Vintage 1963

 

Fiftieth anniversaries, yes! We have had two very special ones this year. Dr. Who debuted in England, and became a very long running science fiction series, and Madalyn Murry won her landmark case, which she filed in Baltimore, Maryland, to finally rid public schools of Christian prayer, and other overt symptoms of mental illness. The case was actually filed in 1959, but Murry was persistant, and eventually prevailed. She also started the American Athiests.

 

While your blogger is not exactly an atheist, she has a great appreciation for Dr. Who.  Dr. Who not only appeals to the artistic and intellectually inclined among us, but has resisted the sexual innuendo of American advertising, which makes it a wonderful show to share with one's children. Dr. Who also encourages critical thinking and imagination. American Atheists and Dr. Who; two brilliant concepts from 1963.

In Case You Didn't Go To Church This Sunday

Here's what you might have missed if you did not go to church this Sunday! It's an insane Texas Christian pastor, who wants athiests to leave the country, even though they live here, and thinks Witchcraft should be against the law! Is he aware that the founding fathers, particularly Thomas Jefferson, were all against combining Christianity with affairs of state? Is he aware that Christmas is a Pagan holy day? Is he aware that George Washington was the "father of the country" in many ways? Is he aware that he is an undereducated loonytune who does not know the hole in his butt from a hole in the ground? Only the shadow knows.............I wonder if a Pagan or Athiest woman rejected the good Reverend Hagee at some point in his life? This is the kind of guff we usually hear from men with very small body parts.

Hey Hagee......suppose the Native American communities want YOU to leave because THEY were here first? Could you get a visa to preach this nonsense in another county? After all, airplanes and ships leave this country for foreign destinations all the time!

If Church Was Not A Priority This Sunday

Here ya go. Could the mainstream Christian world cope if others behaved as many Christians behave?
