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

Articles of faith...or stupidity part 7

We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, and so forth.


Ya know...I just call this being fucking crazy!


Let's think about this for a minute...if you were to walk up to or someone walked up to you and started babbling in random languages, and you know for a fact this person could only speak the same language as you, there should be only ONE thought going through your head "What...the fuck...is wrong with him/her?" Speaking in "tongues" as they put it is just a religious way to justify either stupidity or insanity....probably both.


As far as prophecy, revelations, visions and such...I have them to, however, I know when I'm in a dream...be it a night time dream or daydreaming. Anyone who has had such a vision, I would challenge them to tell me a few things...such as what they were doing when this occurred, what were they thinking of, was it at night when most people are asleep. If they could answer these and a few more and prove without ANY doubt that they were not tired, delusional, high, or were recently hit in the head...then I'll ask them to tell me what's going to happen...if it happens, I'll consider it but it MUST happen a MINIMUM of 3 times otherwise I WILL dismiss it as a simple little case of dejavu and that they imagined it.


interpretation of tongues...well...first off if the person is SPEAKING in the tongues we already know they're fucking psychotic. Now...for a person to say they understand the random babbling...that person is even more insane than the idiot who's doing the babbling...it's like watching a VERY bad Abbot and Costello skit. Sadly, people still think that this is an amazing god given skill...honestly...if someone speaks to me in just one other language, I'll learn that language and speak to them. But if that person is speaking several at the same time, you better bet your ass that I'll be calling the men in white.


Healing...well fuck, that's simple, go see a fucking doctor! >_< With the semi-recent news of faith-based healing deaths...it's obvious that wishing (as that's all a prayer is at the simplest level) for someone to get well isn't effective at all. Hell, when I was in the hospital back in August, people wished me well...did I get better any faster...nope, I still can't walk on my left leg...I even think some people in my neighborhood prayed for me to get better...without asking me either...bastards =_=

    The utter failure of "standing on the promises" discourages very few people, I'm sorry to say. Religious faith is nothing if not a testament to our species' ability to rationalize away the obvious when it doesn't coincide with that which we want to believe.

    Yeah...that's why I call it sheer stupidity to believe in something such as this...though..I'm really tempted to learn like 5 languages and walk up to them and just start randomly talking in all 5 to see the reaction I'd get.

    They'll surely believe you've received the gifts of the holy spirit, even if it's pig latin or eskimo...lol
