    Day of Solidarity For Black Non-Believers -
    Sunday, February 26, 2012.
     
    An annual gathering in each city in the United States to promote solidarity amongst blacks in America that choose not to participate or adhere to a lifestyle influenced by religious dogma and irrationality. The gathering will serve to encourage fellowship, a humanistic outlook to assist in eliminating all types of human oppression and exploitation, and preservation of the environment. The gathering will take place each year on the 4th Sunday in February, Black History Month, and will continue until religion is no longer a dominant voice of American consciousness, especially in the black community.

  • Is God in the fixing business?
    Please join us Sunday, December 18, 2011 @ 1PM CST as we feature Freethought MC.  You can find more information about his music and upcoming music release here.
    We also will discuss God answering the inebriated euphoric prayers of sports fans.  Tim Tebow's pastor claims that it's 'God's favor' that determines who wins football games. 
    Is this God so arrogant that he will indulge the drunken prayers of sports fans as opposed to the prayers of starving children and desperate terminally ill people?

  • Series: Dilemmas 101: BattleField of the Mind
    Cognitive dissonance is the uncomfortable feeling one has when they hold two conflicting thoughts at the same time.
     
    Does contradictory belief and disconfirming information about religious beliefs cause theists to utilize methodologies that enable self- justification? Do many theists remain willfully ignorant of truth and facts in an effort to maintain their self-justification? Does the self-justification cause theists to take a firmer stance in their beliefs? How can gay theists justify religious memberships when their church leadership and holy books vehemently speak against it? How can the church defend its stance when you have certain denominations that fully accept behaviors that others condemn?  Are those people not real Christians (logical fallacy)? How can the church speak against pederasty, predatorial behavior, and pedophilia, yet do not utter a word when it comes to light that some within their confines subscribe to this lifestyle?  Where is the outrage?  What is praying about it going to achieve? 
     
    Pray Until Something Happens…still waiting people.  Nothing has happened and that is why some of the same people continue to perpetuate these atrocities while brainwashing, extorting, and shaming the sheeple to be silent, turn the other cheek, and to remember their own fallibilities that the passuh would be more than happy to put on blast from the pulpit if they get out of line. 
     
    The church is like a chameleon due to the fact that it operates on fluidity that changes and adapts to keep the seats occupied and warm.  It changes its colors to satisfy its members in an effort to survive and remain relevant.  Smoke & mirrors…
