Although his site is dedicated to Athesim and Rationalism (per the home page) I did not see much rational thought - just a boatload of anger - hence the reason I suspect he is an XCULT member.

In Tallyman's defense

for the record i have emailed tallyman apologising for anything personal i might have done to upset him.

i have no interest in furthering a war with him - and his website is very valuable in its message.. although one of his locked threads stepped on my toes rather heavily i do think the subject is an important one: the residual effects of coming out of a cult.

i think you had a valid point to make, tally - and i hope you make it again (perhaps without trying to make another individual feel bad).

I suggest you read the whole site...it is against ALL religion and NOT just targeted at Xianity (even though they get the brunt of the authors wrath).

well, it's sunday and we've done reading the sunday papers, so thought it might be nice to poll the worldwide community on some important issues.

no, it's not meant to be fluff, i'm serious in inviting opinions from exdubs in many places, so please respond.

this week i've chosen the question especially for the large worldwide da/df community: what is the main reason for you not wanting to return?.

Ozzie,

I was pointing to the American Athesit Logo in my signature.

OKLAHOMA CITY (EAP) - The latest craze in Catholic idolism has taken the form of a Jesus lollipop which has been in high demand over the past few weeks in Oklahoma City.
Most of the stores who carry the sugar coated "savior on a stick" are unable to keep them in stock, due in part to large purchases by local Catholic Churches.
The lollipop consists of a candy Jesus on the cross figure, combined with bits of chocolate mixed in. The flavor of the candy changes as one licks through to the center and individual wounds on the wrists and feet of the stick pinned candy savior.
The wounded areas have a strong cinnamon flavor which is supposed to represent hell by giving the savior-sucking believers a burning sensation on their tongues.
"We think this is a great innovation in idolism," said Father Edward Crouton of The Holy Church of Mary in east Oklahoma City during a recent inverview.
"We're thinking of giving up our normal communion ceremonies, and just passing out the Jesus suckers at the door as people arrive to worship."
The Jesus lollipop has drawn ridicule from the more fundamentalist Christian groups, who claim that the candy Jesus is just another idol, and is making a mockery of God.
"It's complete blasphemy," says William Bonner, of Riverside Baptist Church. "Jesus would probably throw a fit if he saw people sucking on him. The Catholics have gone way too far with this one."
"We don't see it that way," says Crouton. "Eating symbolic bits of Jesus's flesh and drinking his symbolic blood aren't any worse than sucking on a candy figure of him."
"If people can't suck on Jesus, then may the Lord have mercy on their souls," says Crouton.
