American Cancer Society rejects a half million dollars from Atheists
3:02



I think the guy got it right. The American Cancer Society is only partly to blame. If they take the 1/2 million - they will risk losing many times that amount from Christian hate groups who will boycott them. More kids will die if they take the atheist's money. Put the blame where it belongs ... on the Christian hate groups who would sacrifice the lives of cancer-stricken children rather than cooperate with others who don't share their belief in invisible ghosts.

God answers governor Rick Perry ...

"UH .......... NO."

Texas Wildfire Update (August 31, 2011)

According to the Texas Forest Service, the State of Texas is "fighting its worst fire season in the state's history." Since the fire season began in November of 2010, firefighters have responded to 20,155 fires that have burned 3,529,261 acres. This number is certain to rise as these various late-August fires continue to grow, spurred on by the drought-parched fuels and autumn winds.



Perry got tens of thousands to pray to God for water and God answered by setting the state of Texas on fire. I get the distinct impression that God may not love Perry half as much as Perry seems to think he does.



The report is in on Governor Perry's mass prayer rally







If I could be a reporter at a GOP debate, I would give everything I own to be allowed to ask just this one question:

"Congresswoman Bachmann, as a devout Christian, how do you justify challenging for the GOP nomination when Governor Perry has already indicated that God has chosen him to run for President?" (and then I would walk outside, and wait to be stoned to death by crowds of angry Christians).



Congressman McIntyre's toupee is all askew because CBS muffed the pledge.

Congressman McIntyre pandering to Christians

Congressman, here's that part of your job that you fail to understand; a part that even little schoolchildren 'get':



Freedom of speech


The Christians have a bible and live by the 10 Commandments. Rationalists have a bible too ... it's called the Constitution. Our 10 commandments are the Bill of Rights. If the 10 laws upon which our country was founded are to be posted anywhere, then it should be the Bill of Rights.

"AFRAID OF HELL?"



Text under the title:

If you believe in hell, then you already live there.
Follow me out, and face 3 choices:
1) Run back in screaming for forgiveness.
2) Enjoy a freedom you have never known.
3) Follow me back in: but if you do, you should know
that you will not be the same person who followed me out.
