I was a Liberty University-trained evangelical pastor. I was sure that I was right and that every other person not of my faith was going to burn in hell forever. I was taught that we as Christians should take this nation back, only to find out later that we never had it to begin with. After five years of teaching this homophobic, divisive message that has hurt so many millions of people in our world, I went through a divorce.
Well, I did see America, and the country I saw was very different from the one I was taught about by Jerry Falwell and my mentors at Florida Bible College. I began to notice a change in me as well. I want you to know that the fundamentalist political movement is the beginning of a cultural revolution that will take our nation to a very dark place. The good news is that we are witnessing the beginning of a new era in human existence. Skepticon IV. The Scripture Project. AronRa's Channel. Beyond Belief 2006 (Session 1) 4/11.

I want to tell you a story of a recent debate I had. The debate was with a local fundamentalist Christian pastor. Before the debate, I learned a thing or two about the approach this pastor usually takes. I learned that he never really intended to have a real debate with me and was going to rely heavily on an appeal to ignorance and faith. He intended to ridicule me while I gave serious concise arguments by simply parrying them with faith. So, in light of this new evidence I presented the following introduction to the debate. (Opening statement) Rich: “I have FAITH that Christianity is completely and unequivocally false!!”
*An odd rustling of chairs and whispers permeates through the church. Pastor:” WHERE ARE YOU GOING!” (Still with my back towards the angry pastor) Rich: “The debate is over; I have just proved your religion false”. Pastor: “Simply stating that you have faith my religion is false proves absolutely nothing!” Other variants: Sense of I and out of body experiences. Robert Green Ingersoll.

The American Ethical Union. American Atheists | Separation Of Church And State Gets High School Senior Bullied In Louisiana. Bastrop School Knowingly Broke Laws and Promises About Prayer | Rock Beyond Belief.
Yesterday, we brought you Damon Fowler’s struggle to stop the school’s prayer at his graduation. He threatened to go to the ACLU, so they actually backed down. Then staff members at this school started saying extremely upsetting things about him in the town’s newspapers. They were mad that a person dared to call them out on decades old constitutionally settled law. Several of us passed along his request for people to write to the school, and I added a link to the newspaper in Bastrop. You guys did an outstanding job, and it looked like the story was turning around. They promised not to have the prayer, and positive stories rolled out in the news.
The woman giving the invocation starts off claiming that there would be no prayer, and a moment of silence would be conducted instead. If you hate the Constitution and you know it clap your hands. Perhaps not so surprisingly, they erupted into rapturous praise. Damon – thank you for being brave enough to try to stop it.
Atheist Underworld. Student Takes Stand For Church and State Separation | Atheist Underworld. Damon Fowler is an atheist who decided to take a stand against the unconstitutional (and illegal in Louisiana) prayers offered at graduation ceremonies by Bastrop High School. According to Fowler, he wanted to stand up to the Christian prayers not only for himself, but for everyone who didn’t have the courage to speak out. He didn’t want the majority Christian viewpoint forced on one more person. On Tuesday Fowler sent this email to the school superintendent: Mr.
Tom Thrower, It has come to my attention that during the graduation ceremony, there may be a prayer (as was the case at a previous graduation I attended). Louisiana law states what is acceptable is a “brief time of silent meditation or prayer”. I thank you for complying. Respectfully, Damon Fowler After receiving the email from Fowler, the school decided to back down.
For the first time ever, prayer will not be part of graduation ceremonies Friday night at Bastrop High School. Damon Fowler is an Atheist Hero. - RichardDawkins.net.

An update on Damon Fowler's struggles getting prayer removed from his graduation. Tonight was his school's "Class Night," which is apparently a tradition in the south. From what I can get from Googling, it's partially a rehearsal for graduation, in addition to being a night where they announce senior awards. Here's the new "moment of silent" went in the graduation rehearsal: This makes my blood fucking boil. This is exactly why the separation of church and state is so important. Bastrop High School, prepare to get the living fuck sued out of you. Despicable.

Paul Stamets on 6 ways mushrooms can save the world. Evolution. Moron of the week is Marie Exley. US Army veteran Marie Exley is on a mission – to tell the world that the countdown to Jesus’ return has begun, and that we have fewer than 137 days left before the mythical Son of God makes an apocalyptic reappearance. Marie Exley And Exley warns us not to use the time left to party. The numpty, a veteran of two deployments in Iraq, said: A lot of people might think, ‘The end’s coming, let’s go party’. But we’re commanded by God to warn people. I wish I could just be like everybody else, but it’s so much better to know that when the end comes, you’ll be safe. Exley, according to this report, is part of a lunatic movement of Christians loosely organised by radio broadcasts, websites, and independent churches who have convinced themselves that the end of the world will begin on May 21, 2011.

Living things (even ancient organisms like bacteria) are enormously complex. However, all this complexity did not leap fully-formed from the primordial soup. Instead life almost certainly originated in a series of small steps, each building upon the complexity that evolved previously: Simple organic molecules were formed. Simple organic molecules, similar to the nucleotide shown below, are the building blocks of life and must have been involved in its origin. Experiments suggest that organic molecules could have been synthesized in the atmosphere of early Earth and rained down into the oceans. Multicellularity evolved. Evolution.
