From our good friend Dr. Valerie Tarico:
Greetings –
I’ve been invited to blog on the Living section of the Huffington Post! My first post was put up this evening. The more people click on the link the longer it will stay up, the more comments it will get, and the more likely to move to the front page for a little while. This will help me to build a readership. Could you do me the favor of clicking on the link? (No need to read if it’s not of interest.)
When Leaving Jesus Means Losing Your Family
When my Gen Y friend Michael confessed publicly that he couldn’t believe any longer, it cost him a full ride scholarship and all of his friends but three. But that wasn’t the worst of it…
This is an old site but several people mentioned it last night so I thought I would post it:
Top 100 Fundamentalist Quotes on the Internet
My favorites include:
“I am a bit troubled. I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don’t think he’s ready to date yet. What’s worse is that he’s sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!”
“several million years for a monkey to turn into a man. oh wait thats right. monkeys dont live several million years. ”

ATHIEST KID: Mom, I’m going to go fuck a hooker.
ATHIEST MOM: Okay, son.
ATHIEST KID: Afterwards, I’m going to go smoke pot with my friends, since it’s “not addictive.”
ATHIEST MOM: Okay, come home soon!
ATHIEST DAD: Hey!
ATHIEST MOM: Hi, honey! I’m pregnant again. I guess I’ll just get another abortion, since “fetuses don’t count as human life.”
ATHIEST DAD: Okay, get as many abortions as you want!
ATHIEST MOM: Oh, and don’t go in the bedroom.
ATHIEST DAD: Why not?
ATHIEST MOM: There are two gay men fucking eachother in there.
ATHIEST DAD: Why are they here?
ATHIEST MOM: I wanted to watch them do it for awhile. They just aren’t finished yet.
ATHIEST DAD: Okay, that’s fine with me!”

——–
Many of the religious persuasion are quite confident that their particular holy book is completely infallible - an inerrant command directly from on high. However, any even cursory study of early Christianity reveals the Bible to be inspired fiction at best. I am sure that this lecture will be quite interesting from a scholarly standpoint.
If you would like to familiarize yourself with some of the material beforehand, I would highly recommend the Early Christian Writings website.
Hope you all have a fantastic thanksgiving!
