Someone stole a pizza joint table cloth and put it on their head.

Listen to this video and the childish gang mentality still left in this world. An I have no idea how to plug the video here so if someone wants to fix the link to make it appear here that would help.

And to the dickheads in the video, why is your daddy such a wimp that he needs childish brats like you to threaten us?

You want some apostasy? FUCK YOUR PROPHET AND FUCK ALLAH! What are you going to do dickheads?

Now to Muslims reading this, this is not aimed at  all Muslims , just these to theocratic fascist pigs who value censorship and fascism to protect their childish egos. Do not expect me to value stone age gang mentality where dissent and criticism and free speech are oppressed.

Mindful Eating

When I was a young boy I eat food like there was no tomorrow. I could plow through a Big Mac, large fry, large shake and a apple pie before any one else in my family was finished with their first bite. When I joined the USMC I learned to eat faster because we were conditioned to be in combat situations. When I was done with all my youthful experiences, I settled down to a life of mellow living but forgetting that my eating habits were not made for sedentary life.

My weight doubled over the years and it wasn't until my Buddhist training which brought me to mindfulness of all my thoughts, actions and words. I had to re-learn how to eat, forgetting the impulsive shoveling of food in a hurry to get done. It took many years but eventually I learned to savor my food and to take my time. Eventually I lost all the weight but the battle was a very long and difficult road.

Doctors oaths and personal religion.

Catholic hospitals are protesting "freedom of religion" in regards to refusing to hand out birth control. Now where the fuck is their free speech violated. The law as far as I know says if you ask for public funding then you cannot discriminate if you want that money. Now if these are private hospitals, they can cut ties with the government and discriminate. No one is shutting them down.

BUT regardless, even in a private hospital without public funding, I think any doctor that cant follow their oath should not be a fucking doctor. It isnt about you, the doctor, it is about the patient. I don't want any doctor who cannot separate their personal beliefs from my care. My care comes first as a patient, not your politics or your religion.

Would these idiots like it if an atheist doctor refused to give care to a believer merely because they didn't like the fact that the patient believed.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT your right to believe what you want. This is about if you ask government for money, AND NO ONE IS FORCING YOU TO DO THAT, then when you accept money from the government, you have to obey the same laws anyone else would.

Dont ask for the money if you don't want to, but that is not a violation of your freedom of religion.

I'm trying something gnu — come join in! Gnu Atheism Facebook group, hosted by Wonderist

Anyone who is RRS at heart (like me) would probably fit right in with the Gnu Atheism group I started at Facebook. This new group is just the beginning of a new path of atheist activism I have shifted my focus onto. I have big ideas for the future. But for right now, I'm focusing on this Gnu Atheism group, which serves one basic purpose:

It is a place for gnu atheists—and gnu-friendly folk—to gather on Facebook and share their links, news, comments, media, and strategies for standing up to religious dogma, violence, and intolerance in the world.

This group is for:

Atheist doctor tells believer the truth.

A Jehovah's witness refuses a blood transfusion and atheist doctor tells her it is the only chance she has to save her life.

http://www.kansascity.com/2012/02/05/3411235/a-meeting-of-hearts-if-not-minds.html

Here is my question. If she is so bent on not accepting medical care, how did she end up in the hospital in the first place? Seems a bit half ass to me. So she gets sick, goes to the doctor, then refuses care? If you are going to refuse care, why even go in the first place?

I am an atheist, but I wouldn't give one shit if the doctor who saved my life was a Christian, hindu or Muslim. It seems sick to me that people today will put superstition above proven medical care that is universal.

Maher puts new spin on atheist axiom.

Many of us have used this argument, "Atheism is a religion like bald is a hair color"

Or, "Atheism is a religion like off is a tv channel"

Maher one upped us all with this take on that. And hey @ Beyond and the other uber Libertarians, take notice as to who his sitting next to him in this video.

"I'm not concerned about the poor" THANK YOU MITT

OUT OF CONTEXT,

Bull fucking shit. THAT IS THE TRUTH about the republican party. It is a class war they have started. Marie Antoinette were alive today Ann Cunthead and  and Rush Limpdork would be demanding she run.

It is class genocide through the act of economic starvation. Now, the reality is that even among the republican poor and middle class voters, want the same thing as any human would want. They want a means of survival, but they vote against their own self interest because of these opportunistic leach pundits on the right.

THE BOTTOM LINE OF their argument is simple when taken to it's absurd conclusion, "You deserve death if you cant make ends meet".

Now, the jackasses who sell this, know damned well if they truly believed this, then instead of sticking Jews in ovens, instead of just starving the middle class and poor to death, build ovens for anyone who is in dept or anyone making below a certain amount. After all, we are worthless pieces of shit, even though the middle class and working poor did not drive the economy into the ditch.

He isn't worried about the poor or middle class, Mitt is merely worried about winning an election.

Please I DARE ANYONE on the right to try to defend what Mitt said and then back peddled on.

THANK YOU MITT I think you just handed the election to that Muslim commie.
