Marily, Marily, your life is but a dream....
Yeah, I smoke, what's it to ya?? I read in another post of yours, you only wear full length dresses, no make up and you don't do your hair...Well woman, that's "yggh!" to me!! If I passed you on the street, I would probably notice your dreary disposition but I would not second glance or judge you. YOU on the other hand would probably show extreme disgust in my appearance and throw your nose up in the air! For you, Miss Marily, are better than me and the rest for you are a follower of christ and will someday reign in his kingdom!! Well, sweety, good for you. I'm just fine knowing that someday I will die, be buried and my body will eventually decompose into worm bait.

You want to tell people just what's on your mind but when others dont respond to your liking...

No, you can oppose me on ANY subject OTHER than religion! I think it's just a big humongous fairy tale and those who believe in everything they read still have the minds of a 5 year old and haven't grown up and faced reality yet...Just my opinion, don't go crying over it.

Now Marily, that's not very nice. Are you saying that just because I don't believe in your hogwash that I should not speak at all? Who are you to try and stop me? One of gods disciples?? Does that make you more powerful than ME? I think not dear Marily!
And what if this place actually had an Atheist/Humanist board...Would you drive yourself insane trying to make people see your light?? That would be fun to watch
Did you know that Einstein was Atheist?

"The beauty of religious mania is that it has the power to explain everything. Once God (or Satan) is accepted as the first cause of everything which happens in the mortal world, nothing is left to chance...logic can be happily tossed out the window."

"One would like to believe that people who think of themselves as devout Christians would also behave in a manner that is in according with Christian ethics. But pastorally and existentially, I know that this is not the case, and never has been."

Faith: not wanting to know what is true..........Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
"What I don't like about bible thumpers, or any cult for that matter, is the arrogance exhibited with impunity by them as they perform their socially accepted public displays of schizophrenic indulgence with the goal of influencing weak-minded individuals, mostly young impressionable children, to join in activities that brainwash them into thinking a certain way so as to restrict their ability to freely reason, to police their own thoughts and become willing slaves, to not take responsibility for their own actions, and to be unquestioningly subservient to the will of a silent invisible entity whose thoughts and wishes are supposedly passed down through the overly exaggerated, un-provable, inconsistent, babblings of an old book that can only be deciphered correctly by someone who claims to be in direct contact with this entity, and who is undoubtedly either the most schizophrenic, or the most deviant member of the group. I see religion, all religion, as evil, and its minions as zombies."......... Steve Pinkston
"We must question the story logic of having an all-knowing, all-powerful God, who creates faulty humans, and then blames them for his own mistakes."

"It is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring."
..........Carl Sagan
"I would love to believe that when I die I will live again, that some thinking, feeling, remembering part of me will continue. But as much as I want to believe that, and despite the ancient and worldwide cultural traditions that assert an afterlife, I know of nothing to suggest that it is more than wishful thinking."
..........Carl Sagan
"The world is so exquisite, with so much love and moral depth, that there is no reason to deceive ourselves with pretty stories for which there's little good evidence. Far better, it seems to me, in our vulnerability, is to look Death in the eye and to be grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides."
..........Carl Sagan
"This above all: to thine own self be true."

Would you consider any of these pure common sense? Maybe with the exception of 4 and the end of 11....
1. Do not give opinion or advice unless you are asked.
2. Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
3. When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
4. If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
5. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
6. Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
7. Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
8. Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
9. Do not harm little children.
10. Do not kill non-human animals unless attacked or for your food.
11. When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
After I get a response from these, I'll let you in on the place where I found them
