Antidote to Fundamentalist Nut-Cases is a Revival of the Freethought Movement

I think what we need is a Freethought movement similar to what the US had around the turn of the 20th century. Robert Ingersoll was touring the country, lecturing on secularism and exposing the claims of revealed religion to be false. Unless something breaks the stranglehold of religious fundamentalism in the US - and in the world - I think we are going to continue the slide into Theocracy and destruction.

2. Maybe we need a National Association for the Advancement of Atheism?

Or a National Association for the Advancement of Islam? Or both?

Doesn't sound very hopeful.

8. "Maybe we need a National Association for the Advancement of Atheism?"

We already have one--it's called "Catholic School". Most effective Atheist conversion/recruitment program there is!

[NAO]

10. I love it!! The NAAAA

[Zenlitened]

3. Also known as "Fetus-Fondlers."

:silly:

[whistle]

4. Now that is about as fascistic a move to distort and confuse....

....the identity of a long standing group, the NAACP that has stood for the advancement of Americans of color that I have ever seen. Right out of Josef Goebbels propaganda handbook.

[MindPilot]

7. the fundies will steal anything; like the ACLJ

American Center for Law & Justice which actually has absolutely nothing to do with law or justice. Or Americans for that matter.

5. The NAACP

should be pissed.

6. Preborn?

Sci-Fi nerd moment here...

Isn't "Preborn" the term used in the Dune series for the children of the Bene Gesserit breeding program?

I am also for stopping that...:shakes fist in the air:...damn Bene Gesserit.

Are they going to advocate for Harry Potter next?

[JohnnyBoots]

11. Never, they spent centuries running Witchcraft and indigineous

religion under ground. That is where they intend to keep it.

[EC]

9. What are preborn?

Is this the gleam in our parents eyes, that I heard about? Isn't that what sunglasses are for?
