TO ALL REGARDS ATHEIST JOKE...

June 10, 2010

ok..I am so tired of all this drama..this is a loving group I have been part of for many years.

first off i am Pagan/Witch..yes that's right and as i learned over the years of my life no one can make me upset unless i let them..do you know how many jokes go around about witches LOL I think its a hoot. I am very comfortable with who I am so even sometimes I find them funny myself.

We are all here with one common thing and its killing us. so lets stop the drama and get over it.

many blessings to all

I am an atheist and I didn't find it funny. I wasn't insulted just didn't find it funny, but I suppose the point is if I posted a joke stating that people who believe in God were fools, would I be in big trouble - YOU BET!> > > > Subject: Atheist Holy Day> To: neurosarcoidosis , " Bettis" , Robosan@..., "Skot Stribolt" , "June Wittwer" , "Steve and Sue Kirkwold" > Date: Saturday, June 5, 2010, 12:19 AM> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > This is excellent !! > > Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day! > > Gotta love this Judge! > > You must read this.......a proper decision by the courts...for a change. > > FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY > > In Florida , an atheist created a case against Easter and Passover Holy days. > He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days.

Thanks, . Life is so much easier if we don't take ourselves too seriously. I'm a Christian & I have a whole collection of cartoons & jokes about Christians. I even have a drawing of Jesus (artist's conception, of course!) laughing, which some Christians would consider sacrilegious. But I love it. God must have a sense of humor--she created men, didn't she?

Jesus must surely have had a good sense of humor. He was about love and He wanted his brothers and sisters happy ... also He was invited to lots of parties with merriment and stuff. I believe the stuffy priests at that time (forgot what they were called) must have been the stuck-up ones! LOL L. -MayeTo:

Hi,

Why can't people resist the temptation to leave religion out of their posts? Save it for religious Yahoo groups. We all possess the power to heal ourselves and if religious beliefs help, then it's a wonderful thing, any positive thoughts are wonderful, but please keep it to yourself. The people here and information shared has a wealth beyond words and the moderator is a saint.

It might just be that the "stuck up ones" are the educated few and they should be respected equally. I'd love to see this thread buried. I'm not an atheist but I'm sure if I posted a joke about Jesus all holy hell would break out. It might not hurt if a few of you read this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existence_of_God

have a happy & and feel well

Rick

Rick, thanks for weighing in. Actually, my guess is that most of us would be fine with a Jesus joke. I have a favorite about walking on water. Sure, some would be offended, but the thing is, you have to be careful about using general categories. All "Christians" are not the same, any more than all "Muslims," "mechanics," or "Yankees." I get so frustrated when I read or hear about cruel & hurtful things people do in the name of Christianity. But I'm capable of cruel & hurtful things myself at times.

We've dealt with the religious issue more times than I can remember over the years, and we've found that it is very difficult for most of us to separate our spirituality from our physical & emotional struggles. We've repeatedly stressed tolerance & respect for others. But being that we are imperfect beings in an imperfect world, it doesn't always happen that way.

This thread will dwindle out, as all do, especially the less attention paid to it. Please continue to contribute your knowledge & experience to the group; we need everyone's input.
