Knock knock knockin’ on hell’s door*

NS December 7th, 2008

It’s no secret that I’m an atheist. I don’t have a problem with other people believing but I just….don’t. As long as we keep our views in our personal lives and out of legislation, it’s all good. Unfortunately, there are a lot of religious zealots out there trying to force their beliefs onto my body, home, social status, health and ability to choose what’s right for me and my family. It’s infuriating, sad and annoying, to say the very least. There are a number of topics I could discuss in relation to religion, science and seperation of church and state but I wouldn’t be saying anything new. Besides, there are other people out there saying it a whole lot better than I ever could.

Lately, I’ve been seeking out like-minded atheist bloggers and have come across some of the following sites which I think are fantastic. Have a read (or a watch, in some cases).

Science-Based Parenting

The Meming of Life

Rational Moms

The Friendly Atheist

and this smart, articulate young woman’s YouTube channel, where she explores issues of religion and atheism as a former Mormon

GoGreen18

A couple of her clips that I liked:

Do you have any atheism or skeptic-type links to share that you think I’d like?

*As I wrote this post, there was a knock on my door. For the first time in the 14 months we have lived in this house, I found myself being proferred literature on Jesus Christ as my personal saviour and asked if I would like to discuss my salvation. What are the chances?!
