<title>Reason Being : Atheists: It is Time to Speak Up</title>
<link>http://reason-being.com/index.php/2013/02/08/atheists-it-is-time-to-speak-up/#IDComment567952006</link>
<description>The American brand of Christianity is of a &lt;b&gt;very pushy&lt;/b&gt; sort.  By disagreement of their dogma/beliefs alone, they label us atheists as militant.  We are the most distrusted in the U.S. and I suspect it will be that way for a long while. It takes a long time to undo a thousand years of indoctrination. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Can\&#039;t They Just Pray Away the Flu?</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2013/01/cant-they-just-pray-away-flu.html#IDComment550197805</link>
<description>If prayer actually worked, Christians would live longer and wouldn&amp;#039;t fill the hospitals. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : The \&#039;Obama Faked Newtown to Take Our Guns\&#039; Theory</title>

<description>Obama&amp;#039;s proposed ban on assault weapons and limited magazine capacities is a very reasonable ban and &lt;strong&gt;long overdue&lt;/strong&gt;. </description>

<description>People tend to forget the assault weapons ban of 1994-2004.  We did fine then.  If you feel you need an AR-15 to live freely, then you have deep emotional problems...or you&amp;#039;ve wronged a lot of people and you&amp;#039;re worried they might find you. </description>

<description>Remember how the Christians took the names of bands like Kiss and AC/DC, attempting to codify them into (Kiss) Kings in Satan&amp;#039;s Service and (AC/DC) Against Christ, -----?)?? </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : The Most Important Election Ever</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/08/the-most-important-election-ever.html#IDComment428260731</link>
<description>Our election process has turned into a popularity contest among a few candidates...and is based on how much money is raised. Each candidate appeals to their base of conservatives and liberals, but like you said...&lt;strong&gt;nothing changes.&lt;/strong&gt;   </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : The Most Important Election Ever</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/08/the-most-important-election-ever.html#IDComment428098380</link>
<description>I&amp;#039;m not convinced that any presidential administration makes much difference at lower and lower-middle income levels. I contend that the out of touch Senate is our biggest problem..   How can the &lt;strong&gt;common person&lt;/strong&gt; get fair treatment from a bunch of lawyers, lawyers that have been warming the same seats for several terms?   Until &lt;strong&gt;we&lt;/strong&gt; are fairly represented, we bottom-feeders will &lt;strong&gt;always&lt;/strong&gt; be the ones that fill the military ranks, accept lower wages and basically get &amp;quot;shit on&amp;quot;.   No matter who is President, in four years, we are going to be griping about the same issues.   &lt;strong&gt;The system, as it is...doesn&amp;#039;t care about you or me. It cares only for corporate checks and balances.&lt;/strong&gt;   We are at a state of corporate fascism and the only thing left to do is revolt.   &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/www.ellensplace.net\/fascism.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.ellensplace.net/fascism.html&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;a href=&quot;http:\/\/mattweidnerlaw.com\/blog\/2012\/08\/amerika-2012-the-rise-of-the-corporate-fascist-state\/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://mattweidnerlaw.com/blog/2012/08/amerika-20...&lt;/a&gt; </description>

<title>Mississippi Atheists : The Girl Scouts and Everyday Bigotry</title>
<link>http://www.msatheists.org/2012/06/girl-scouts-and-everyday-bigotry.html#IDComment376566813</link>
<description>You are more tolerant than me.  I couldn&amp;#039;t have kept silent when she said, &lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;I think faith makes you a better person&amp;quot;.&lt;/i&gt;    My usual reply to similar statements is more like, &lt;i&gt; That&amp;#039;s not true.  I find it to be quite the opposite&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt; </description>

<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/05/respect-people-not-beliefs.html#IDComment355762104</link>
<description>Your views are exactly like mine on this subject.   In view of the WTC Cross/Facebook hate comments(last July) incident and the death threats against Jessica Ahlquist, I would say that we owe them a few verbal swipes.  </description>

<description>It says that these parents are naive, at least until it happens to their kids. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Mormons: Still Believing in Things Shown to Be False</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/03/mormons-still-believing-in-things-shown.html#IDComment310585201</link>
<description>Religious beliefs give legitimacy to nuttiness. Mormon beliefs are no more crazy than the other Christian brands of &amp;quot;make believe&amp;quot;. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Two Different Responses to Quran Burning</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/02/two-different-responses-to-quran.html#IDComment302184616</link>
<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Hence confirming my belief that of the big 3 Islam is the most retarded little cousin of them all. &lt;/blockquote&gt;   Most retarded?  No!    Christianity beats them all.  Holy water...walking on water...feeding a multitude...virgin birth...Second Coming... </description>

<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/02/christian-right-war-on-education.html#IDComment302023413</link>
<description>Here&amp;#039;s another student like Jessica Ahlquist who&amp;#039;s writing about religious pressures at her school.   &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/feb/26/krystal-myers-school-promotes-religion-and-of/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2012/feb/26/krystal-...&lt;/a&gt; </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Delegitimizing Atheists in the Media</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/02/delegitimizing-atheists-in-media.html#IDComment283830844</link>
<description>I think this happens because we&amp;#039;re viewed as illegitimate.   This also happens when a crime is committed.  If the offender is black, it is noted as such...even after the offender is caught and charged. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Remember Christian Extremism on the 39th Anniversary of Roe</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/01/remember-christian-extremism-on-39th.html#IDComment271657023</link>
<description>As vjack indicated, the abortion issue isn&amp;#039;t exclusive to Christians vs. everyone else.  My question is &amp;quot;how can anyone oppose someone elses decision about their own body?&amp;quot;  I needed no approval to get a vasectomy. </description>

<title>Deep Thoughts : Dinner with atheists</title>

<description>Great story, Mojoey! I live in Missouri and when disclosing my godlessness these days, the responses aren&amp;#039;t quite the ghastly looks that I used to get. </description>

<title>Atheist Revolution : Sharia Ban Unconstitutional</title>
<link>http://www.atheistrev.com/2012/01/sharia-ban-unconstitutional.html#IDComment260790341</link>
<description>They are so terrified that a Muslim population will move into their backyard and possibly demand the same rights as Christians.  But as vjack points out, I doubt that Oklahoma has much to worry about. :( </description>
