  Excuse me, what does God need with a starship?

  What does Jehovah need with gravediggers though? Why wouldn't he just make them disappear, or bury them himself? Why would he traumatize the faithful ones by forcing them to bury those he murdered?

  What I am condemning is someone whom becomes aware that their child or a child has been abused and does not go to the authorities first

  Ok, that's right, adults of sound body and mind need to take responsibility for their own actions.

  However, that is really not the main issue here. The one and only person responsible for the crime of child rape is the rapist.

  Leaders of a religion whose evangelical and social practices supply adults with unfettered access to a pool of potential victims must take better precautions than dubs do. It's wrong to accept a leadership role in any group and then cherry pick which things you're going to lead and ignore the rest. That makes you a cowardly, negligent shithead.

  Leaders of said religion should not punish victims for being victims. (I have seen that punishment happen to someone.)

  They should not interview victims about details of the assault. Besides the fact that it is none of their business, it humiliates and traumatizes the victim.

  Leaders of that religion should not gossip about the victim to their wives, who spread it around the hall and the victim is further humiliated and ostracized, just for being a victim.

  Leaders of said religion, who punish people for swimming at the YMCA or practicing yoga, should not be so lenient with pedophiles. That creates a social acceptability for rape.

  etc.

  Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?

  i'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?

  Pretty disturbing. You can be executed for being an atheist in some countries.

  In the US, Land of the Free, 8 states still ban atheists from holding public office, even though that's against the Constitution.

  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.
