Many people claim that Jesus can do anything. There are many things that Jesus doesn’t do that we humans perform on a regular basis. For example, if we waited for Jesus to heal the sick, we would have never been able to control certain diseases. We’ve learned that immunization controls the spread of smallpox, measles and yellow fever. Besides, if we waited until his return, the whole planet would be ravaged by plagues.
However, there are other things that Jesus doesn’t do:
1. Jesus doesn’t clean your home…even when you’re sick. Even Jesus doesn’t do windows.
2. Jesus doesn’t fix your car when it doesn’t start or when it’s overheated. In fact, the Messiah doesn’t do auto repair of any kind.
3. Jesus doesn’t feed your dog or cat in your absence, nor does he empty litter boxes or scoop up the poop in your yard.
4. Jesus doesn’t take your kids to school, dance classes or soccer practice. He doesn’t drive, nor does he have a vehicle. Perhaps he can telepathically transport them? Nope, he doesn’t do that either!
5. Jesus doesn’t shop at the grocery store for you. Since you are the one eating, it’s your responsibility. However, if Jesus could shop for you, he would only need to buy fish and loaves of bread. It would save you tons of money because he could multiply those items and make them last for an undetermined period.
No need to buy wine, either! If you have water….he’ll gladly turn it into wine and you’ll never use a corkscrew again.
6. Jesus doesn’t intervene in political matters. However, he does have so-called followers that are constantly using his (and his father’s) name to justify their hatred against gays, Muslims, liberals, atheists and anyone else that doesn’t fit into their “Christ-like” agenda.
I was thinking about when I was a kid and how I used to write a holiday wish list. I started writing one this year and I thought I’d share five of my many wishes. Here goes…
1. I’d love to see medical science be able to cure all illnesses. That most likely will not happen, but hey…this is a wish. 
2. The removal of swearing-in on religious texts from any oath of public office or court case. It’s downright childish and superstitious. Isn’t an affirmation good enough? Many politicians have sworn on Bibles, but yet have lied to their constituents over and over.
3. I’d like to see more people funding organizations that support humanism and humanitarian works rather than spend millions of dollars on a religious crusade that prohibits gays from marrying their partner. The Prop 8 issue of 2008 in California is just one example of such a crusade.
4. A fair judicial system for all races, beliefs/nonbeliefs, creeds, genders and sexual preferences. This would include putting caps on lawyers fees. I’m tired of the poor getting the shaft while the rich get lesser or no sentences due to highly paid legal help.
5. This is a personal wish of mine. I would love to be on the guest panel of “Real Time” with Bill Maher or at least meet him. I know this particular wish is a long shot, but I’ve admired him for many years for his schtick and candid views on religion. He’s my type of entertainer.
What does “Yoing Yoing” mean? Is this a new lazy version of speaking in tongues?

FINALLY!!! After a couple years of procrastination, decision-making and hesitation, I received my first tattoo!
I am 48 years old and I’ve never been inked before. This was a great first for me. I decided on the Out Campaign’s “A” symbol.
A video I found on askegg’s youtube channel.
At the beginning, (0:22) woman claims that a dead person was raised along with other fictitious miracles. Notice how loosely the word “miracle” is often used in this video.

My name is Mark and I am an atheist.
I was born and raised in the rural area of Missouri just around 30-40 miles west of St. Louis, back in the 1960s when Martin Luther King Jr. was conducting peace marches all over the South. I remember mumbling the words of the Pledge of Allegiance during class in elementary school, but most of it never meant much to me except the phrase “under God”. I was around eleven years old then. I kept that particular phrase in mind and mulled over it for several years. The rest of the pledge seemed appropriate, but “under God” made no sense to me at all. It just “didn’t sit right” with my views of what the United States was all about. I became a fan of American history at an early age and the U.S. Constitution was of interest to me, so I scoured the law of our nation, but I could not find the word, “God” or “Jesus” or “Bible” mentioned.
During my preteen and teenage years I was required to attend Sunday School, Sunday morning worship, Sunday evening worship and Wednesday night prayer meeting at a local Assemblies of God (Pentecostal) Church. It wasn’t all bad. I had friends there like most kids would, but I never could fully participate in the rituals of prayer, baptism or speaking in tongues. I truly thought there was something wrong with me because of my involuntary lack of understanding and faith. I tried to be like everyone that attended and attempted to be a part of those rituals, but it made no sense to me, making me feel extremely pretentious and illegitimate. A sense of self-betrayal haunted me.
During my childhood, I learned much about the Bible and like many other books I had read, I found “the good, the bad and the ugly” within its cover. “The good” was in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It’s a good moral story, but the same type of moral content can be found in other writings as well. “The bad” was in the way God often punished or murdered his so-called “creations”. How can God do this if he loved us? “The ugly” was the unbelievable happenings of virgin births, Jonah living inside the stomach of a great fish and other outright lies. To me, lying to sway someone is very immoral. “The bad” and “the ugly” outweighed “the good”.
It wasn’t just the Bible that I found to be fictitious, but also the idea of “God”. At around the age of sixteen, I realized that I did not believe in God or any god for that matter. I felt that the existence of the Abrahamic God is no more valid than the gods of Roman, Greek and Norse mythology.
Yes, I suppose sixteen years old may be rather young for someone to assume they do not believe in deities and such, but that is what I knew at the time. I knew I was an atheist as much as I knew I did not believe in Santa Claus. That was thirty-four years ago and I am still an atheist.
The 30-minute worship service, complete with individual doggie beds, canine prayers and a tray of dog treats for the offering, is intended attract new members who are as crazy about God as they are about their four-legged friends.

I ran across this story on MSNBC and just had to share it.
When the Rev. Tom Eggebeen took over as interim pastor at Covenant Presbyterian Church three years ago, he looked around and knew it needed a jump start.
Most of his worshippers, though devoted, were in their 60s, attendance had bottomed out and the once-vibrant church was fading as a community touchstone in its bustling neighborhood.
So Eggebeen came up with a hair-raising idea: He would turn God’s house into a doghouse by offering a 30-minute service complete with individual doggie beds, canine prayers and an offering of dog treats. He hopes it will reinvigorate the church’s connection with the community, provide solace to elderly members and, possibly, attract new worshippers who are as crazy about God as they are about their four-legged friends.
* Does this pastor actually think that most people do not attend church because of their dog?
* I guess this is no more wackier than the pastor of a Kentucky church encouraging his members to bring guns. 
* Maybe someone should inform the pastor that dogs are atheists.
A friend of mine, Candace sent this to me.
Any comments?
George always told it as he saw it. Too bad he isn’t with us any longer.
Trevor Keezer is shown in front of The Home Depot in Okeechobee, Fla. Keezer says he was fired from his job as a cashier at The Home Depot in the rural Florida town because he wore an American flag button that read, ‘One nation under God, indivisible.’

A former cashier for The Home Depot who has been wearing a “One nation under God” button on his work apron for more than a year has been fired, he says because of the religious reference. The company claims that expressing such personal beliefs is simply not allowed.
“I’ve worn it for well over a year and I support my country and God,” Trevor Keezor said Tuesday. “I was just doing what I think every American should do, just love my country.”
The American flag button Keezer wore in the Florida store since March 2008 says “One nation under God, indivisible.”
Earlier this month, he began bringing a Bible to read during his lunch break at the store in the rural town of Okeechobee, about 140 miles north of Miami. That’s when he says The Home Depot management told him he would have to remove the button.
Keezer refused, and he was fired on Oct. 23, he said.
“It feels kind of like a punishment, like I was punished for just loving my country,” Keezer said.

In 1954, in response to the Communist threat of the times, President Eisenhower encouraged Congress to add the words “under God,” creating the 31-word pledge we say today.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
This young man was wearing a button that had a reference from the Pledge of Allegiance, “one nation under God, indivisible“.
* Why is it that people tend to either ignore or not publicize the other parts of the pledge? Why is “under God” the most emphasized phrase?
* Should an employee of a private corporation be able to wear visible religious references/symbols?
* Is the “One nation under God, indivisible” button a religious or political statement?
* Why didn’t The Home Depot prohibit this guy from wearing this button the first day? He had worn this button well over a year. If this is against their policy, then why enforce it over a year later?
