I had a couple at the door today........."Do you think the dead can live again?"
I said my 2 cents worth......."This is an atheist household & you'd be smart to check into it!"

Hello to my fellow Strong Atheists. Its been a couple of years since I dropped in to check things out here, but they've been busy ones. Sales of the book are now up to about 400, and a staunch friend has been kind enough to build me a website. I'd like to invite any here who have a few minutes to spare to come over for a look, at poppersinversion.org . I can offer as inducement only that the site is about strong and effective anti-theism. Not about bitching, but about how we could win. Don't think that possible? Come over and see....
Best regards to all,
Keith

I've been discussing a few points over the last couple of American elections with the religiously, or slightly religiously minded and I wondered what you think of them. I'm going to have to concede the point to them that the Constitution at the moment continues to trump the religious test for office that some State constitutions still carry.
One thing about the last election was the hysteria created by the media about Romney's chances. The overblowing of poll results, in fact let's face it the outright invalidity to the level of lies and propaganda, and the wretched emotions it seemed to cause to the Republican supporters.
This was followed by the secessionist cries of the extremists.
The manufactured hysteria was the first warning to me which set me thinking. Did anyone believe that the McCain/Palin ticket ever stood a chance? To the objective observer it was as if the Right had set itself to lose on purpose.
To the outside observer there had to be a reason for this, setting such weak candidates against such a media darling had to have an ulterior motive.
When they wished to impose prohibition they took down a State at a time till they had the numbers required to effect a change in the constitution, the disaffection and emotive outpourings after another snub by the votes of the American public plays right into the hands of the Christian zealots who view their way of life under threat if the country is not run by a person that claims to pray to the tooth fairy before any decisions.
The fact that some States still hold onto parts of State Constitution that demands a religious test for office is the worrying part as it remains a possible leverage to begin to shoehorn religion into public life. Indeed some are now examining the 1st Amendment and claiming it only applies to Federal legislation.
The danger doesn't seem that apparent at the moment, but I do believe it's there. The groundwork so to speak which has me wondering what there next move will be.
So just a snippet of thinking out loud, (or a heads up) just wondered if any other Atheists see a possible trend or am I being overly sensitive to a bunch of people I do not trust?

An idea:

Don't replace the Pope. End Catholicism. Close the Vatican. Sell all that art & give the money to all

@TNT: Really? One of my wives is transgender. If this is what you learnt from your interaction with transgender people, then you have to open your eyes and ears from now on and be more receptive. Start from zero.

@ ɟǝןıx dǝʇɹɐɹ  try not to pretend to know me because you don't. My understanding of transgender people comes from real life relationships.

@Regina Goodwin: I pressume it was a TG lady. You can't stop those fucktards from being mean. Be on her side if you can but the solution for her would be to get out of that social environment. They will not stop and don't expect enlightenment on any of them, even less on 13 people together.

@TNT: "Transgenders are to me like religionists or homeopathics, way too centred on the mind's misperceptions."
Yes, because you don't know anything about that, you have to formulate an opinion anyway. I don't even bother explain to you what is that; do a little bit of research, find what are transgenders, why are they so and only after that formulate an opinion about that. That is critical thinking and not pointing at one group that they are not such critical thinkers like you.

Also, @TNT, I don't think there is anything wrong with any of those procedures.  If there was something
