What is The Atheist Experience?

The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

if he had had true faith, he would not have put a tourniquet. god will provide. (no, I'm being ironic)

wait a minute! which came first? the mental illness or the religion?

I'm just glad the local authorities were there to reach out and lend the man a hand.

Beliefs in imaginary beings causes many people to do crazy things like that. :O/

Nov 12, 2008 my friend was killed.

The hand may sin, but it is the head that tells it to. So, technically, sinners should be cutting off their own heads.

That is, unless they're evangelists. Evangelists are all about the heart, so they'd have to stake themselves.

[Draginvry2]

At least we now know that God isn't against science and technology. Otherwise, He would have told the guy to burn the hand in an open flame. The fact that the guy was allowed to microwave his hand without offending God is a good sign. God is becoming more tolerant of change and diversity.
