...or at least he used to...
He’d heard that the United States had “In God We Trust” printed right on the currency, so he invested in derivatives. But ever since the American banks looted his account he’s looked for other options.
It has been a long, ongoing and seemingly never ending battle to defeat those who would have a theocracy in place of our democratic republic...
But never, ever give up the fight and one day we will have a truly secular United States of America.
Regardless of what holiday you do, or do not celebrate…
we at Idiot Free Zone wish the best to you and yours in this Season for Reason!!!
Coming from a Puerto Rican family in NYC, my mother made certain I was baptized a Catholic. I went to Catholic elementary school, sang in the choir for 5 years and was an altar boy for one. In fact, while my classmates wanted to be fire or policemen, I wanted to become a Maryknoll missionary, go to Africa and “save the heathen”. At night I would pray for my sweet “abuelita” (little grandmother) who I was sure would spend eternity in hell because despite her having the kindest, caring and gentle soul, she did not go to church every Sunday so would surely burn in perdition.

It's been a week since Pope Francis began his historical visit to the United States of America and tens of millions of Americans are still in awe of the man and his message...I am unabashedly one of the tens of
millions who say a daily prayer for this extraordinary man and wishes him a long and fruitful life. It is my sincere hope and wish that the love he brought from the Vatican lingers throughout our nation for a very long time. The Lord knows we need it.
So I’ve been wondering…
How many Facebook “followers” do I need to have before I can be officially considered a cult leader?

This convention is still somewhat up in the air, no pun intended. Ha. Ha. We're having kind of a hard time contacting and communicating with the current suicide bombers and also potential suicide bombers.
Since we're not quite sure where the current suicide bombing peeps are, we have to use the age old message carrying routine of mouth to mouth passing on of secret messages, and in this case the Suicide Bombers Convention messages. Or in some instances more upscale methods like using the cell phone. (If they use a cell phone, do they get a break in costs if ordering more than one? Ordering more than a dozen? This will be discussed at the convention.) In some cases our couriers are a little hesitant to get too near the suicide bomber for fear that this is the day, time and location. And our courier doesn't want to get whacked and not get the message passed on. I can see where they are coming from...or in some instances going to.
I have been thinking about the term "atheist" as a descriptor of who I am and have decided that although it still applies (i.e someone who rejects the idea of gods) it does not go far enough.
There have been so many questions that come up about everything from astrology to Bigfoot, from UFO's to the chupacabra, from angels to... well a whole long list of subjects that are not directly connected to the concept of godhood yet seem to be connected to why I am an atheist to begin with.
This meme has been going around a lot lately and it implies that there was once some Christian golden age.
My question is, when exactly was that?
