"C Street" is the name given to a secretive house in Washington DC, operated by the fundamentalist Christian organization known as "The Family." It serves as a meeting place and sometimes residence for prominent politicians (primarily Republicans). The house has recently gained notoriety for its relationship to the sex scandals of several Republicans including Sen. John Ensign (NV), Gov. Mark Sanford (SC), and Rep. Chip Pickering (MS).

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.

  • That is pretty scary stuff. Soon this might expand into Christian belief systems all around the world. As soon as a political head makes a statement that he is above the voice of the people, that person needs to be permanently removed from a role that is supposedly voicing the views of the people. I can't believe they aren't tarred and feathered then ridden out on a rail to be honest. I see it as a violation of the duty of the job.

  • I always wonder how Conservatives can call themselves moral or Christian (following the Teachings of Jesus) when their policies include war for profit (invented by dick Cheney, who registers as #1 representative of conservatives in America) torture, oppression of the poor and the end of humanity through the raping of the planet by corporations (Republican dogma supports NO environmental regulation)?? I could go on and on.... anyone? Who would Jesus bomb?

  • REPEAT AFTER ME: All religious fundamentallists are sexually frustrated. They repress themselves and hate to be reminded who and what they are when they see someone who reminds them of who and what they are. Look at Jimmy Bakker. Anti this, anti that, yet turned dto other men when he was in jail. And the worst part is: UNEDUCATED HILLBILLIES GAVE HIM,AND TAMMY, THEIR MONEY. THEY WERE BUYING THEIR WAY INTO HEAVEN. THE FUCKING IDIOTS WERE SHORT-CHANGED BY A CHRISTIAN BONNIE AND CLYDE COUPLE

  • P.S. - They may not be FUN but they sure are MENTAL!! Now, why couldn't they be NORMAL LOONIES instead of being LOONEY LOONIES? God, they are! When Jimmy Swaggard was born, the midwife looked at him and slapped his mommy! The she look at Jimmy, threw him away and held onto the after-birth! Good Heavens, the best part of Jimmy Swaggart ran down his father's leg!!

  • All religions have one thing in common - THEIR SPIRITUALITY. It'snot Religion that murders people. It is PEOPLE who murder people. Religion does NOT start wars. People start wars! But those FUNDAMENTALISTS who start war do so because they are MENTAL. They have social, class, sexual complexes. If they go to Church, or Mosque/Temple/Synagogue, it makes them feel a bit "better class". But others in the church look down on them socially. But they still think Heaven awaits them. Does it?

  • I was already struggling with Australopithecus linage. Now its worse. ahhhh

  • Free energy technology exists!But the big oil corporations don't want that technology revealed,Get a motor that works with the power of magnets only at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Let the revolution begin!

  • @Krocotto Excuse me,if you bother to read, I annihilated every one of your "points" & you offer nothing but more ad hominem attacks Why don't you look up The Cult of Reason, who massacred about 10,000 people in the hope of making France a "rational, atheistic society"? You sound allot like them. Or Enver Hoxha's Rationalist, scientist regime based on Atheism that murdered millions or the Soviet Union's Order of the Militant Godless

    You're just another rambling homicidal fundie of Atheism

  • @mysticresistence Ah, enough of the child who, quoting authors and profs, has nothing to offer.

    Come back when you've learned on your own, and can do something besides parrot others.

    You're just another liar for god, the kind who help support the idiocies that produce the 9-11 bombers, the clinic bombers, etc.

    In other words, a person too weak and stupid to understand that in their over-educated ignorance, they are helping the insane destroy the world in the name of god, allah, etc.

  • @Krocotto Yes, and there are schizophrenics who claim to see J Edgar Hoover too, does that me Hoover doesn't exist? Also, not all mysticism is about a deity, & anyone who spent so much as ten minutes studying religion & mysticism would know that. Taoist have a mystic connection with nature, same with Wiccans although many of them personify it in a kind of pantheism and/or animism...so I guess nature doesn't exist either?

    LMAO! A fallacy on top of a strawman wrapped in reductio ad adsurdum!

    :)

  • @Krocotto What the hell does Vietnam have to do with this? Last time I saw a strawman that big, I was watching "The Wizard of Oz", LOL!

    Ohh, & Zen mediation involves seeing the world as it is, which is the exact opposite of a hallucination. According to a Bloomsburg University study, zen monks had a better than average ability to discern illusions from reality, i.e., they were less likely to see things...but what does a University study know? LOL!

    keep this up, man, you have me ROTFL

  • @Krocotto Ad hominem attacks again.They don't make your position look very good. You realize that you'd be kicked out of any academic debate if you said things like that...but I suppose the professors & university in question would all be a bunch of "doofusses" too? Ohh, & all Atheist groups have something uniting them: they are all 1) in a group and 2) all Atheists. Wiccans, on the other hand, are polytheist, non-theist, agnostic, pantheist etc, & many are too independent to even have a group
