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

My Dream

This post came about from my comment to a reply on my Martin Luther King post

Now, I'm definitely not a visionary or an orator like MLK was, but, nonetheless...here we go. All references to religion are major non-earth based religions.

Just like Martin Luther King, I too have a dream. I dream of a day when religion no longer controls the world around me. When all people truly are treated as equals and there is NO second class citizens. For too long religion has dictated and controlled people into thinking that you MUST believe in God in order to truly live and this has extended out to the people who run, not just the US, but for the most part the world.

These people have actively been trying to make things fit their narrowed view of reality. This includes preventing equal rights for anyone who isn't just like them.

People who are gay or lesbian

People who believe in a world based religion

People who fit into the counter culture

People who fit neither gender mold and instead bring themselves up to a higher point.

These are just a few people who are affected by the cult of religion. This cult has managed to, time and time again, change things to make them fit it's views and not allow anything else.

I do not need the "parenting" of an invisible sky fairy who tells me that sex is only between a man and a woman only after their married and then only specifically to reproduce. No, this is a world where someone should be able to relax and enjoy themselves without causing harm or distress to others as well.

If this dream were a realization back between 0CE and through about 1960CE...could you imagine where we, as the human race, would be now? Sure we wouldn't have all the religious art and buildings, but then again, most of them are just showing the outright thievery that religion has committed over the years.

I hope that this dream can come to fruition before I become too old to be able to understand the natural world around me. Until then, I will fight for my, and anyone else who has been displaced by the cult of religion, rights to be able to live in complete comfort in an non-bigoted world where I can freely express myself and who I am.
