When you come to a point in your life where your beliefs take a drastic turn from that of the ones who mean the most in your life. How do you tell them, without causing a major rift coming between you.

For the past couple of months I have been kind of depressed, because I got to a point in my life where I realized I didnt believe in God, and the thought that he doesnt exist to me was very hard to accept.

So how much harder is it for my mother, who is also like my best friend to suddenly act like satan incarnate just walked into her home when I tell her my beliefs. She had noticed that I had been depressed as of late, but also knew that I had been hesitant to tell her why.

Sorry to confuse everybody, but I am not going to be using feedburner anymore, so if you subscribed through feedburner, it will automatically redirect you to this blog for three more weeks. After that, it will disappear from the blogosphere, so make sure you subscribe through this site. The links are at the bottom.
Thanks,

I received an email from Sam Harris today urging everybody to pledge money to help support Ayaan Hirsi Ali's security detail. Due to the threat on her life, she has 24 hour a day guards and the cost is financially prohibitive. This is an important project to support in order to ensure the protection of the world's most prominent opponent of Islamic fundamentalism. If you are unaware of her work, here is a video playlist of many of her public appearances.

Kudos to Sam Harris for setting this up and spreading the word about this inspiring woman. We'll be making our donation soon. The important details are below as reposted from this page of Sam's website:

First of all, to those of you who have been reading this blog regularly, I apologize for repeatedly writing about Dinesh D’Souza. This is occurring for multiple reasons: he’s the only person who’s promoting his biased agenda with actual fervency (which includes frequent articles or blog posts), and I was specifically asked by Ken Bronstein from NYC Atheists to continue deconstructing his propaganda. It’s like being stuck between a rock and a hard-head…oh, I meant hard place. 

I must confess that I haven’t yet watched this televised discussion, although I plan to, because I would like to get this written, at least preliminarily, before suffering the inevitable loss of neurons that will occur when I watch their mutually masturbatory misinformation session. Thankfully, it was only broadcast on The 700 Club, so they were preaching to an audience that has already been tainted by this type of nonsense.

Hey folks,

I need some help finding articles for my massive blogathon (future book and movie) in which I'm responding to as many leading theists as I can in one year through my blog. If anybody sees anything that you think I should respond to, please submit it in this thread.

Types of stories I need:

• Major print media (hopefully with an online link as well)
• Author of article should be a well known theist, or at the minimum a frequent theist writer, preferably leaders of orgs, thinktanks, or pundits.
• Most preferable articles are op-eds posted in papers that are likely to reprint my rebuttal. (the less conservative the publication, the better)
• If you read a story that is printed in the paper and it is not available online, please scan the article and send me the scan via email: Kelly aT __ rationalresponders.com

Other things you can do to help:

• Subscribe to my blog feed.
• Compile a list of email addresses to major newspapers for op-ed submission. I promise to share this list with a bunch of important atheist authors.
• Scoping the online newspaper sites of the most liberal or diverse papers in the world, compiling pertinent email addresses to send our pieces to, and send those addresses to us via email.
• Repost my writings anywhere you want, please just link to my original on this site.
• Use services like Reddit, Digg, and Stumbleupon to promote my blog posts throughout the year.
• Subscribe to Brian Sapient's blog, Rook Hawkin's blog, and our Main Alerts RSS feeds to always be informed.
• Help us advertise RRS or pay for the server that hosts all of the sister sites that currently receive free hosting via Gizmo/RRS

Got this article from Truthdig, it is very telling about the U.S. military today in the ever increasing threat of outright christian takeover.

Atlanta, GA - It's completely obvious that the damage caused by rainstorms in drought-stricken Georgia was caused by their blatant blasphemous beseeching of Yahweh--another one of those false ancient deities--for rain. Witnesses at Governor Sonny Perdue's prayer service reported that he seemed completely unaware that if Yahweh did exist, his bible specifically calls those who pray in public hypocrites. (Mat 6:5-9).
