Christian Imperialism is Destroying Democracy
Religious freedom? Yes. Theocracy? Hell no! Click here for an utterly chilling BuzzFlash video.
President George W. Bush: "The United States is a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles and beliefs."
President George Washington: "The government of the United States is in no sense founded on the Christian Religion."
Benjamin Franklin: "Some books against Deism fell into my hands; they were said to be the substance of sermons preached at Boyle’s Lectures. It happened that they wrought an effect on me quite contrary to what was intended by them; for the arguments of the Deists, which were quoted to be refuted, appeared to me much stronger than the refutations; in short, I soon became a thorough Deist."
President Thomas Jefferson: "I do not find in Christianity one redeeming feature."
President James Madison: "A just government has no need for the clergy or the church."
President Abraham Lincoln: "The Bible is not my book, nor Christianity my religion."
What this blog is not is an attack on Christians in general. What it is is an attack on the attempt of some Christians to codify their subjective morality into the laws which govern us all, the wanton blurring of the line separating church and state by the religious right, and the marginalization of LGBT Americans and non-Christians due to the religious right’s agenda of imperialism, hatred, bigotry, and misogynism.
The Fight for Women’s Lives
Pro-choice is pro-life! Abortion can never be stopped. Ever. All making it illegal will do is cost women their lives, all because they were prevented from making decisions regarding their own health care.
This blog is a place for me to gather my thoughts on a woman’s right of reproductive choice and a place to expose the truth about the religious right’s lies regarding abortion.
Praise Be To Reason
Christian Fundamentalist’s Prayer: "Dear Father in Heaven, please drive logic and reason from my mind, and create in me an empty head. Please help me to continue ignoring the wealth of evidence against Christian mythology and its claim to moral superiority. Please squash all sense of individuality in me and make me a mindless automaton, an empty vessel for your leaders here on Earth to take advantage of. I want to be a doormat, O Big Scary One, an opinion-less statistic for my church’s body count. Your will be done, dear God, and to hell with my will. Dear Wrathful and Hot-tempered One, may the separation between church and state in America be utterly obliterated and may the beliefs and politics of the Christian Church become a law enslaving all Americans, whether Christian or not. It is in Jesus name I pray (for I am afraid of my own name). Amen."
This blog is a place for me to gather my thoughts on the poison of Christian philosophy, a place to expose the truth about human spirituality---a truth that the Christian Church prevented people from speaking for so many hundreds of years through coercion, torture, and murder.

Taking Nettles and Making Nettle Tea
"I am treated as evil by those who feel persecuted because they are not allowed to force me to believe as they do." (author unknown)
Taking nettles and making nettle tea is the Witch’s version of taking the lemons life throws you and making lemonade. Because of rogue Christian imperialism in the United States, Pagan Americans are being marginalized as immoral, valueless, and evil. This blog is a place where the truth can be told about Paganism, Witchcraft, and the like, quite apart from the lies told by some Christians.
