choose to sing along

"And the flames of hell, they seemed so high

When I could barely see over the pew

I was just a boy when they told me that lie

But lord, it felt so true


And that's a hell of a thing to do to a kid

Just to teach him right from wrong

You can burn in hell the rest of your days

Or you can choose to sing along"

-“Sing Along,” from Robert Ellis’s 2014 album, “Lights From the Chemical Plant”

complete absence of any supporting data whatsoever

"I've sworn off agnosticism, which I now call cowardly atheism. I've come to the position that in the complete absence of any supporting data whatsoever for the persistence of the individual in some spiritual form, it is necessary to operate under the provisional conclusion that there is no afterlife and then be ready to amend that if I find out otherwise." James Francis Cameron , interview with the Hollywood Reporter (March 23, 2010) Cameron directed two of the highest grossing films of all time: "Titanic" (1997) and "Avatar" (2009). Cameron has also written and directed several other blockbuster movies, including "The Terminator" (1984), "Aliens" (1986), "The Abyss"(1989), "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" (1991) and "True Lies" (1994).

don't care enough about religion to call themselves atheists

“As you learn more and more about the universe, you find you can understand more and more without any reference to supernatural intervention, so you lose interest in that possibility. Most scientists I know don't care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists. And that, I think, is one of the great things about science — that it has made it possible for people not to be religious”  Steven Weinberg (quoted in Natalie Angier, “Confessions of a Lonely Atheist," The New York Times, Jan. 14, 2001) Promoting Understanding of Religious Suffering

stone your way out - biblical marriage

Many of our religious friends are unaware of the deadly nature of sex. Deuteronomy 22:20–21 [20] But if the thing (woman is not a virgin) is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman, [21] then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst. (ESV) Deuteronomy 22:20–21 Promoting Understanding of Religious Suffering
