We can choose what programs we want to watch on the TV, what movies, what music we love to listen to, what books we wish to read, but before these items are available, they go through the Offices of Censorship and some are banned because of ethics. I have one question though....why has one book, in todayâ€™s modern society, [that contains a warrant for trafficking in humans, for ethnic cleansing, for slavery, for bride-price, and for indiscriminate massacre, promotes violence, is irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, bigotry and homophobia, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children], been allowed to be released into society without scrutiny of censorship and its unethical content? This book is commonly called "The Bible"...apparently, it is sold on the premise to promote love and peace....this one slipped though the cracks BIG time!

Bill Hicks	The first thing the indoctrinated Christian is taught is not to ever question his own faith. No matter how sound an argument is supporting another belief, or debunking existing beliefs, the strength of the argument is proof positive of its evil origins. In the Christian's mind eye, it is Satans foremost duty to make them question their own faith and thus make them more susceptible to the Dark Lord's evil machinations. It's an almost foolproof built-in defense system, for no matter how reasonable, logical, sound, or sure an argument is, if it at all makes one question their belief, it by definition must be evil and untrue. In fact, the only unforgivable sin in Christianity is to question one's own belief, or to hold it up to the light of reason. Conversely, the denial of even the most obvious facts that don't jibe with the belief is proof positive of the steadfastness and purity of one's faith.	7

Anthony W. Allsop (Genesis) (admin)	Let's quit using the term Atheist, it smacks of recognising that Theism exists. Let's adopt the more pleasing term REALIST. I for one am a realist, not a fantasist.	7
Unknown	Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish.	7

NoGods4Me	What theists are really saying: "Get saved" = "Be a mindless sheep" "Get saved" = "Be a slave to an imaginary dictator" "Get saved" = "Believe in a 2,000 year old fairy tale"	7
