Hi all,
I thought I would introduce myself since I just joined the site. I was born and raised in Reykjavik, Iceland. I received a fairly typical Lutheran upbringing. I was baptized, I was taught some prayers and the family listened to the Christmas mass together. I got confirmed at the age of 13 (which I really regret) but it was mostly because of the gifts!
A few years ago I really started to think about religion and life. I started listening to podcasts, reading blogs, twitter and books. I read God is not Great - How religion poisons everything by Christopher Hitchens, The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Magic of Reality by Richard Dawkins.
Today I am 100% atheist and love to discuss religion with other atheists and theists. A topic I really like to discuss is whether religion has done more good or bad.
Best regards,
Views: 130
welcome to TA.. we will be glad to see ur contributions in here :)
Hi Saemundur, good to have you on ThinkAtheist!
"A topic I really like to discuss is whether religion has done more good or bad."
Easy, religion takes away resources from society that have better uses elsewhere and this has always been the case.
Welcome to Think Atheist. I hope you enjoy your membership here and look forward to hearing from you.
Welcome Saemi, your story is similar to how I switched from Christiantiy to atheism.

... I do have a picture of Uncle Howard Moore with his violins. The picture below shows him and Aunt Joy holding two of his violins. It is too bad that the photo is in black and white, because the sheen of the wood finish and the subtle interplay of colors on many of his violins was really something to behold. I think the one he is holding was one of his blond-colored violins and Aunt Joy is holding the really gorgeous red one that was my favorite. One of these was probably the national grand prize winner.
I also have a copy and transcription of Uncle Howard's obituary, which has a lot more information on his second career as a violin-maker than I remembered (and it is in my genealogy program, so I have no excuse). The article makes it sound as though he only started making violins in 1978, after he retired, but he was making and selling them out of his home long before that.
Article from The Bakersfield Californian (date unknown; some time in November 1994):
"Howard Lee Moore, Violin maker, 85.
Howard Lee Moore, who turned a boyhood hobby of woodworking into a career as a gifted violin maker, has died. He was 85.
Moore, who died Tuesday at a Bakersfield convalescent hospital, made more than 100 violins during his lifetime from wood that, in some cases, had belonged to presidents or came from majestic European cathedrals.
Moore, however, never played the string instrument, and being a violin maker was really Moore's second career.
Moore worked for 40 years as a longshoreman while he and his wife, Joy, raised a family in Wilmington, a Los Angeles County community. A few years after retirement, Moore turned his hobby into a full-time business. In 1978, he opened a shop in the 1200 block of Colbus Street where he repaired broken string instruments and sold violins he made. His wife said Moore repaired many violins for the city school district.
Moore was part of a clan of 11 children and was born in Lancaster, Texas, on Feb. 13, 1909. By the age of 7, he did his first repair work. A peg broke on his father's violin, and Moore made another peg from a buggy spoke, according to his wife.
"He could make a violin in a week, but he couldn't finish it, because he had to varnish it," his widow said. "Each coat of varnish had to have four days to dry before applying the next coat."
A feature story on Moore once appeared on a television show hosted by Roger Mudd, according to Joy Moore, adding her husband made violins from pieces of wood that belonged to famous people.
"A maple piece came from a library table that came from the White House during President James Madison's administration," she recalled. "Then a spruce piece came from a cathedral built in 1459 in Munich, Germany."
"An old violin maker who was losing his sight had it and wanted Howard to buy it," Joy Moore said.
He made violins for his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He has three violins left that could sell for $2,500 each, according to his wife.
"He willed one to his great-grandson who will carry on the Moore name. He wanted to keep it in the family that way."
Violin maker Bob Lupinek of Bakersfield met Moore about 15 years ago at a fiddler's jamboree in north Bakersfield.
Through the years, the men encountered each other at conventions and contests sponsored by the Southern California Violin Makers Association.
"He was one of the top ten in the organization for both California and Arizona," Lupinek said. Many violinists did not have the gift of ear for tune and tone quality that Moore had, according to Lupinek.
Moore developed arthritis and neuropathy two years ago which forced him to stop making violins. His health began to deteriorate after that.
Moore is survived by his wife of 66 years, Joy, of Bakersfield; a daughter, Joan Zuber of Walker Basin; four brothers; two sisters; four grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and one great-great grandchild.
Viewing is from 1 to 5 p.m. today at Lake Isabella Funeral Home, 5106 Lake Isabella Blvd.
The funeral services will be held 1 p.m. Monday from the Kern Valley Bible Church on Golden Spur."

I swanny, Black Friday Frenzy is bearing down on us again.
Just when you thought you and all the other turkeys had to wait until Thanksgiving for the usual thick sheaf of newspaper ads offering sneak-peeks into Black Friday sales to be served, retail mavens this year have pulled some fast appetizers.
Apparently, they've been accidentally-on-purpose "leaking" peeks to bargain-shopping websites like BradsDeals.com.

Its always fun and heartwarming to see Final Fantasy VII getting some love. Whether its a fan movie, a realistic take on the Buster Sword or a piano medley, i always feel some type of way when i see these things. (Yes i love the game that much )
This time one of my favorite producers decides to play some FF7 tunes live! I'm a fan of Flylo's music and its awesome to see him playing the victory fanfare and shinra theme live. I would go nuts if i was there.

The principle
POLIANT and POLISEAL are colourless, transparent glass ceramic layers with a depth of approx. 0.5-2.0 µm (POLIANT) or 2.0-5.0 µm (POLISEAL) with the following characteristics:
- Colourless and transparent
- Anorganic
- Food-safe
- Looks and feels unobtrusive
- Resistant to UV and aging processes
- Resistant to water and dirt
- Temperature-resistant up to 300°C, for brief periods to 500°C
- Adheres firmly to the surface without cracking or flaking
- Resistant to most chemicals (exception: strong acids and caustic solutions)
POLIANT can be applied to all kinds of finishes. It also reliably protects matt, ground, blasted and coloured surfaces.
Cleaning is effected by wiping the surface, using a mild cleaning agent if necessary to remove all traces.
The application
POLIANT and POLISEAL are applied as liquids by spraying, immersing or rolling and are then subsequently fired. The firing temperatures lie in the region of 150°C-250°C, and are determined by the material and the application.
Applications on stainless steel, aluminium and copper alloys are found in many areas such as exterior and interior architecture, lift cabins, kitchen furniture, sanitary fittings, vehicle and boat building, front panels and claddings for machinery and appliances.
POLISEAL applications can be found for example in heat exchangers, interceptors, medical and surgical components, plants and installations for the food and drinks industries, electrotechnology and the pharmaceutical industry.
POLIGRAT offer POLIANT and POLISEAL coating as a service and also supplies equipment and chemicals for application by the customer.

This is pretty much the season for the Knicks. If they lose tonight, it is a forgone conclusion that they'll be going home. If they find a way to win, they still have a chance, albeit small, to beat Miami in this series. The Knicks must put game 1 behind them. As depressing as that game was, it still counts as only one victory for Miami. I won't go as far as to say the Knicks will win tonight, but I think they'll at least show up. I don't know what happened to them in game 1. They seemed to have left their effort and execution back in New York. Tonight is a new night. I expect the Knicks to come out fired up. Again, will they win? I doubt it. Will they give a better effort? I think so.
Here is what to watch for:
- Injury news. Tyson Chandler will play, despite his flu. Iman Shumpert is out 6-8 months with both a torn ACL. Landry Fields will start in Shumpert's absence.
- Fields has to step up tonight. The second year Knick will have the monumental task of guarding Dwayne Wade, at least early in the game. I imagine we'll see a good amount of JR Smith tonight (yikes!), but Fields will see 15-20 minutes. He's a solid defender, but that isn't good enough against a superstar like Wade. Fields has to defend at an elite level tonight. Even if he's beaten off drives or screens, he must give full effort to disrupt Wade's rhythm. Most importantly, Fields must keep up his confidence. Wade is arguably the 3rd best shooting guard of all time. He's going to make baskets. If Wade cooks Fields early, I think it is imperative for Fields to keep his confidence. He can't put his head down and let his effort slide or else Wade may score 50. Fields' performance may have a huge impact on tonights game.
- How will Chandler play? There is only one Michael Jordan. Not everyone can play at a high level with the flu, and Chandler is no different. I applaud his effort and heart and I hope he has a great game tonight. I wouldn't bet on it. He was pretty awful in game 1 and I could see him playing better tonight. However, I don't expect him to play at the level we've been accustomed to seeing. It makes me sad to see him hampered with this sickness (DAMN YOU, TONEY DOUGLAS!) because I think he's the heart and soul of this Knicks team. Without his usual, great impact, the Knicks just look like a different team. I hope Tyson can put it together and make an impact tonight, but I'm very skeptical.
- The Knicks have no margin for error tonight. They can't miss open shots. They can't turn the ball over. They can't have slow defensive rotations. If they do these things, they will lose. Especially turning the ball over. Not only do they not give themselves a chance for points by turning it over, but they give Miami fast break opportunities. Against the Heat, fast breaks are almost automatic points. New York had 24 turnovers in game 1 and as a result, they lost by 33 points. New York cannot make mistakes tonight, or else they will lose. Badly.
- Melo must score and STAT must get involved. The second Knick "superstar" was just 2/7 shooting in game 1. The Knicks couldn't get him the ball and when they did, he wasn't in ideal scoring position. They didn't run much of the offense around Stoudemire, and instead opted to feed Anthony who shot 3/15. The Knicks must get Stoudemire involved, but Anthony has to play well in order to help open up the floor for Stoudemire. If Miami's defense is focused on slowing down Anthony, they're more likely to lose track of Stoudemire. If Anthony doesn't score, then Miami can play straight up and neither player has an advantage. Stoudemire has to get involved and Anthony has to help open the floor. The Knicks will get destroyed again if both players struggle. JR Smith can score, but he shouldn't be New York's primary scorer. They must run the offense through STAT and Melo.
- New York must shoot the ball well. In game one, the Knicks shot just 7/21 from downtown. In order to win, the Knicks must be lethal from beyond the arc. JR Smith, Steve Novak and Mike Bibby must contribute with made shots. Novak played 24 minutes in game 1 and was only able to get 2 shot attempts up. The Knicks have to do a better job of getting Novak open looks. JR Smith shot 3/8 from downtown, not horrible, but he's got to get hot like he did against Boston. Make no mistake about it, New York is shorthanded. Chandler and Baron Davis will be hampered, while Iman Shumpert is obviously out. They need guys to step up and JR has to be one of those guys.

Forget many of the more modern "arcades", full of skill-testers and UFO catchers. Sometimes you just want to play something old, vintage, with wood-panelling and a faded marquee. An arcade game with history.
Sadly, classic arcades are hard to come by these days. So here's how to find one.
This detailed map seeks to include as many truly classic arcades as it can. While the emphasis is on dedicated, vintage arcades, there's also scope to include something more contemporary, or a venue that's not just an arcade, if it at least has a "significant number of classic arcade machines".
The map probably doesn't include everything, nor does it include private arcades, so if you see something's missing, there's contact info here to get something added.
Complementing the map is this website, which attempts to catalogue which games are available at each arcade. The Scandia Family Fun centre in Fairfield, California, for example, has Joust, Asteroids, Afterburner and even the badass Thunder Blade with the sit-in cockpit.
View U.S. Classic Arcades in a larger map
If you want to plan a trip to a truly classic arcade, you can find the interactive map at the link below. If you're in Montana, Minnesota, New Mexico or Mississippi, you might also want to consult guides on very long road trips.

Municipal Market Advisors and Lumesis Release FAQ on Bank Regulatory Guidance Affecting Municipal Po
Municipal Market Advisors and Lumesis Release FAQ on Bank Regulatory Guidance Affecting Municipal Portfolios
CONCORD, Mass. & STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Municipal Market Advisors (MMA), the leading independent municipal research firm since 1995, and Lumesis, a financial services technology company focused on the fixed income municipal marketplace, have put together a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document to help banks better understand the regulatory guidance's impact on municipal bond portfolios.
Download the FAQ: Are Your Municipal Holdings Ready for the OCC and FDIC?
This summer, regulators released rules and guidance related to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that impact how banks select and monitor investment securities —including municipal bonds. "In the wake of the virtual disappearance of municipal-leveraged proprietary accounts, banking institutions became key lenders to states and municipalities in need of capital for infrastructure projects," said Thomas G. Doe, founder and CEO of MMA. "The growth of bank participation in the municipal market has coincided with regulation, which became effective January 1, 2013. Banks are challenged to implement processes that facilitate their ability to communicate municipal portfolio credit risk in a cost effective yet thorough manner."
"MMA and Lumesis each offer value-added aspects of an overall solution to help banks address their new regulatory responsibilities," said Gregg Bienstock, co-founder and CEO at Lumesis. "As banks prepare for their 2013 examination cycles, institutions are looking for cost-effective and comprehensive ways to prepare for discussions regarding their municipal portfolios. MMA and Lumesis recognized that innovative solutions were needed to address not only the banks' needs but also their constrained budgets. We have leveraged our knowledge and technological expertise to help banks in a way that makes economic sense."
MMA's Portfolio Credit Benchmark (PCB) solution addresses the need to review one's municipal portfolio. MMA has developed a highly effective, risk management solution that empowers a bank to articulate its municipal portfolio credit risk to the regulatory examiner. PCB is powered by MMA's real-time dataset of municipal bond default trends and supported by the leading credit team in the municipal industry. MMA's Default Trends publication enables banks to follow troubled credits in the market and therefore be alerted each week should a bank's holding present a meaningful risk. A municipal issue which MMA enters into its database has a much higher likelihood of migrating to a condition of severe impairment.
DIVER's Advisor Municipal Bond Report (Ambr) supports pre-purchase analysis of municipal securities. Ambr is a CUSIP-based report that aggregates critical and timely information about every municipal bond and delivers sector-based demographic and economic data, ratings, default events, and trade history and location-based news links that can be accessed at or prior to a trade and any time thereafter. DIVER's CDM Service delivers material event notifications for all positions within portfolios within minutes of their being filed with the MSRB allowing for the efficient tracking of material events of all bonds in the bank's portfolio throughout the year. DIVER Analytics is a suite of powerful analytical and visualization tools serving Credit Analysts, Portfolio Managers and Risk Managers that generates detailed credit analysis by geography or CUSIP for your holdings. The DIVER suite of products leverages a database of over 225 datasets from more than 40 sources.
About Municipal Market Advisors (MMA)
Municipal Market Advisors (MMA) is an independent research firm that was founded in 1995 and is based in Concord, Massachusetts. MMA's core business is to provide strategic analysis and commentary on historical and quantitative conditions of the U.S. municipal market. In 2012, MMA introduced its newest service, an enterprise risk solution for bank portfolios to meet their regulatory needs pertaining to municipal bonds. MMA also provides in-depth analysis of critical issues confronting the municipal industry. MMA has played a prominent role in the media to inform the general public regarding issues in the industry as well as in Washington DC, interacting as an educational resource and consultant to lawmakers, lobbyists, regulators and think tanks.

In my quest for frugality I found a blog that has become a favorite, www.thefrugalgirl.com. This blogger, Kristen, shares recipes and household tips related to frugality.
When I read her recipe for making yogurt all I could think of was the yogurt my mother made when I was a child. I have memories of the little Braun yogurt maker sitting beside our kitchen sink during my childhood. Friends were always curious as to what it was. I was never a big fan of Mom's yogurt. It had a certain twang to it that was still there no matter what. I don't remember when or why the yogurt maker was no longer on our counter.
Years later I became a big fan of yogurt. I had favorite brands and flavors. Yoplait became a household staple. A few years ago when I began to focus on frugality I also began working to eliminate preservatives from the food we were consuming. I examined everything that I could do to cut back on expenses and preparing food from scratch was a natural solution.
I decided to give her recipe a try. I was in love after the first batch. I love the creaminess and the slight vanilla sweetness of it but most of all I love how simple the process is. It probably won't seem that way when you read over her recipe but it is after you have made a couple of batches. Plus, you have yogurt for the month and you know exactly what is in it.
Kristen wrote a price comparison blog for yogurt back in 2008. A batch of yogurt lasts her family about a week. One batch will last me about 3-4 weeks. I usually eat it for breakfast and in smoothies. My daughter doesn't like any yogurt and my son seldom eats it so it doesn't go as fast in our house.
My favorite ways to eat it are drizzled with honey or with granola and berries. Yumm!
I have included links to her blog for the recipe and the price comparison. Hope you enjoy.

Breaking Into The Big Dance: UMass Boston (18-2) will be making their first ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament Saturday at 11 a.m. when they take on #6 Ithaca College (17-1-2) at 11 a.m. The program is just the fifth in Beacons history to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and the first program to make their debut since 2010.
Scouting Out The Opposition: The Beacons will be playing Ithaca College for the first time in program history, with a date with another new team scheduled for Sunday, if they can win Saturday. In the other first round matchup at Carp Wood Field, Scranton University will take on Bowdoin College at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The winner of each game will move on to play Sunday at 1:30.
Live Coverage: Live stats and audio will be available for all three games this weekend in Ithaca, N.Y. The link for live stats is: http://www.sidearmstats.com/ithaca/wsoc/scoreboard.aspx. While audio will be available at http://www.vicradio.org.
A Season That Never Will Be Forgotten: The NCAA Tournament bid is just one of many historic accomplishments the women's soccer team has racked up in 2012. After winning 14 games in each of the past three seasons, UMass Boston has set program records for wins (18), conference-wins (6) and goals scored (69). UMass Boston also broke into the NSCAA and NCAA regional rankings and D3soccer.com National Rankings for the first time in program history. This week, the Beacons moved back into the Top 25 of the D3Soccer.com Poll at number 25.
Wrapping Up A Perfect Home Slate: After finishing 10-0 at the Clark Athletic Field in the regular season, the Beacons swept through the Little East Conference Tournament this past weekend with wins over Keene State and Western Connecticut State. Saturday, Amy Zombeck's crew beat the Owls for the second time this year, and second time in program history, behind goals from Tayla Andrews (Plymouth, Mass.), Krista Ledin (Bridgewater, Mass.) and Sam Cristoforo (Rockland, Mass.). In Sunday's championship's game, UMass Boston shut down the Colonials and Andrews provided the lone goal in the 61st minute, as the Beacons hoisted the LEC Tournament Title for the first time in program history.
Wracking Up Postseason Awards: The Little East Conference announced their postseason awards Tuesday afternoon and the Beacons came out on top. Ledin became the first player in program history to be named Offensive Player of the Year, while Zombeck earned her third LEC Coach of the Year Award. Andrews, Cristoforo and junior defender Alli Modzelewski (Newington, Conn.) all joined Ledin on the Little East Conference First Team. Sophomore transfer Amanda Pugliese (Pembroke, Mass.) was named to the Second Team in her first year with the Beacons.
Offensive Firepower: The Beacons are having their best offensive season in program history, behind the four-headed monster of Ledin, Andrews, Cristoforo and Pugliese.
Ledin is second amongst all female collegiate soccer players with 63 points and stands third amongst Division III women's soccer players in points per game at 3.32. The sophomore forward has rewritten the UMass Boston and Little East Conference record books with her 26 goals, 11 assists and 63 points, while becoming just the second player in program history to reach the 100-point mark. She sits just two points shy of tying Kristin Mulry '11 for the program mark for career points (115).
Andrews has had a huge junior season, after suffering through a sophomore slump a year ago. The junior forward is amongst the top 20 in Division III in total goals (21-15th), total points (53-11th) and points per game (2.65-20th). She comes into the NCAA Tournament red hot, with points in seven straight games and 17 points over her past four contests.
Cristoforo has produced her biggest offensive campaign yet, with career-highs in goals (eight), assists (10) and points (26). The dominant central midfielder has added five game-winning goals and has given the Beacon a third 20-point scorer in the same season, for the first time in program history.
Pugliese has been the biggest surprise of all for the Beacons. The Southern New Hampshire University (Division II) transfer arrived on campus the week before school started and has started in all but one game this season. After playing in just one game a year ago with the Penmen, she has racked up five goals, seven assists and 17 points as the team's starting attacking midfielder.
Defense Wins Championships: Despite losing one of the best defenders in the New England Region last season in Samantha Place, UMass Boston's backline has been fantastic this season. Senior captains Brittney Spencer (West Brookfield, Mass.) Anna O'Donoghue (Swansea, Mass.) and Meghan O'Connell (Abington, Mass.) have been huge on the outside, while sophomore Brittany Castillo (Yarmouth, Mass.) and Caitlin Coleman (Willimantic, Conn.) have teamed up with Modzelewski to make an imposing center of the defense. The collective group has held opponents to two or fewer goals in 18 of their 20 contests and notched nine shutouts. Even more impressively, the group had their best pair of games all season against Keene State and Western Connecticut en route to the LEC Title.
Spain Knows Best: Redshirt freshman goalkeeper Kristen Spain (Quincy, Mass.) has been phenomenal in net this year for UMass Boston. The Division I transfer from Francis Marion University has already set the single season and career program marks for wins (17) and has added 8.5 shutouts. Overall, Spain holds an .802 save percentage and 1.00 goals-against-average, while making 73 stops. This past weekend, Spain shut out two of the top team's in the LEC in scoring offense, by making 10 saves.
Getting To Know The Opponent: Ithaca College is ranked sixth in the nation this week in the NCAA and D3Soccer.com polls after winning the Empire 8 Conference Tournament in penalty kicks over Nazareth College. The Bombers will be making their 10th straight NCAA Tournament appearance and Division III NCAA Women's Soccer record 23rd overall trip. Ithaca has won two national championships (1990 and 1991) and gone 34-17-5 all-time in the Big Dance.
As a team, Ithaca is best known for their defensive prowess, as they rank third in the nation with a .926 save percentage, fourth in goals-against-average at .291 and fifth in the country with a shutout percentage of .75. Senior goalkeeper Becca Salant has started in 19 of 20 games this year for the Bombers and has gone 17-1-1 while allowing just six goals in just under 1700 minutes.
Senior forward Rachael Palladino is the leading force behind the Bombers offense with a team-leading 13 goals and 28 points. The four-year player has 60 career goals and this season has recorded a team-best six game-winners. Junior Ellyn Grant-Keane is second on the team with 21 points, while doling out an Ithaca nine assists.

Westport firefighters withdraw from charity tournament
The Westport Fire Department hockey team has withdrawn from a first-responder tournament that will benefit Westport-based Save the Children.
The firefighters initially were entered in the tournament planned April 4 to 6 at the Webster Bank Arena. But Save the Children on Friday issued a news release saying the team had pulled out and would be replaced by White Plains, N.Y., firefighters. The global children's relief agency gave no reason for Westport's withdrawal.

When you decided you didn't believe in god, how did your life change? What, or who, did you lose? Did anything really change for you?
Views: 930
I heard Sam Harris on the radio while driving for 2 hours. There was someone articulating what I'd thought and felt for decades, just kept it bottled up. No family ostricizing, because it's only their business if they ask me about it (no-one has). Bought some of his books, some Dawkins and found so many people I respect and or admire (Stephen Fry, Hugh Laurie, that big magician guy) who are athiest, made me realize I'm not alone.
I realized |I was born this way, but some doctrinaire/brainwashing was imposed on me from an early age...starting when I could understand language. It was the socially acceptable thing to do to go to church (what a waste of time and "good" clothes), so I did until my late teens. Did n't have my daughter baptized, we thought we'd let her decide if there was any reason to...hurray, she's living the athiest life quite well, thank you!
Now I really wish tax exempt status for churches would dissapear like pope Benny.
Religion should get the same treatment as everyone else. I'd say favoring them OR taxing them harder would be a violation of the principle of religious neutrality, because of the issues that would raise in deciding what gets the break or punishment. For example, if you decide to exempt religion from some forms of taxation then someone in the government gets to decide what is and is not a legitimate religion Methodist OK, but FSM bogus? Who are they to say? and THAT is definitely an establishment clause violation.
Nothing changed really, by the time i accepted i was an atheist i was surrounded by open minded and skeptic people, even though my mother is religious she loves me more than she does religion, so it doesn't really matter to her.
I felt relieved that I no longer had to wrestle with making sense of my religion. I was at peace and it was totally unexpected! I lost a close relationship with two family members (but it is hard to tell if this has more to do with where they are at than my atheism) and possibly the respect of a third. I am about to come out to my "fundie family," or my dad's side of the family, which will probably be spectacularly histrionic. I'm thinking about a two-fer--'Hey, y'all, guess what, I'm bisexual and I'm an atheist.' I just don't care what they think anymore. They're either good people who care about me and can see past their religious hang-ups, or they are not. No sense in building a relationship based on lies if it will all fall apart once the truth outs.
Other things that have changed are my interests and priorities. I tend to look at things from a more rational point of view. I really value my time now! LOL. I no longer feel shame about enjoying things...I tend to savor the moment and I feel gratitude instead of guilty pleasure. I think being atheist makes things a lot more simple to experience once you toss out your religious baggage.
My life made more sense, less guilt and more time to grow as a person. The only negative is that I can not realy talk about the way I feel or think without people judging me. The one or two that asked me why, would not listen to the why half way through they would tell me how tong I am in what I do not believe.
I became an atheist in junior high (middle school) due to reading and thinking about the probable reality of it all. No one in my family objected, and when I told the minister at a church I used to go to (Episcopal) that I couldn't come anymore because I no longer believed in it, he said, "Oh, come anyway; that makes no difference; we need you in the choir"
On the other hand, many years later when I was out of college, my mother, who'd become alcoholically religious, said to me, "Oh, you'll change you mind when you get older." I didn't want to argue with my mother, but I remember thinking, "But when are the facts going to change?"
I find it interesting that many respondents to this came to atheism at a later age than me. I would have thought that puberty was about when folks would start to think about these things. Then again, I know a lot of guys that willingly went to Vietnam only to later on think, "What the hell was I doing?" It's better to learn late than not at all.
As much as anything, it surprises me that there still are religious people. Religion is so wrong on so many levels that, despite the sweet little Desmond Tutus and Mother Theresas, it appalls me that it's still a force in the world. But then again, it's useful to remember that half the people in the world have an IQ of less than 100.
I dunno Im inclined to agree with him on some level. I was about 13 when it became clear to me that religion was just a handy control mechanism. And I wasn't having some deep moment either it was just something that casually popped into my head. Maybe being an atheist doesn't automatically mean you are smarter..but I bet there is some correlation, even though I know this does not equal causation. Now I just look at it as such a primitive, ignorant thing to hold on to. *shrugs*
I think the age that a person deconverts is most likely to coincide with finding some challenge with religion. For most people who lived in the 1800's, religion wouldn't have been challenging at all. For those who live in, and fit into a religious community, there is no need to question it, no challenge at all.
In our contemporary world, if you gravitate towards a lot of scientific materials (documentaries, periodicals, etc) then religion fast becomes a challenge. You could be drawn towards art or music, however, and encounter far less of a challenge while still being very intelligent.
I grew up in a home where you were never aloud to question, but do as you were told. I saw my mother going from one religion to the next and we had to follow and do as we were told even ended up in Santmat. Religion was switched between bouts of drinking for my mom and her being bipolar searching for some form of crutch. I believed because that was the only thing that made sens as a child , that maybe this Jesus they spoke of would oneday come and change my misserable childhood. I remember the fear when I read that I would pay for the sins of my fathers, that was just horrible as a girl age 13 for the first time I questioned, because Jesus was suposed to have deid for my sins, and my parents, parents must have sined like hell for me to grow up in an abusive home. I still clone to hope until age 29 when my husband was murderd and religios people came to show simpath and said things like "It is Gods will" " he is in a better place" God decides when it is our time" " He deid at the hands of Satan" "God pics his most special flowers" Now that got me thinking. If this God is so loving why would he think that a one year old girl and 5 year old boy needs to grow up without a father. Was it God or Satan, just did not make sense anymore. I decided at age 38 to finish school and started to study psychology, some om my subjects were socio cultural anthropology and philosophy that and The God delusion opend my mind, only then did I start educating myself. So for me it realy did start on education, but my childhood did not leave room for me to start this prosess before an later age, nothing wrong with my IQ I was conditioned not to think for myself, not to question and blindly follow. I will never force my opinion on to my children but will leave them room to grow and find the truth, to read, read ,read and yes question even adults because adults is not always right.
Hmmm...actually I was born an atheist. I didn't believe in any deities at that time. My parents sent me to Sunday School but I think that was just to get me and my brother out of the house on a Sunday morning.
Anyhow the teaching didn't stick, I didn't believe the fantastical stories were any more true than the other fantastical stories I read when I was a child and I don't think I got the idea that they were supposed to be true as they were obviously impossible.
As I got a little older and realised that the adults thought the stories were true (kind of, to suit their own purposes...what's that about?) I thought they were a silly. When I raised the the issue I was asked to leave Sunday School as I was a disruptive influence! And not much has changed since...
I had been moving farther away from religion as time went by. I was raised Catholic, and so much of the doctrine disagreed with what I felt was right as a person. It was a very gradual thing for me, and I guess I didn't even really think of myself as an atheist until one of my friends called me one. Then I was like "Yeah I guess I am" I really started to look at things a lot more critically and here I am. I may have lost a few friends, but noone I was really close to. Most of my Christian friends just agree to disagree with me. We debate from time to time, but nothing too bad. My girlfriend is a Christian, and knew I was atheist when we started seeing each other. We respect each others views, but don't really talk about it...

Magnets have always been able to suspend soda cans in midair, haven't they? That's just basic science, right there.
The Magnetic Suspension Device—despite not having the most original name—can keep any bottle or can (up to 300g) dangling in its cylinder by placing a magnet on its top. And if I owned a bar that was trying just a little too hard, I'd be ordering them in bulk right now. [Chinavasion via 7Gadgets]

Mike Ashley is the richest man in the East Midlands, according to the new edition of the Sunday Times Rich List.
The list - which will reveal the wealth of the 1,000 richest people in Britain - will be published in the Sunday Times newspaper this weekend.
Research from online start-up magazine TechRound found the combined worth of Britain's top 250 wealthiest individuals and families is likely to reach £467 billion this year, before surpassing the half a trillion mark (£507 billion) in 2018.
The research also found that there has been no marked increase in the total number of women within the top 250 over the last five years and at the current rate, there would not be an even split until the year 2224.
In addition, the most popular source of wealth over the last five years has been from property, with almost a quarter of the top 250 entries in each year (23 per cent) making at least some of their fortune within this industry.

Nasdaq tumble stops LinkedIn stock sale plan
Conventional Valley wisdom: The chaos in the public stock markets won't affect private companies, right? Wrong. In August, LinkedIn had set plans to let employees sell some of their shares to investors. Interest in the company had been keen, given its stated plans to wait to IPO rather than sell out. But the stock-sale plan was conditioned on the Nasdaq index staying above a certain level. It has since fallen through that floor, meaning employees will no longer be able to sell their shares. And we hear Bain Capital, a major LinkedIn investor who's backing the stock-sales plan, has the right to walk away if the Nasdaq doesn't recover by mid-October.

Columbus, Ga. -- The National Infantry Museum will salute Vietnam veterans March 20-23, as part of the nation's ongoing 50th anniversary commemoration of the Vietnam War.
The highlight of the 4-day event will be the dedication of the new Vietnam Memorial Plaza, featuring the Dignity Memorial Vietnam Wall. A ceremony will be held Friday, March 21, beginning immediately following the 10 a.m. graduation of new Infantry Soldiers on the parade field adjacent to the museum. We hope you will encourage all Vietnam veterans in our community to attend this event. There will be seating at both the graduation and the dedication reserved for Vietnam veterans and Gold Star families.
At the close of the graduation, guests will be led to the site of the new memorial along Heritage Walk on the museum's east side. The brief ceremony will feature remarks by a representative of Dignity Memorial, the company that originally commissioned the replica of the Wall; MCoE Commanding General MG H.R. McMaster; General (Retired) Barry McCaffrey; and guest speaker Colonel (Retired) Jack Jacobs, a Vietnam Medal of Honor recipient. Veterans will lay a wreath at the Wall, and a 21-gun salute and Taps will close out the ceremony.
On Thursday, March 20, the National Infantry Foundation will host "Vietnam: Valor and Sacrifice," a half-day symposium and dinner featuring four Vietnam Medal of Honor recipients, four former Vietnam prisoners of war, and guest speakers. Three authors will sell and sign their books late Thursday afternoon. Registration is required for the symposium and dinner; tickets can be purchased at www.nationalinfantrymuseum.org. The names and bios of the panelists and speakers, and a schedule of events for the symposium, are enclosed in this packet.
On Saturday, March 22, at 4 p.m., there will be an exclusive screening of a new documentary about the Vietnam War. Brothers in War – produced by Lou Reda Productions for the National Geographic Channel – recounts the harrowing combat experiences of the men of Charlie Company — one of the last American combat Infantry companies to be drafted, trained and sent to fight together in Vietnam. The screening is free and open to the public on a first-come, first-seated basis.
All weekend, volunteers will be on hand to assist visitors in locating names on the Wall. Paper and pencils will be available for those who wish to make rubbings.
A full schedule of events follows. Media wishing to cover any of these events are asked to coordinate with National Infantry Foundation Director of Communications Cyndy Cerbin at 706-685-5808.

New Year's resolutions are a great thing and sometimes can have unintended benefits.
New Year�s resolutions are a great thing and sometimes can have unintended benefits.
A recent patient was a 45-year-old woman who told me she had never been sick a day in her life.
She decided that this was the year to do something about being a bit overweight. She was a couple of weeks into her plan to eat better and had started a vigorous exercise class based on Latin dancing.
The new diet and exercise were making her tired, and she told me she realized she was more out of shape than she thought. She said she was experiencing shortness of breath with less and less exercise.
Then she passed out during Zumba class.
She said she felt more and more winded and fatigued, and then nothing. The next thing she remembered were the faces of her classmates looking down at her on the dance floor.When she came in by squad, her vital signs were normal, and her color and oxygen level were good.
A physical exam, however, revealed a heart murmur, and an EKG added to my concern. It didn�t indicate a heart attack, but there were clear-cut signs of heart strain and enlargement of her left ventricle.
My patient had exertional syncope, an episode of passing out associated with exercise. On its own, syncope can be a difficult condition to unravel, and exertional syncope is particularly worrisome.
Young and otherwise healthy patients with exertional syncope have a high risk of underlying heart disease. The condition generally implies a blood flow impediment from the left ventricle, which can be caused by a structural abnormality.
Equally as concerning are electrical abnormalities that can make the heart briefly stop, causing cardiac arrest.
My concern with this patient was heart disease. She had a murmur, which I heard over the left border of her sternum, a classic sign of an aortic valve problem. The EKG demonstrated thickening and strain of her left ventricle, which made the diagnosis clearer.
Closer review of her vital signs showed a blood pressure in which the systolic (upper value) and diastolic (lower value) were too close together. In her case, 108 over 86. Although a number of different diseases can cause this, the rest of her symptoms fit together nicely.
She likely had aortic stenosis, a narrowing of her aortic valve that obstructed the majority of blood flow from her heart. Years of this condition had caused her left ventricle to enlarge and become thicker. Her shortness of breath was not from being out of shape, but from heart-valve disease.
She ended up staying in the emergency department overnight so we could watch her heart rhythm and perform additional tests. Her echocardiogram � an ultrasound of her heart � cemented the diagnosis.
She did have aortic stenosis, and her valve likely had been diseased for years.
She had a birth defect in her aortic valve in which the normal three-leafed valve had only two leaves. This is the most common reason that we see aortic stenosis in younger patients.
Patients older than 70 typically develop aortic stenosis as a result of calcium buildup as a consequence of hypertension, diabetes or high cholesterol levels. The condition is present in about 5 percent of patients older than 85.
The treatment almost always is surgical when symptoms are as severe as theywere in my patient. Although there are a number of approaches, including opening the valve with a balloon or replacing the valve via access through the blood vessel in the groin, the gold standard is a complete valve replacementperformed through open-heart surgery.
If the narrowed aortic valve is replaced, the outcome generally is excellent. In fact, of all the procedures we do in medicine, there is good reason to believe that aortic valve replacement or repair is the one that gives patients the best outcome when measured in preserving years of productive life.
I am glad that my patient decided to make a New Year�s resolution that ultimately brought her to the emergency department. And I am glad that we could find the cause of her exertional syncope and start the process to correct it.
And I anticipate that she will be back doing Zumba soon.
Dr. Diane Gorgas is an emergency physician at Ohio State University Medical Center.

The Church of Who?
I have been remiss about keeping up with the new season of Doctor Who – I have the episodes recorded but haven't had a chance to watch yet, so no spoilers, sweeties! – but this has not in any way tarnished my love for the show.
But love has different levels, different strengths. While I do very much enjoy the show and think about it a lot as any geek does, I don't think I would say I worship it. Still, I had to smile as I watched this video by Mike Rugnetta at the PBS Idea Channel, where he asks: is Doctor Who a religion?
It's a funny idea, and he certainly brings a lot of evidence to the table! If I were taking the question seriously, I'd say it's not a religion unless people actually believe the show is real. Otherwise, it's more of a philosophy.
But then, of course, there's this. Hmmm:
Thinking on this more, though, I suspect that if I had to start a church of Who, it wouldn't have the Doctor as the central figure. Clearly, if you watch this, you'll see it's Karen Gillan who possesses supernatural powers.
Of course, my choice of Ms. Gillan here has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that when I attended the Doctor Who panel at Comic Con this year and went up to take this photo, she looked right at me:
Sigh. My heart may belong to River Song, but what can I say? Unlike the Doctor, I'm only human.
Tip o' the sonic to Nerdist.

Howard Willard's "Written" Line
So striking, in fact, that I initially mistook their work as being done by the same person. Of course, on closer examination, the nuances of individual style became apparent.
But consider: Shaw had a background in sign painting, and Howard Willard was said to be passionate about typography. It is this calligraphic background that informs the work of both artists and is responsible for what has been described as a "written" line style.
Howard Willard was the subject of an article by Henry C. Pitz in the June 1950 issue of American Artist magazine. This week, we'll take a closer look at what Pitz described as Willard's "nomadic chronology" and how a life of world travel influenced both the style and substance of his art.
This week; Howard Willard's 'written line'.

Hi, Leif,ReplyDelete
any theories about how these two artists work, regarding materials? For years I have been generating thick-to-thin linework for my editorial illustrations using custom brushes in Painter and Photoshop but have been searching endlessly for the right natural media tool to emulate the results. It seems that Willard and Shaw were using the perfect tools for this - what were they?! Broad tip nibs with india ink? Doesn't seem possible...
Greetings Leif!ReplyDelete
Howard's work looks wonderful & like Shaw's, is almost calligraphic in it's appeared sense of spontaneity. Thanks for the intros!
Leif, Gee, maybe it's time to talk about Wallace Morgan and his drawings skills, again. These fellows are great and the calligraphic nature of their line work is true eye candy, and so hard to do!ReplyDelete
Kyle; I will touch on that tomorrow, though it will be more guess work than concrete answer. Still, I hope it helps a bit.ReplyDelete
Zach; you hit the nail when you said "appeared spontaneity" because of course its the rare case indeed when an artist can create such flawless work spontaneously! Shaw worked straight-to-ink, but threw away five failed pieces for every one that succeeded - and according to Pitz's article, Willard's illustrations "have the look of improvisation [but] are usually the end result of much research, much thought and many sketches."
Chuck; I'm unfamiliar with the work of Wallace Morgan, but as I always say, every day on this blog is a learning experience for me, so I'm happy you mentioned a new name for me to look into!
In today's inspiration's Nov. 21 post,ReplyDelete
Shaw said he used a series 7 #3 watercolor brush for the on the spot
Dang! - you beat me to it Harold, but yes - I was going to say that I bet Willard (as well as Shaw) would consider a W&N Series 7 No. 3 Sable to be an essential tool for anybody planning to sling ink.ReplyDelete
Shaw and this guy both knock me out--- I 'm going to do a comic book story like this one day.ReplyDelete

Year in Review: Carbon dioxide levels pass milestone
Panel affirms humans' role in warming
Even as skeptics continued to doubt human-caused climate change, scientists grew more confident than ever this year that people are driving global warming.
In September, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that it is 95 to 100 percent certain that human activity — largely fossil fuel burning — is the main cause of rising temperatures since the 1950s (SN Online: 9/27/13).
The IPCC also dismissed a common argument that the apparent slowdown in global warming over the last 15 years is evidence that humans aren't altering climate.
The IPCC noted that small slices of time aren't good indicators of longer trends. And researchers at the

65 years ago today, Russian troops liberated what was left of the Auschwitz death camp. Unfortunately less than 3,000 inmates were left, the rest had either been executed or put on a forced death march away from the camp. The camp itself was in tatters as the SS had tried to destroy as much evidence of their crimes as possible.
65 years ago isn't that long ago really. I know lots of people of that age and older. They were alive at the same time these poor soles were being tortured and gassed – this is not a medieval crime akin to burning the witches, this is a modern-day crime, meticulously planned and carried out by intelligent people.
Every year (About this time) another conversation/debate rages about should we keep Auschwitz and other symbols of Nazi persecution. Why don't we just raze them to the ground and eradicate the evidence of how shitty the human race can be with each other. (Pardon the language).
I say no. We must keep them all. We must study and try to understand how these tragic events came to be in the first place and ensure we teach out children, and our children's children that this simply cannot happen again. Having visited Auschwitz first hand recently I can testify that these monuments will gain ever more importance as the years pass and the people who witnessed the events first hand fade away. We must carry on their fight.
I think we owe it to them.
It's encouraging to see that, in Hampshire at least, the Holocaust is being taught at school and is taken seriously by schools and pupils alike. One of my neighbours have a teenage daughter (Lyndsay McGregor) that recently met a holocaust survivor as part of a history field trip. On the back of this meeting, Lyndsey wrote the following poem which she has allowed me to share with you…
Tired of Guilt
I can see your face but I know you're not there.
I know that you are just a nightmare,
I can see in your face the hell you were in,
I can wait simply for the hell to begin,
I know it could have been me who was taken,
And still now I hope only to waken,
It wasn't my fault, all were at risk,
All of us suffered no matter how brisk,
I have suffered long without your help,
No matter how wild you were, young whelp,
You know I loved you with all of my heart,
And it broke when were pulled without mercy apart,
Teas have left empty grooves in my face
But I have no left for others to chase
But I am still here and you are elsewhere,
I can accept it but still we move nowhere,
I shall never forget you but know I must leave
For also I almost died for what I believe.
Poignant, I think you would agree, and lets us hope that if the rest of the future generation think as deeply about the Holocaust as Lyndsey then hopefully the human race won't repeat it's mistakes…
