It is difficult however to find atheists in real life though. Maybe it's because, like you said, we just keep our mouths shut about it to avoid conflict. Read todays post on my blog about a fight I almost got into last night over my beliefs. It's ridiculous how angry people get when you mention that you don't believe in god.Rusko Elvenwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957007935185875982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1140663839108791912006-02-22T21:03:00.000-06:002006-02-22T21:03:00.000-06:00Some stuff deserves ridicule, including claims tha...<I>Some stuff deserves ridicule, including claims that atheists are oppressed.</I><BR/><BR/>One good point that Johnson brought up, "You can be elected as an openly gay politician in this country, but you can't be elected as an openly atheistic one." You have to at least pretend to believe in some form of christianity or you will never be elected. <BR/><BR/>There is discriminations in some workplaces, people are disowned by families for being atheist. Many times atheists are labeled as "satanists" as my son was by his uncle because many people just think atheist = evil satanist. <BR/><BR/>I don't have a problem from anyone about my non-religious beliefs as long as I keep my mouth shut about them and tolerate others' religious beliefs silently.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1140659529267695832006-02-22T19:52:00.000-06:002006-02-22T19:52:00.000-06:00I cannot take his show seriously.I meant Tucker fu...<I>I cannot take his show seriously.</I><BR/><BR/>I meant Tucker fucker's show...not Stewart...Stewart makes me laugh no matter who he is making fun of and he isnt' trying to pass himself off as a serious journalist.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1140658917710434712006-02-22T19:41:00.000-06:002006-02-22T19:41:00.000-06:00One more thing Jason...all else aside, you have to...One more thing Jason...all else aside, you have to be joking that you are a fan of Carlson!<BR/><BR/>I didn't say I was a big fan of everything Lindorff stands for I said I agree with his opinion of Carlson. I think people of various organizations think Carlson is a bag of hot air. It's all sensationalism and trying to start a ruckus with guests to get ratings. The guests are probably pre-chosen for that reason.

It's all for show. That's why it was so funny when Jon Stewart was on his show...they both are in the entertainment field.

The last time I saw his show Carlson was making fun of some kid who thought males were being discriminated against in American schools. Some stuff deserves ridicule, including claims that atheists are oppressed. I'd like to see the transcript though.<BR/><BR/>Lindorff is a 1960s radical who still does the hippie folk music thing. Alexander Cockburn, who runs counterpunch.org, is a Stalinist. Yes, a Stalinist. I'm not making this stuff up.

I would have liked for her to use the phrase "other minority groups" if she wants to make comparisons. <BR/><BR/>Tucker is not a real journalist...he is another Jerry Springer. He finds people who are going to make him look good all the time. I hate Jerry Springer type shows, and usually AVOID Tucker's asshole show but was interested in hearing what Ellen Johnson had to say and who she is. We read articles these people write, and rarely get to see them speak. <BR/><BR/>I don't care WHO is on his crappy show from now on, I am not bothering watching him anymore.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18955218.post-1140623770772725522006-02-22T09:56:00.000-06:002006-02-22T09:56:00.000-06:00We finally watched that last night.

I'm also not too sure about how I feel with the whole comparison to gay oppression. I mean, I agree with what she's saying, and I understand it, but I don't think that it's necessary to align atheist with homosexuals. Hell, it's bad enough to the "moral majority" that we're godless, but now we'll be seen as gay too (NOT that there's anything wrong with that, I'm just pointing out what others may think).<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to see Sam Harris up there!!
