• Skip the Wash Cycle — These Clothes Are Cleaned by Sunlight!

  January 22, 2012 at 3:31pm

  In reply to ObserverOnTheHill.

  A better educated human race would have to be one with an education system and rational, thinking people, all of which we have here and now, if we didn’t have the misinformation and the greed-mongers. The world‘s scientists are the actual source of info behind Al Gore’s message.
  A new and improved human race would likely though have listened years ago and not gotten artificially stuck for decades on polluting technology that only serves to make one segment of the society rich at the expense of all others and a possible bright future.
  This agnostic thinks we owe it to this God to try to fix ourselves in the here and now and stop being lazy excuse-makers. Those who oppose efforts to move toward clean tech and actually use some human muscle too are actually lazier and more full of excuses than those on welfare they excoriate.

• ‘Reduce Costs’ and ‘Protect the Environment’: Southwest Airlines Cuts Legroom, Installs Thinner Cushions

  Wait a minute. I thought free enterprise and companies maximizing their profit margin was capitalism and the American way??? Over there on the other page people are falling over themselves to defend a florist’s business practices in not delivering to an atheist girl, saying business has the right to practice as they wish and refuse business to anyone they please. Now you guys are here decrying a business for not catering to you because you’re larger than their seat space??

  You still have a choice- there’s Amtrak, quite comfy, and would be convenient if we hadn’t sacrificed our passenger rail system early on at the behest of some other totally American corporations and scions.
  You can also learn to fly and buy your own damned plane. GA needs all the support it can get!

• Atheists to File Civil Rights Complaint After Florists Refuse to Deliver to Teen Behind Prayer Mural Ban

  Oh grow up, you oaf.
  This is not “your neighbor’s pool” nor is she *******
  This is her high school, a public, not religious, high school, and she has support from other students there, at least those who aren’t petrified of being beaten up, which is bullying.
  Are you one as well?

  How is this young lady standing in the way of you worshiping anything?? How? List me the ways?
  You’re worship is awfully puny if you require a plaque up on a wall in a high school in CT, as well as everyone agreeing with your belief. But that is it, isn’t it?
  Agent of the devil? The “devil” is a singularly Christian invention so you have to be a Christian to believe in the devil in the first place.
  But please tell us all how this girl, her lawsuit, our support of the suit and the judge‘s decision in any way affect anyone’s right to worship as they please?? Not only you and your fellow Christians, but also the people of other faiths you probably don’t even think of in your knicker-twisty argument. If CT experienced an earthquake and this plaque were destroyed, would Christianity as we know it cease to exist?? Because a plaque does not exist next to it saying, Allah Akbar, Barukh ata Adonai Eloheinu melekh ha‑olam, or a good ol’ * सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः। सर्वे सन्तु निरामयाः।

  सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु। मा कश्चित् दुःख भाग्भवेत्॥ do these believers experience a complete inability to worship

  as they see fit and fall apart???

  Why are you so threatened by the idea that America is a land of freedom of religion and a sign instructing your children to pray to my deity would no doubt be threat

  I believe in freedom too guys, and yes, the government has no right to tell us who to cater too, who to allow in, who to provide service to. I run a business and I don’t like people who wear crosses so I refuse them service, chase the out if I have to. Same with people with visible tattoos, prosthetics, wigs, black horn-rimmed glasses, flowered blouses or shirts, lapel pins of any type, wide ties, those silly designer purses, oh, and blondes!!
  Can’t trust any of them!! They are un-American.
  I am always looking for other types to discriminate against to add to my collection!

  Do you guys honesty think that it is the girl who is 1) demanding flowers, 2) threatening to file suit, 3) demanding ID, and 4) has the “queenie atittitude (whatever that is – your wife?)

  She is under police protection because of all the “Christian love” – aka death threats, she’s receiving from you charlatans. I doubt she even wants the flowers and probably would rather her suit not get wrapped up in a suit against florists!! She‘s also the type who’d rather see the money spent go to a good charity I”m sure (i’ve read her posts).

  I‘m flabbergasted that your logic can’t extend this far and see the story clearly but instead your hate has to run right over the facts and blur everything!
  As far as sending flowers to churches, go right ahead. You won’t have any atheists lined up to beat up the delivery man as he approaches. They can think straight.

  In reply to Cherynn.

  Cherynn has a great point there. After shoving your foot down others throats for millenia, suddenly you find the kitchen too hot?

  And to those lovely loving Christians who are spewing filth and hate, it’s not the young lady who is asking these businesses to deliver to her, it is the customers who wish to send the flowers to her. The only way I agree with you is that the florist has the right to protect his delivery person from being beaten, taken out, jumped, wasted, etc. – all of the things voiced as desires of you guys to do to this girl – by Christians no less!!!! One could asphyxiate on the irony here!
  Sadly one can easily view the parallels in this situation to those poor black schoolchildren walking up to the doors of the school in the south some 50 yrs ago. And was it not religious white southerners also doing the mocking and threatening, not atheists?

• Santorum: Equality ‘Doesn’t Come From Islam‘ But From ’God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob’

  January 22, 2012 at 1:25pm

  In reply to Mr.Fitnah.

  If the Gospels truly promoted equality then why did slavery persist until recently? Why were women still treated as chattel for centuries? Why did nations, this one in particular, persist for years and years in not allowing non-white men and women of all colours to vote, own property, or become educated?
  I do not think we can thank religious thought for our freedoms but rather the maturing humanist philosophical thoughts of an increasing population of learned people who rationally thought beyond conventional paradigms and gradually gained acceptance, dragging the rest of civilization into the Enlightenment. This was repeated again at the turn of the 19th century and during the Civil Rights era, often sadly with the tacit opposition of the greater Christian church crowd and then a divided faith. Things looked rosy for continued evolution until recently.

  In reply to Kitsune.

  Well so far, there have been only members of one religion that feel the need to interrupt my day and appear at my door. They lack scimtars but their printed words basically threaten the same thing by indirect hand.

  Has anyone found adherents of any other religion coming to your door, accosting you on the street, bellowing at you on streetcorners? There is much wisdom to be found in practicing by quiet example that speaks volumes.
