So-Called “Traditional Marriage” Not Accurate
Contrary to myth, Christianity's concept of marriage has not been set in stone since the days of Christ, but has constantly evolved as a concept and ritual... Records of Christian same sex unions have been discovered in such diverse archives as those in the Vatican, in St. Petersburg, in Paris, in Istanbul and in the Sinai, covering a thousand-years from the 8th to the 18th century....For the Church to ignore the evidence in its own archives would be cowardly and deceptive. The evidence convincingly shows that what the modern church claims has always been its unchanging attitude towards homosexuality is, in fact, nothing of the sort.
A Kiev art museum contains a curious icon from St. Catherine's Monastery on Mt. Sinai in Israel. It shows two robed Christian saints. Between them is a traditional Roman ‘pronubus’ (a best man), overseeing a wedding. The pronubus is Christ. The married couple are both men.
Is the icon suggesting that a gay "wedding" is being sanctified by Christ himself? The idea seems shocking. But the full answer comes from other early Christian sources about the two men featured in the icon, St. Sergius and St. Bacchus,2 two Roman soldiers who were Christian martyrs.
Whomever is spreading these lies about "1 man, 1 woman defines marriage for the past 2,000 years" is clearly coming from the "business" of selling religion on their own politically motivated terms. They should be taxed as businesses. Period. Amen.
Hell Was Invented By the Church To Control People
"Hell" was a concept invented by the church in order to control people by fear-mongering. Finally, someone is willing to admit the truth.

This Is Not Rocket Science
Anti-abortion activists are currently attempting to pass a law in Mississippi that claims life begins at conception, or assigning "Personhood" to merging of two cells. Please refer to this simple visual aid when debating that topic.
Atheists in Foxholes
Atheists in Foxholes
There's an old saying in support of religion that "there's no atheists in foxholes", meaning that when you are in harm's way, you turn to the bearded man in the sky for strength (or something...) Finally, someone disproved that photographically. Thank you!
Bill O’Reilly and the Atheist
Author and atheist spokesman Richard Dawkins was a guest on Bill O'Reilly's show, a miraculous feat in itself. O'Reilly tries to bait Dawkins into saying that supporters of christian corporations are "idiots", but Dawkins is smart enough to not go down that path.

500 Churches to Challenge IRS Rules
According to guests of Glen Beck's webcast show, 500 right wing pastors will give sermons on October 1 that purposely violate IRS rules regarding 501c3 non-profit corporations discussing politics, endorsing candidates, setting policy based on their own chosen religion. This is the second time they've attempted this illegal protest and got no penalties or investigations.
This is chilling. It's one step closer to Dominionism. Make your own video demanding penalties be served against these tax violations!
From the site PulpitFreedom.com (which re-directs to SpeakUpMovment.org) the sign up page for participating pastors says,
I am committing to preach a sermon that evaluates the candidates running for political office in light of biblical Truth and church doctrine and I am willing to make specific recommendations about those candidates in light of the biblical evaluation.
Vote To Close The Churches
I agree with this statement. Stay out of the churches, stop giving them money, but if you MUST, prepare to have them taxes as any other business.
Amen.
