The God Virus (7) How Religion Infects Our Lives and Culture Darrel W Ray recoveringreligionists.com

Recovering Religionists of America: RR have set up groups across the United States such as Kansas Birmingham Toledo Missouri, the aim the groups is to give support to those who after leaving religion find themselves issolated with no one to disscuss it openly with. Some people even continue going to church because their spose is devoted to that religion and fear a resulting breakup.
Even some ex-priests turn up at the meetings.
-Darrel W Ray, Ed.D., the American author of The God Virus: His book asks why are people so clear about the faults and failures of other religions and so blind to those of their own? You can get more details, including links to YouTube conversations with Darrel Ray, at

Recovery Groups: Recovering from religion what a great idea.

@ThePatzPatz You made this comment 7 months ago, I am curious whether you still hold the same beliefs now. To answer your question, atheists can believe lots of different things regarding promiscuity and what their moral code is, because atheism is a lack in belief in God, not a belief in a certain moral code. However, I for one believe that as long as the sex is consensual then it is moral. Cheating on your spouse is also wrong because you are breaking a promise.

Enjoyable lecture.

i agree with what he says, i do believe theres a creator of all things but i also think religions, even tho they can be positive in some ways, end up being hijacked by manipulative individuals that do use of them and take advantage of ignorant or naive people,i dont know what u atheist thing about for example promiscuity. i have a lot of family that is immersed in the world of christian pastorship and they think atheist are bad people cuz they believe that by being atheist they lack morals

If Jesus really lived and died, Jesus was not God.

If Jesus died on Friday and less than 36 hours later on Sunday he undied, Jesus made no permanent sacrifice.
