Who I am

My photo
I am an atheist, in fact, I describe myself as a Humanist for I believe in the good in people, not mythical beings.

Places to avoid

This is a section for establishments that openly promote religion:

National Chains
Chick-fil-a
In-n-Out Burger
Alaska Airlines (include bible quotes with meals)
Forever 21 (puts John 3:16 on their tags)
Country Bob's sauces (look who the CEO is)
Edwards frozen pies (bible verse on pie tin)
Desert Essence (beauty products)
Estes (aquarium stones)
Food for Life (baked goods)
Brim's Old South (chips and the like)
Daniel Chapter One (look at the mission statement at the bottom)
Curves (gyms, leaves bibles in workout areas)
Aldi Foods (has buybull verses on the inside of egg cartons)

Local
Carter Brothers Bar-B-Que North Carolina

Franchises (companies who don't seem to be religiously affiliated but might have franchisees who do)
Subway

If you know of any others, please send me a message giving me the name of the company and if possible a link to the company's website showing that they promote religious ideas.

For example http://www.incrediblepizza.com/about.php If you look at bullet number 3 under the mission statement. "We operate our business by Christian principles". The alternate of this would be if they have a religious symbol on their products and/or building. In the case of the pizza company, they have the jebus fish on the doors as you walk in.

I have to give credit to the religutards over at http://www.prophecyfellowship.org/archive/index.php/t-147138.html who posted most of these for me to find so easily!

*Megaplex Theatres is owned by the Larry H Miller Corp who gives 10% of their earnings to the LDS church

If you have the name and possibly a website of a company who proseltyzies a religion and would like me to add it, please comment on this post: http://yamipirogoeth.blogspot.com/2010/07/places-to-avoid.html

Very First Post

First off, I'd like to share 2 quotes that have stuck with me recently.

"In the beginning, man created god"

"Fuck religion!"

Unfortunately I do not know where I heard or read that first quote, but I find it very simply states my standing on religion. Anyone who can at least think and properly analyze a book of scriptures can clearly see all the fallacies that are included. To sum them up, this means that believing in some omnipotent being that is all loving...yet a complete and total asshole...isn't exactly something a deity would do...at least not by Christian standards...at least the Greek/Roman gods were honest and admitted to being lazy. This leaves the fact that it only mirrors that which created the stories, humans. Only humans can love a person but be an asshole to them.

The second quote comes from someone that I do admire to some extent. Penn Jilette from Penn & Teller. I really can't say anything except I couldn't agree more with that expression in every way.
