"It may be ignorance. There are people who have lived very sheltered lives, and believe if you live in their area, you believe like they do. If you would try to discuss it with the cashier, i think there might be a long silence on her part. Clueless.…"

Have a Blessed day Walgreen says.....
What does the word blessed mean? I ask because i recently popped into a Walgreens and the cashier ended the transaction with have a blessed day! Maybe I was in a bad mood or just finally fed up with christianity being crammed down my throat but I called the manager and politely said not everyone appreciates the cashiers enthusiasm. Ultimately he attempted to tell me blessed doesn't have christian connections at all. It just means be prosperous and well. Are you kidding me? It means may I …See More

"You don't need to be Catholic to describe them.Are you a neurologist? re: "Neurologists wouldn't".Are you a fundamentalist christian?"
Long Journey from repressed ignorant southern boy raised Jehovah's Witness southern baptist and pentecostal all in the same household to a Proud Atheist. At 47 I feel driven to fight for civil liberties that are constantly under attack by religion and to hopefully make a difference. Sickened by the daily deluge of symbols and references to a god and I am ASTOUNDED so many people are unable to break free from their social conditioning which began as infants.

I recently joined this discussion group and am thrilled to have found many like minded individuals. I was raised jehovahs witness southern baptist and pentecostal all in the same household so I do know something about the other side. As a small child I never "got it".

Dr. Terence Meaden said… - Hi Dwayne, and welcome to this friendly meeting place with freethinkers like you who recognise that religion is a grand deception aimed at controlling vulnerable superstitious people, including defenceless children; and you know
how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and even longer.
