I never did believe in Ghosts. I scoffed at séances, Ouija boards, and all that nonsense. Until at age 36, I bought, and moved into an actual haunted house. Locals had said it was haunted and I'd…Continue

In our planet’s animal kingdom there are quite a few creatures that mate for life. Swans, many types of geese, including the beautiful Canada Geese, some sea mammals, and many more. If one member of a mating pair dies, the other member never mates again. Isn’t that something? And they don’t even have, “The Book.” My contention is simple. “If humans were also meant to mate for life, we would!”

I, like most people, have become a victim of my own catch phrases. Case in point: I've developed a habit of saying, "There is no god..." and following it with, "...and there never was!"
The other day my wife was watching one of her "Ancient Aliens" shows. She was saying how the aliens came down here and... Well, I really don't know exactly what they did but the point being made was that the aliens were responsible for the stories in the Old Testament.…

I wonder about the wisdom of denouncing all forms of militancy in association with atheism.
I by no means condone the illegal and deranged act the spurred this response, but we shouldn’t get so secure that we forget how hated we atheists really are. The Islamic extremists who want to kill Christians and other non-Muslims, would be extra delighted to get ahold of an atheist. When those TV evangelists stir up an audience over the evils that…

HBO has a comedy show, "Last Week Tonight," in which an English comedian generally pokes fun at the USA. He did a show about American prisons that lit up in cyberspace. So many people from so many different countries are outraged. I believe his claim is that we have more prisoners here than everywhere else combined; if it's true, so what?
The United States is a very rich country. People come from all over the world to be criminals in the US! We have…

I've been in and out of your area many times coming and going "out west" (from Indiana). I've hit all the parks and towns on the way. Several times I had bad weather. Nonetheless, I envy you. Neat that you are in to the historical stuff. Again, welcome to A/N.

I'm jealous of where you live. Welcome to the "club"!
Hi Lemual, Welcome to Atheist Nexus, a good place to ask questions and make comments. This is a lively group and some of us are mad as can be at the role religion played in our early lives and decisions. I am a radical anti-theist. Some would prefer I were a bit gentler and I prefer that some would be more radical. I guess the Golden Mean is where we are headed.
