Atheist Alley: A Travel Agency it Ain't

http://sarahlaimbeer.blogspot.com/2011/06/travel-agency-it-aint.html

A Travel Agency it Ain't. God formed our wonderful world and then added religion to prevent us from safely exploring every area? I will create a plethora of magnificent attractions, and then add people, who, based on their belief in me, will stop their counterparts from experiencing said magnificent attractions.". DVDs, or donated to the Boy Scouts. Plan a vacation based on our current world. Then plan a vacation as if religion never existed. Look at your itineraries and marvel at the difference. To what...

I Worship Monica from "Friends". There has been much controversy lately about the depiction of gods and prophets for comedic purposes on television. Comedy Central censored cartoon images of the Prophet Mohammad a few weeks ago because the people who drew him received what basically amounted to death threats. More on my new religion later. We can't take away the freedom of people to air programming they deem likely profitable in order to appease people with whom they disagree. And there are thousands of ...

Though publicly most religions promote peace, love and harmony; they're actually rooted in fear and paranoia. While we all have foibles, most people involved with organized religion would be much better individuals were their reaction to seeing a holy book, "What in the world is that? Fearing the unknown, they choose to believe a tale that eventually puts them in heaven for all of eternity. Because of this fear, they're forced to champion positions with which they would otherwise likely disagree. The fea...

I find it fascinating that Christians in America have a monopoly on good. They hoard it. Because of at least one flaw, no other group can lay claim. With their silence, Muslim Americans praise terrorism. Atheists are rotten because without god in our life we have no way of knowing that it's wrong to murder and pillage. Jewish people are in second place, but that one flaw will always separate them. And a moral action isn't moral because a Methodist church is where a person was encouraged to take it. By mo...

A judge informing Michael Vick that slaughtering dogs is a reprehensible crime didn't cause tears of regret to flow down the quarterback's cheeks. For whatever reason, Mr. Vick considers murdering cuddly pooches completely harmless. Through our judicial system, we can hopefully convince him to stay all future canine executions, but we cannot force the football superstar, or anybody else, to feel bad about an act he deems innocent. If sprinkling pepper was considered a horrific sin, and you hate pepper, y...

The Ground Zero Shrine to Atheism. There has been much talk about the building of a mosque near Ground Zero. Those against the mosque say, while legal, the erection of a Muslim place of worship so close to the place where the World Trade Center once stood is highly inappropriate. Those in favor of the mosque say it will show New York and the rest of the world that the overwhelming majority of Muslims are peaceful. But you know who are really. Despite backing up our non-violent rhetoric with non-violent a...

Are Christians Disloyal for Refusing to Declare Jihad? Our politically correct society makes it imperative we preface any discussion of jihad by claiming that only a few radical Muslims have perverted the teachings of Islam. Islam is "the religion of peace," the civilized must insist. However, upon closer look at the Book of Leviticus, it appears that anyone who purports to believe in the Old Testament and is not actively punishing human beings for earthly sins may be perverting their own religion. Inste...

I Know Nothing. NOTHING! I have a few questions for you religious folks. Believing in your deity is the most important thing in the world, right? A belief in the correct god will gain you entrance into the kingdom of heaven, right? At the same time, god will take care of those who never had the opportunity to know him, right? Why not lock them in a religion-proof room? I say keep your children ignorant. You, on the other hand, believe their decision is the difference between perfection and horror. Episod...

Doing More Harm than Good. Throughout history, after weighing the good against the bad, can anyone claim organized religion has had a positive impact on our world? To this day, the murders of individuals by brutal theocracies still occur. These killings are labeled punishment for acts a person completely ignorant of religion wouldn't possibly consider a crime. Did you get a whiff of our new leather bound hymnals? The harm done by organized religion isn't restricted to brutality. Even when presented w...

Get a Load of That Religion! Admit it Christians; when you hear a Muslim extremist say he can't wait to sacrifice his own life in order to be rewarded with 72 virgins, you wonder how he could be so foolish as to believe such a pile of bologna. Then you read your children stories about water being miraculously turned into wine, the seas parting, and an angry/verbally gifted fruit-pushing snake forever altering mankind. As you close the book, you instruct the kiddos to believe without question. Many of the...
