On Monday, March 12, the Secular Coalition for America, a national lobbying group representing Americans who do not hold a god-belief, will make history by announcing the name of the first open nontheist member of Congress.
Folks this is HUGE — I have no idea who this is (well, I have an IDEA), but s/he is a hero to me, and is going change the future.This is so important, that I pledge $500 to the re-election campaign of this Congressperson, whoever s/he is. GOP or Dem, this person is getting money from me. I urge you to make the same promise, right here, right now.Keep your eyes on the NOGODBLOG for updates!
And just a glimpse of how religion allows crimes to go unpunished?
Libby was found, Guilty!
After the news referring to Libby’ trial, Pat Robertson said, “No crime was committed.”
Evidently, Treason is not a crime in the religious sense?
We need more Atheists in the political arena, now!

“Godless Dollars” latest news, the George Washington Dollars without the inscription, “In God We Trust.”

Change is evidently starting very soon.
No more government funding for religious wars!

I’m with you on this! Sunday sure doesn’t feel like the beginning of the week to me. And, if you make this change then the majority of xians would actually be honoring the “sabbath” because it would be the last day of the week.
It makes me chuckle when I hear xians talk about how wonderful the 10 commandments are, when I know they break them – making graven images (Jesus on the cross up on the wall of the church), not keeping the sabbath (which is SATURDAY, people), etc., etc.
i hope libby doesn’t endup like vince foster.
DeepDiver,
Thanks for the web link, will check it out. Every link is a learning process for me and I refer back to past links to see what may be updated.
666,
Thanks.
Pixel,
I agree, the calenders need changing so that no one feels obligated to belong to any religion, I believe people are happier without any religion.
Xtians do worship those ten commandments. What really gets me about the xtians liking those ten commandments is xtians don’t always admit to breaking any of those ten commandments, however, we as Atheists know the xtians break the ten commandments all the time. Wonder if we should remind them of their ten commandments when they break them?
I admire your stance on the statue of jesus on the cross, I believe those jesus statues on the crosses are really to intimidate the followers of the church. I cannot stand to see that either, that statue on the cross of jesus probably keeps a lot of people out of the churches, it is so horrible to view I feel.
reason,
Yes, I hope Libby doesn’t end up like Vince Foster either.
There is no shame in evolving!

Thou shalt not have any gods before me. That was the first commandment. Then our founding fathers whip up a document basically giving americans the right to worship any god they wanted. They could also ignore any god they wanted to. Then the christians declare this right is founded on christian beliefs. This is ,to put it lightly,conflicting information.
