Say it loud: 'I'm Atheist and Proud' [View All]

lucky me, i don't have to strain by brain about Terri Schiavo, I'm an atheist! thank god, i don't worry about going to hell over chewing gum in church, I'm an atheist! i don't have to memorize books that are thousands of years old cause I'm an atheist!

i don't worry that the world is coming to an end soon, i don't have to choose sides in the middle east, i don't have to go to church on Sunday or Saturday. i don't have to quote verses or tithe money, i don't have to buy presents on Christmas and easter.

thank the lord my mind is not clouded with contradictory dogma and literal translations of scripture. i don't have to worry about not being good enough for heaven, or about going to eternal damnation.

thank the lord that the democratic party is tolerant enough to allow me around, the other party certainly wouldn't. thank god that i am tolerant of all benevolent religions, even though many of them would have me and my kind rounded up and cleansed.

I'm no longer afraid to say it in mixed company either, although i never mention it unless the subject comes up. thank god i am not holier than thou about it, i say to each his own, live and let live.
be as religious as you want, or as atheist.

i accept you if you are a baptist, or catholic, or wiccan, i accept all as equals. i support freedom of religion, and freedom from it. i am no better or worse than any other American, but an equal.

and i will keep my head while millions lose theirs to hysteria and hypocrisy, i will remain centered, while the herds of hypnotized fall over the cliff.

and i will do everything in my power to keep it that way.

amen.
