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

10 Myths about Atheists Part 1

So I'm gonna get this next set of multi-part entries started.

There are no atheists in foxholes.


I can't even begin to say how stupid this statement is and shows very little information about the actual people who are in the military.

To begin with, and in a very large way, we have what Justin Griffith is doing over on his website http://rockbeyondbelief.com/ He has covered a great many items pertaining to the military as well as outside of the military. For example, the recent "I love jebus" thing done at an elementary school. Though, I think most of what he has covered is military related.

Then there's all the Military Religious Freedom Foundation over at http://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/ This group definitely supports atheists in the military, but I've seen them represent christians who have even had issues with the proselytizing of some evangelical groups within the military.

As we can see, these are 2 rather influential groups/people that show that there are indeed atheists in foxholes and they're doing the damndest to make sure we enjoy the rights we have as Americans. I know its a week past but I would call for those currently enlisted as well as those who are veterans to be remembered on a daily basis as they give up their life daily to protect all of ours.
