For the new year:
I would like peace in my life. Peace at work from all the drama, stress and bullying.
I would like more free time to meditate, cook, exercise, make friends and make art--and the energy to do it.
I would like to renovate my house. (We're exchanging gifts related to this. Finally. I've been telling mr. rebel8 this is what I want every yr and he always felt like it wasn't a real gift if it was for the house.)
I would like health and happiness for all my loved ones. I would like some of them to visit me.

Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?
by rebel8 ini'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

REBEL8 - maybe I'm wrong, but I thought you lived in NYC
I lived in New York State, not NYC. Bad enough there--lots of Catholic conservatives and your career goes further if you say you're Catholic too. In fact, I attended Mass in the chapel at my work (hosptial) many times, and it was a networking opportunity. I had a boss who did novenas with me, at her request. I am not kidding. It's totally inappropriate, but there you go.
Now I live elsewhere and it's a different flavor of religion but more widespread and extreme. People seem to mind their own business a little more here, but they have more fundie views and it's socially acceptable to consider atheists demonic, evil, etc. I've seen it on resumes.

The ideas and suggestions of cultBgone & rebel8 towards the topicstarter sounds pretty brainwashing too
I tried to understand your POV and failed. My post says to keep stating the fact that mommy has a belief so the child realizes people can have different beliefs without them being right or facts.
The dictionary disagrees with your definition.
brain wash ing
1. a method for systematically changing attitudes or altering beliefs, originated in totalitarian countries, especially through the use of torture, drugs, or psychological-stress techniques. 2. any method of controlled systematic indoctrination, especially one based on repetition or confusion: brainwashing by TV commercials. 3. an instance of subjecting or being subjected to such techniques: efforts to halt the brainwashing of captive audiences.
Factnet's definition also disagrees with your definition (coercive mind control).

How about you? Have you come out of the closet at work, etc.? How did it go?

Funeral for an atheist
by Stealth in99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.
the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.
if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

I've put it in my will that I want a secular ceremony with readings and music. There are tons of nice things that could be done that do not involve the stink of religion. I want none of that on me in death--not that I will be aware of it.

Imagine what these dumbasses could have walked in to had it been a US church with an active shooter/assault plan
Very good point! In the US they may face hate crime charges as well.
