 Being as I live about 20 minutes from the Xcel Center I can’t help but go to the Republican Convention next week. I’ve mentioned in the past that I hope to get some good audio to use for the show (I’ll definitely have pictures if nothing else) and I plan to stick to that.
I’ve been poking around the web and making phone calls to find out who’s going to be where and at what time. It seems 11am Monday, on the steps of the capital, is the place to be. A number of groups have coordinated to meet, then march to the Excel and have a party later in the evening. I question the usefulness of protest in this day and age, especially at an event like this, so I’ll be there hanging out but not actively protesting beyond being another body in the [...]

 Just a quick note to let you know we’re joining the Atheist Blogroll, so direct your attention to the shiny and new link on the right sidebar.  I might not have the right code installed yet, but hey, I’m not that much of a geek.
My company arrived safe and sound, so I don’t have much free time. Don’t forget, we’re looking for YOU to post to HDC! Whether you want to post something just once, occasionally, or you’d like to do something more regularly, let us [...]

 What on earth is Neece on about with that title? Well, I have to ask you a question and I need to let you know that company is coming into town for a week or 10 days or some such nonsense.
Ok, first, I want an avatar! I have no idea how to get one. Can someone please tell me the mystical woo secret of having one when I comment on my own goofy blog? LOLz… ok.. so I’m not the sharpest stick in the tiger trap. 
Anyway, my husband’s family is descending en masse tomorrow (actually tonight now that it’s after 2 am) sometime in the evening. So, his two sisters are staying here for over a week and I won’t get much time to be in front of my beloved computer.
Hopefully I’ll at least gather together some good bible thumping [...]

I stumbled upon this Craigslist posting for Kansas City. When I realized what I was looking at, my jaw dropped. Why didn’t I think of that!?
The offer is for pet care services for “good” christians. Apparently over half of America’s population has worried over what will happen to their beloved pets when the rapture comes. Jesus hates animals, so of course, they’ll be staying down here with the smart atheists.
So why not offer a pet care service to “good” christians? I wonder if an ad like this would get pulled on eBay? Or my local classifieds paper! I could try that. It’s got bible quotes in it and good wholesome stuff, so I’d have a great target audience.
What do you think? Worth a shot? Here’s the craigslist listing.

I was always under the vague impression that Hitler’s hatred of the Jews was more than culturally motivated, but until recently I wasn’t’ aware that the catholic church supported Hitler and the Nazi party. I was never taught in school (and this was back when education meant something in this country) that there was anything religious involved in WWII.
Then again, I was never taught that Japan bombed Australia at the same time as they bombed Pearl Harbor, so I know I have a lot to make up for in my education.
My husband finds me the neatest stuff. He found me a website that I want to share with you. NoBeliefs.com has a whole page on Nazis and religion.
When you realize that the Nazis mixed government with religion and religious fervor and then look at where we’re heading today in America, it makes [...]

 Fundamentalists news websites, how I love thee, especially WorldNutDaily. WND never ceases to provide amusement in the form of fundie logic and wacky advertisements. Claiming itself as a ‘news source’ this beyond right-wing rag makes Fox news look like the Disney Channel. I used to get pissed at the B.S. they sling but I’ve come to embrace it for what it really is; satirical humor. Some people can take this stuff with a grain of salt and some can’t, so steer clear if you’re easily aggravated by ignorant bible thumping and rhetorical, fallicious logic. If you can stomach it ignore the ‘news’ links and head straight for the commentary pages. With scathing insights from the likes of Anne Coulter, Pat Boone, Hal Lindsey and Chuck Norris (yes, that Chuck Norris…sorry kids, [...]

 Words and how you use them are very important. The pen IS mightier than the sword in many respects. For example, 99.999% of atheists are stamped with the militant label wrongly. People hear that word and then wrongly associate atheists with the idea that most of us are fighting and being aggressive against believers. With that one word, they’ve labeled us as waging a “war” against them.
This is ludicrous and terribly backwards. By labeling us, they have started the “holy war” against atheists. Not us. In my 39 years, I’ve never met a militant atheist. But I have seen and dealt with many militant, close-minded, hateful, fundamentalist religious folks.
So words are very important.
Hess was looking up synonyms for atheist on Dictionary.com for our new project (as you can see, we settled on Heaving Dead Cats) and pointed out something rather [...]
