supposed to happen? Isn’t that what reporters are supposed to do?
When the circumstances were such that the boy could have been lost, where was the miraculous intervention to prevent it from happening in the first place? Where the fuck was “God” THEN?! Taking a nap? Getting laid? Playing poker?

On atheists and activism
I lifted this comment of mine from a post on Atheist Revolution. I think we are limited to what we can or should do as atheists.
The more time that passes, the more I realize just how little I have in common with many of the active atheists online. I also realize full well that the online atheist “community” is not representative of all atheists everywhere and may, in fact, represent only a small but vocal minority.
If there is one quality that all atheists might share in common, it would be the commitment to independent thought, a refusal to do or believe in anything simply because the majority does it or believes in it. Beyond that, I see the complete spectrum of human expression and experience, ranging from neo-fascists to far-left anarchists. Most of us lie somewhere in the middle, I suspect.
If there is one point around which all atheists should rally, it is the determination to prevent our lives being ruled by beliefs that have no foundation or basis in reality. This does not restrict the dialogue to religion, and should include all dogmatic political ideologies as well… from the left as well as from the right.
I find it ironic and frustrating that atheism is so inextricably linked in people’s minds with 20th century communist dictatorships and movements. I hold these up as examples of humans replacing one form of dogmatic beliefs (religion) for another (communism). That the communists claimed to be atheists does little to conceal the fact that they pursued their goals religiously and with little to no regard to reality, logic or critical thinking. They merely replaced one religion with another.
If atheists in the United States are to organize effectively AS ATHEISTS, we will need to limit our goal to simply fighting the efforts of others to legislate their religion on the rest of us. Anything beyond that and we stray into waters that are muddied and confused at best.
Godless Monster update….
Been quite busy the last month or so! Fighting a litigious ex-client/employer and…getting ready for a new addition to the Monster family.

I’ll be back and ranting soon, I expect (hope for) the legal battle to end any day now.
