  • I’m pro-choice, and I have a huge problem with Planned Parenthood. For starters, I actually know two people who had abortions there. It’s like an abortion camp. Where they went, they rounded up about 25 girls, put them in a room and made them watch a video. Then each one was escorted to their own room down a hallway. The doctor on duty went from room to room. Using his little abortion vacuum to suck out the fetus and then moving on to the next one. They did it at different times, and we think had different doctors, but both were disturbed at how inhuman, cold, detached and emotionless the entire staff were. One girl said the doctor never said a word to her. He just walked in, picked up tools and just got to work–they were already in gowns and on painkillers or anesthesia at that point. Just listening to them–and, I’m seriously, deeply pro-choice–it was so creepy. I can’t believe anyone would be so emotionless during something like this. The staff there are truly messed up.

  • Ugh. I’m an atheist and pro gay adoption, marriage, benefits, whatever and even I know this is stupid. It’s an op-ed! The whole point is to write down your OPINION. Opinions shouldn’t be punished. I don’t care if the kid wrote that FDR or Reagan was the best president or that apartheid in South Africa was awesome. It’s an opinion. You debate opinions. You don’t punish people for them. Punishing people for their opinions only means that you’re not smart enough to refute them or respectful enough of other people for having different ones.

  • I’m an atheist and that choked me up. I find it moving that people believe in God and want to be better people because of it. Not all of us atheists are so hateful and bigoted. This was a really cool video.

  • Uh, GRANNY, I’m not the norm, but I’ll answer that from an non-bigoted atheist perspective. Who the f— cares? All religions are made up, from the spaghetti monster to Jesus. I don’t mean to offend anyone. I respect religion. But, from my perspective of respectful atheism, I don’t care if someone is Mormon or Baptist or Jewish. I only care about what they say and what they do.

  • So he‘s that much of a lunatic that his friend says women shouldn’t be alone with him so because she was alone with him it was her fault? What the…?

  • Hey, hey, hey! Atheist objecting over here. I have no problem…ZERO problem with prayer in school or even reading the bible at school. I went to public school and in humanities we read the bible. I never felt attacked because of it.

    Some of us respect religion and think it helps people. I think this girl is wrong, and I think the back-patting she’s getting for this is just congratulating a bunch of whining and moaning and bigotry.

    I need to start a group called Atheists for Christians. I’m dead serious. I love Christians. I just don’t happen to believe in God. There are more of us out here, I promise. Not a ton. I won‘t pretend I’m the majority of atheists, but there are some of us out here who respect religion and just don’t believe in God.

  • Lifelong atheist. I played sports at a public high school and before every game we said the Lord’s Prayer. Not once. Not ever. Never. I never, ever felt offended or ostracized or threatened or marginalized or any other word that basically means “victimized.” This is stupid. You don‘t want to say it then don’t say it. The fact that this is something that has to be read by her to even be offensive just makes it that much worse. Someone in class is being mean, put your big girl pants on and grow up. You see a sign that makes you feel bad that you’re not like everyone else? Grow up. That’s the best lesson she could learn from this. Grow up. Not everything is about you and most things shouldn’t *make* you feel any way at all…including things that are expressions of other people’s faith.

  • Should anyone care? Do you hate animists in Africa? Hindus? Shouldn’t it only matter what kind of person you are? Do you think people are capable of being a good person without being Christian? I don’t mean whether you think they are going to hell or heaven but can someone be a good person here and now without being the exact same denomination of Christianity that you are?

  • While I totally understand (and agree with) why you would feel horrified and angry and want to punish someone who sells their two year old daughter to men, sometimes the people doing it already feel bad. Sometimes, these people just need someone to show them a way out but it’s too intimidating when there will be so much judgment. Don’t get me wrong, I don‘t care what’s wrong with you. You sell you two year old then I want you in prison! I’m just saying that sometimes, in lesser situations, what people need isn’t to be told what they did wrong– they already know and are taking harder than you could imagine–sometimes what they need is someone to show them that they don’t have to do these things anymore.

  • I agree! The best people I have ever met, ever, people who would go out of their way to do anything for me or my family and would honorable and honest and genuine, were all Mormons. I don‘t think that’s an accident. My grandparents’ neighbors were Mormon. We didn’t live in the same town, but these sweet, caring people went out of their way every single day to make sure my grandparents were okay, didn’t need anything, didn’t need to be driven anywhere or need yard work. It was amazingly sweet and amazingly simple and amazingly absent from everyday life. Actually we’re still in touch with them even though my grandparents moved. They came to our house last year for a visit, to my grandparents! They traveled to visit my grandparents! Their former neighbors. Who does that?

    Also, I’ve had two Mormon friends in my life. In grade school my best friend was Mormon. Being in grade school it never entered my mind what religion she was, but looking back, she was a generous and kind person from a loving family who would do anything for anyone. My Mormon friend in college was the same way. You needed a ride. It was like it was her duty to give it to you, but a duty she performed with a smile and a, “no problem!” I’m sorry. I just will never understand the bias against Mormons. Some people of any group are bad, but when you know people in that group and you see they are not just kind, but kinder than anyone else, it makes you appreciate them more.
