Religion Unfair, Again. Say It Isn't So (So)

It's about time, yo.

Guess what Team Atheist...Bill Donohue is mad, again. "You can trash some religions like Roman Catholicism, with impunity, but you cannot trash Islam, " The Hater known as Bill. Not only is Bill angry, again, but so is the infamous Mooslem hater, Pamela Geller. WTF.

Well, I missed this one the other day, but I'd like to thank the New York Times for being awesome. NYT ran an ad from the super awesome FFRF that suggested Catholic peeps consider leaving their corrupt, dysfunctional, did I say corrupt, boy fuckin' church. So Pam got her hate on because she created a totally similar ad that suggests those Mooslems leave Islam. The NYT turned it down which allows American religionists to cry out their latest tactic "Stop infringing on my religious liberty, bro."

"This shows the hypocrisy of the NYT...and it's willingness to kowtow to violent Islamic supremacist intimidation," The Hater known as Pam.

Pam's turned down ad spews stuffs like "Why put up with an institution that dehumanizes women and non-Muslims...that threatens liberty for women and menaces freedom by slaughtering, oppressing...Join those of us who put humanity above the vengeful, hateful and violent teachings of Islam's prophet," Heart Pam.

Kriss (that's me), " Pot, kettle, black...I know what you are, what am I..rubber glue...and hoppo-crit."

Let's not forget that the so called Prince of Peace (Jesus) in Matt 10:34 arrogantly says "I do not come to bring peace, but a sword." If you don't join the correct Team Jesus (outta so many) and in the allotted amount of time...Jesus/God will kill you. As far as American Christianity treating women and LGBT'ers with equality...fergetaboutit. If I were a Mooslem and an American Christian pointed their hypocritical finger at me, I would cut that shit off. Sheez.

Of course the claim of NYT "kowtow-ing" to Islam is a straw-person. In light of recent stupid headedness by God's American Christian army, you know the killing of 16 innocent peeps by a drunk American Army man and the *accidental* Qu'ran burnings, the NYT decided to postpone Pam's ad not reject it. In light of recent events, I believe that was a reasonable act. Sozzz, what about our ad.

Hello, I'm a photo of Jesus from a TV on a broken phone in Florida.

The whoopla over Freedom From Religion Foundation's leave Catholicism ad is an example of that bad ol' Christian privilege that the atheist blogosphere keeps talking about. For a million gazillion years they have posted numerous ads urging peeps to join their churches, we have one. They have continuously injected their philosophy into the public square for ever and ever and ever without any repercussions. Hell, last year they advertised that the freekin' world was gonna end and spent millions of dollars (with many people using their life savings to get the stupidhead message out) on billboards, buses, cars, print and radio. Isn't that yelling fire in a crowed theatre (yes).

I (sort of) agree with Pam. We definitely need to stop supporting institutions that "dehumanize" women and preach divisiveness. It's just that from the Team Atheist perspective...that includes all religion.

That's Not Cool, More Atheist Haters

OooooKkkkaaaayyyyyy. Team Atheist, as you already know, we are hated-what else is new...well, I'll tell ya...we have also been framed. If you thought xenophobia was only for minorities and Islamophobs-n-shit, well think again.

Pastor Frank Moore, of Mcelroy Road Church of Christ, commissioned a Christian billboard with the very Christian-y message "There is no god. don't believe everything you hear." Uhh (yeah!)..thanks pastor...for doing some good atheist work. If you think it sounds like a billboard from Freedom From Religion Foundation or American Atheist that is because it does. Pastor Moore intentionally designed his believer-y billboard to mimic the awesome atheist billboards.

The thingy about it is that Christian peeps are getting mad (and can ya blame them). Moore intended the message to be something like "those stupid atheist billboards say things like this, don't believe them. Jesus is Lord (my words, not his). Well, apparently Moore's message is not understood (because it sounds like one of our billboards) and believers are hella mad.

In other news, but related to the hate of atheist here in American...Pastor Mike Stahl, head of Church of the Living water wants to make a national registry for, da da daaaa, atheist. Why you ask...

"Brothers and Sisters , I have been seriously considering forming a ( Christian ) grassroots type of organization to be named “The Christian National Registry of Atheists” or something similar . I mean, think about it. There are already National Registrys for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, etc.."

Yeah, just think about it. So dude compares us to terrorist, the KKK and hate groups, why, because we do not believe in dudes specific Gawd. Sheez. If anything, we need to stop Baptist Predators. The hate of atheist is so stupid pants, and you can quote me on that one. There is not "good" or reason to inform the public that individuals do not have the same belief as others. WTF. Distrusting atheist is comparable to distrusting Japanese peeps in WWII or not trusting Islamic peeps right now. I'll say it again...WTF.


Well, I heart ya guys. Team Atheist forever.

I Still Love You After All These Years...

Us previously. Different and yet in love.

I still love you after all these years, but I want you to know the last couple of months has been so hard, ya know with the depression and anxiety (plus that excessive worry that leads to anger, frustration, then me kicking things). The 'zac' has helped, but not enuff and not fast enuff. It was my hope that after a month on the meds that I would return to you and return to the way I used to feel; both felling good, loose and carefree like the Kriss I/you/us knows, and positive feelings for you. Just like with me sitting on the fence as whether to become a full fledged angry atheist v. being an accommodationalist atheist, I'm sitting on the fence on whether to return to you.

I'd probably cry right now, but the tear shipment doesn't come till Tuesday.

 You hurt me so much. It is cliche to say but you crushed my world. When Eva and I broke up that rocked my world (being that she was the first g-friend of my life and all) and when Cleo died, I was devastated (I still think of her to this day.). When you hurt me it was those things multiplied and squared to infinity. If a prophet told me how much I would suffer because of you, I would have laughed in dudes face (and then told him about the New Atheism). There is no way I would have ever thought a tuff guy like me could suffer this much. I'm still in denial and shake my head "this can't be happening, this can't be happening," as I cry in public places and people stop and stare.

I'm an expert at having nervous breakdowns right now and I do not want to be. I can be hanging out with friends and then I feel it coming on. I go down my list of good and positive things: I'm healthy, happy, I have lot's of friends and people that love me. Why, then why am I falling apart right now. Why do I start crying, at any moment, on anyday, for seemingly no reason. I'm so hurt by you.

I keep talking about Nu Kriss and how a change or transformation is going to happen. I dunno about that shit. I think I'm just trying to keep myself occupied, get my mind off of things and kill time while I wait for the prozac to kick in. I keep saying that I'm going to cut my hair (and my new thing is to shave my entire body. Why? I dunno. It doesn't make sense. I do not make sense), and the hair is certainly on the chopping block, but seriously, I don't think I can do that. I'm just sayin'. I'm just killin' time. I'm just waiting.

We don't have to kiss. That would be weird. I would like to be happy, tho.

The past couple of months has been torture. To say that I have suffered is just the beginning of it. I don't know a better word than 'suffering' to describe what I have gone thru. I do not think that a word exists that can describe how torturous it has been for me. Irrational is pretty good. I've never been violent or even been in a fight, but I had to give my gun away because I started have crazy irrational thoughts.  I have never thought about the 'S' word (and, actually I can say it...suicide, suicide, suicide.), but honestly, before I got the meds, there was a moment where I thought that if I went to sleep and I never woke up...then that would be cool (that's not suicide, that is sleeping and never waking up (1).). At that time, I had given up hope.

What am I trying to say....The past couple of months (and actually the depression started in December-ish) has been the tuffest period that I have had to go thru in my life. Suffering and torture begin to describe what I have felt and experienced. I've had many crazy and random thoughts go thru my head because of the excessive worry, the anxiety and depression and finally, now, it is starting to get manageable (I'd say I'm around 85% back to normal, whatever normal is.). What am I trying to say...I'm ready to move forward.

I'm ready to leave the irrational-ness behind. I have never had this much hate in my heart (and frustration and pain etc etc etc...) and it kills me to feel this way. History tells me that this is not what I am like (am I wrong?). Even when I left my biological family I did not feel as (negatively) intensely as I have the past couple of months (and ya know how much I hate them). You hurt me. OK.  I would like to move forward now. I can't live like this. No...no longer will I live like this. I want to be happy. I don't want to suffer anymore. No one should suffer like this, not even an enemy.

I'm babbling now. What is it I'm trying to say...Whether I'm ready or not, and I don't care if the Prozac is working or not (it is working, but not as strongly or as fast as I want it to), I want...no, I need to change this. This is no way to live. Ready or not...I'm moving forward.

Cleo, I still think about you, but missing you doesn't compare to the suffering of the past couple of months. I so badly wish that you were still here, esp. now. I really need your company. I'll make it, but I'm just sayin'. 

(1). Really, look at how honest I have been. I let it all hang out and I don't care about what's or why's. I've never lied and I am always honest even if it means I will look bad. On this blog I've been honest about my love(s) and about my drinking and my drug usage (as well as in life). When I do not know something, then I say it. When peeps call me out about some of the information I write about...I admit when I'm wrong. So that suicide thingy. I've never contemplated that.

I believe that there is a difference between planing on taking ones own life and feeling that (because of intense suffering) if I went to sleep and died of natural causes, and then I never woke up-that would be OK. Is it a loophole and for the first time I'm not being honest? There's a first time for everything, but I don't think that that is the case.

I plan on living and I plan on being happy.

They Are Back, WBC

I find this one hard to believe.

They'rrrrreeeeee baaaaack. Yes it's true. The super yucky, bad and hateful Westboro Baptist Church is going to go all Westboro Baptist Church again and this time it will be at the funeral of former first lady, Betty Ford. Pray tell why. Well because she got a divorce, that is why. The sin of getting a divorce is so bad in their holy eyes that everything falls into a super evil downfall on Fords part (which includes the super evil and liberal media. ya know that media that is the reason for everything evil).


"She couldn't wait to have an audience with a reporter to titter about premarital sex, and how much she loved to teach it to her daughters," the church's website said. "The trashy reporters encouraged her to say more! So she urged all the women of this doomed foul nation to engage in extramarital sex. Then she pushed for abortion, because when you teach a nation's women to be whores, it's inevitable pregnancies will inconvenience the selfish strumpets! That is the legacy of Betty Ford."

In March the Supreme Court ruled by an 8-1 margin that the most hated church in the world has First Amendment rights (which is true, unfortunately). Let's not forget that WBC defers to a higher law, so even if they lost the court case...we still wouldn't be able to get rid of them. But we should forget that they base their ministry on cherry pickin' certain bible passages out of the bible. Forget the other passages that are ignored like a woman can't teach a man, the picking up sticks on Sunday one, Jesus really went to church on Saturday, or any of the other ones that are ignored. 

Actually, let's not forget.
