I got into a "tiff" with a co-worker a few days ago. I have a picture on my desk that says "Serve no master other than your own ambition." Someone crossed out the "your own ambition" part and wrote " you're God" (I am God? Who knew?) with a black sharpie. It's no secret at my workplace that I do not believe in God, as I have The God Delusion hardcover on my desk and have conversations with my Atheist and Buddhist co-workers on a daily basis. Well it was just a typed sheet of paper that I had created on my spare time so I didn't consider it much of a loss, but the person that changed it was quite serious when she did it. She started emailing me random passages from the Old Testament, which I rebutted with "If you're going to convert me at least quote the New Testament, you're not helping your case." She cornered me on my break to tell me that I'm not "keepin' it real". Apparently Since I'm Black I am obligated to practice the Christian Faith. I guess I falied to read that chapter in the "How to be a Black man in a White man's world" survival guide. I was also told that I'd be going to hell. I ask her why would she think that I would go to hell even though I live a moral life? She got quiet for a second and said that God promises Heaven and eternal happiness to all who believe in him. I look her dead in the eye and ask her if she's even READ the bible? I told her that I've read it and the atrocities within it scare the shit out of me. Any person that has not been brainwashed with religious dogma would see that. If the only reasons you can give me are promises you can't prove are real and an appeal to race and popularity you have just lost a customer. I told her to do me a favor and worry about her own soul, as damning people to hell is not her job. I doubt this is the last I would hear from Jesus Freak, but I though I'd share.

Our father who art not in heaven The fattest fairytale ever fed fixes a folly to foil ones head. Flattering it's host with features to attract, it forges a fiction flavored like fact. It's firm to force that flesh will fade and fibers internal are forever in grade. Made in faith this figure does flower, framed as the most famous, favorite, phantasmal power. Our father who art not in heaven, figure in yet another seven days or more to free us from each and every war scored in your shifty label, your fading film like fraying fable feeding on man's fear of death, a fog, lacking face and breath. Fumbling upon only what is said, this fairytale fantasy foots to wed man with prayer at his bed.

I am a liberal/progressive Anglican. I don%u2019t believe in an interventionist God, a literal virgin birth, etc. But I am Christian. I am not a theist and in that sense I am an atheist. Anyway, I am currently promoting the music album I just finished this month. It is very political and subversive and at times religious - post-industrial rock with an interesting mix of classical instruments, guitars, electronic beats, and a dash of aussie hip-hop. You can download the whole 11 track album for free at our website. It is released under creative commons licences, which means that you are free to use and share the songs with very few limitations. CDs are available for pre-order at cost price. Any donations to support high quality DRM-free cost price music are welcome. As an example here are the lyrics to "DEUS CARITAS EST (God is Love)" God is not a being up in the sky Judging us with his watchful eyes God is not a being up above God is not a supernatural being Interceding in human history God is not a being up above A spiritual depth to reality God is humanity God is Love Myths attempt to describe an insight Metaphor for a way of life Our sense of wrong and right Describing selfless sacrifice Literal words simply don%u2019t suffice So we use words like %u201CChrist%u201D God is found in nature Found in things God is in every single human being, Art, religion: The Ground of all Being Supernatural theism And your superstitions Can lead to fundamentalism. Panentheism, mysticism, Christian humanism: My God is Love. Find out more, listen and download at the website: http://www.politicsapocalypse.com

From here: A federal judge says the University of California can deny course credit to applicants from Christian high schools whose textbooks declare the Bible infallible and reject evolution. Rejecting claims of religious discrimination and stifling of free expression, U.S. District Judge James Otero of Los Angeles said UC's review committees cited legitimate reasons for rejecting the texts - not because they contained religious viewpoints, but because they omitted important topics in science and history and failed to teach critical thinking. Otero's ruling Friday, which focused on specific courses and texts, followed his decision in March that found no anti-religious bias in the university's system of reviewing high school classes. Now that the lawsuit has been dismissed, a group of Christian schools has appealed Otero's rulings to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. "It appears the UC is attempting to secularize private religious schools," attorney Jennifer Monk of Advocates for Faith and Freedom said Tuesday. Her clients include the Association of Christian Schools International, two Southern California high schools and several students. Charles Robinson, the university's vice president for legal affairs, said the ruling "confirms that UC may apply the same admissions standards to all students and to all high schools without regard to their religious affiliations." What the plaintiffs seek, he said, is a "religious exemption from regular admissions standards." The suit, filed in 2005, challenged UC's review of high school courses taken by would-be applicants to the 10-campus system. Most students qualify by taking an approved set of college preparatory classes; students whose courses lack UC approval can remain eligible by scoring well in those subjects on the Scholastic Assessment Test. Christian schools in the suit accused the univer...
