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.

funny. Sweden= One of the most atheistic countries. Sweden= ONe the the most similar to socialistic countries. Sweden= One of the happiest countries, with low crime rates, and low amount of poverty.

The US HAS ALLOT TO LEARN.

[anonymepelle]

you have to remember the difference between not making a law to forbid something, and encouraging people to do the same thing.

Sweeden didn't legalice bestiality because they want, or even encourage people to have sex with animals, but because theres no reasonable reason to outlaw it.

And if u ask a everyday sweed, i think he would say bestiality is grosse, just like everybody else. :)

[M3t4lManiac]

Bestiality is legal in Denmark as well.. .xD

@LanteanKnight Your reasons are cultural problems and that is the whole point, we are trying to change that culture, and yes, gay people can and do reproduce all the time, Teddy Haggard has like 6 children.

@Cuythulu

Although I agree it's not a choice, I can name a lot of reasons being gay is bad for someone; they are discriminated, they are excluded from marriage, they can't have children etc.

@Cuythulu male rape?

[NormanAngle]

In England it's quite similar concerning the Anglican church, though not as far "forward".

@Cuythulu

Breeding/Family problems.

@horbergaren You can fuck animals yes.

However I suspect the percent of people that DO this is not impressive.
