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

Pastor Mike wants YOU to "enlist"

This started when someone linked to The Freethinker UK on Facebook to this story http://freethinker.co.uk/2011/08/29/mad-pastors-facebook-presence-vanishes-after-he-proposes-a-register-for-atheists/

Hmm...so this pastor wants to have a national atheist registry. Ok, fair enough, however I want a registry for EVERYONE religion in this country...all the different hundreds of them out there while they're at it (including whatever flavor Mike subscribes to)

Now, down in the comments someone had linked to Mike's blog on Blogspot as well. Apparently he got his panties in a twist and had to respond on his blog here http://pastorstahl.blogspot.com/2011/08/atheists-arent-ashamed-of-being.html

I don't know which he is more...funny...or just stupid.

Take this for example: "I'll take the 'blame' for them just now cathing up to it , as perhaps I used too many syllables for their brains to process at a normal pace , huh?" Hmm...quite the near Ad Hominem attack against an entire freaking group of people...that's pretty low...especially after surveys have shown that atheists are smarter than those who subscribe to a religion (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/2111174/Intelligent-people-less-likely-to-believe-in-God.html)

And here's another example: "lack of belief is really an attempt by atheists to avoid facing and defending the problems in their atheistic position." WE don't need to defend our position, we got to our "lack of faith" after reading and examining their scriptures and determined that its all a bunch of bullshit. However, I can take this for a 180 and put the burden of proof on him in that HE should be the one ready to provide evidence that his sky tyrant and jebus actually exist. And no, the buybull does NOT count as that is just a collection of fairytales told to little children to scare the ever living shit out of them.

This one really gives me a giggle: "Y'all may not LITERALLY be "demons," but y'all are certainly under Satan's demonic control!" Hmm...it's REALLY hard to be under the control of something that doesn't exist...I might as well say that I'm under control of ganesha or zeus or thor or any of the MANY gods/goddesses that have existed through the ages. So, I can say that he is under the control of those who came before him and preached the same bullshit as he professes to believe in now (and its called brainwashing for those that want an easy word to describe it).

Ooooh, this one makes me chortle with laughter! "And NO! I won't post any comments and / or dignify them with people who REFUSE to want to know the truth of God's Word ( NOT MINE! )." Oh-ho, we finally get to the meat of the situation. In case you're wondering, someone over on the freethinker posted this to which Mike replied "You won't post the comment I sent nor any others unfavorable to your preaching. Dare you post those you chose to omit. Afraid?" So, he says he's not "afraid" of any atheist but won't let anyone post any sort of comment that contradicts his own belief...yeah...that's not just stupid but shows he's TOTALLY afraid of what someone smarter than he could say (and easily discount his beliefs as well)

Oooh, and a jem of a finale as well!! "- They'll hide behind the security blanket of their keyboards...being atheists in their PUBLIC blogs...someone like me mention putting their names on a PUBLIC registry...they whine like little school girls" Hmm...might want to be careful with that one Mike, usually people make fun of people calling them names (such as this) when they're only trying to hide that of themselves...or maybe your like a catholic priest and just haven't had anyone publicly come out about you yet (I can't say for certain).

I just find it funny when christards have to get on a blog and bitch and whine and moan like this. Its obvious they're scared of something (the truth about their fairytale lies told them as a child) and don't want to have to deal with the inevitable that they're doing nothing but wasting their only life which exists here and now instead of having fun and helping their fellow human beings as a true humanist would.
