As a freethinker and an anti-authoritarian, I don't want to promote people worship, but in the case of SolarSky22, it is completely justified!
After reading the latest posts on Cult Corruption Tribe I'm convinced this is one of the brightest lights <groan> on tribe.net.
Thanks for sharing your brilliance <groan> with us.
I guess I'm destined to be a latent sun worshipper from afar,

UN Sets Dangerous Precedent with "Defamation of Religions" Resolutions

February 13,2009

"The basic human right to freedom of expression is increasingly under threat as countries introduce and enforce laws that have been wrongfully legitimized by numerous United Nations resolutions on "defamation of religions." In a statement sent to the UN Human Rights Council today, Freedom House and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty strongly urged members of the council to reject any further resol... read more

With the US Presidential election just a couple weeks away - I just wanted to post a reminder to get involved in separation of church and state issues by being informed on what's going on.

One way to be informed immediately about issues as they're happening right now is by signing up for the Action Alerts by e-mail. Here are the some in no particular order that I highly recommend signing up for and considering getting a membership:

about me
Environmentally, I feel strongly that we should give great care for the only planet that we have to live on. 'Don't bite the hand that feeds you', we should always take good care of our environment. We should work *WITH* nature, not have the 'nature should work with us' mentality. God or no god, we should always be good stewards towards the only planet that we have to live on...regardless of religious or non-religious beliefs. Destruction of the only planet that we have should be a criminal act worthy of jail. I think it should be a law in every gov't around the world. The Earth Pledge: "I pledge allegiance to the Earth and all the life it supports. One Planet, in our care, irreplaceable, with sustenance and respect for all. May the forest be with you." Enjoy this quiz & discover your own ecological footprint - www.earthday.net/footprint/index.asp

Energy wise, I feel strongly about energy solutions that are both environmentally sound & sustainable. Enjoy my tribe, "Zero Point Energy". Give this website a good going over & be sure to view the videos - www.disclosureproject.org/

Health wise, I don't like the health care system in the US at all. It's an embarrassment. I enjoy the Naturopathic Medicine philosophies. Enjoy my tribe, "Naturopathic Medicine".

Politically, I'm an INDEPENDENT - I'm conservative on many issues & I'm liberal on others. I enjoy the political humor of the "Daily show" & the "Colbert Report" on Comedy Central.

I don't think that conservatives today deserve to carry the "conservative" label rather, they should be known for what some of them really are: "CONSUMERATORS" that seem to have no conscience. I'm disgusted with the corruption & incompetence of the Bush W. administration & I'm also very disappointed with 'SPINELESS' Democrats. I have lost confidence in our gov'ts ability to do the right things & I've lost confidence in some Americans ability to recognize the difference.

The "Tea-Baggers" should've been teabagging during the Bush years. Nobody grew big gov't like G.W. Bush while giving huge tax breaks to the wealthiest top 1% and assorted deregulation ending in the near collapse of the economy. BUSH TURNED EVERY PROBLEM INTO A MAJOR CRISIS!!! Those who voted for him in 2004 should also be held accountable for keeping him in office/power for an additional 4 years. They should lose their right to vote for voting for the worst President in US history who caused more destruction than any other administration. You should be ashamed of yourself.

I will not vote for any politician who is not tuff on both BORDER SECURITY & ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. We are under invasion!!! We desperately need to enforce the laws already in the books. Amnesty has already failed us, which is why we're in this situation now. Thank Reagan & his '86' Amnesty program for that one. I mostly blame the businesses & gov't that hire illegals, i.e. CORPORATE AMERICA - they are the FELONS. If the Democrats don't get tuff on these issues, along with S.S.#/I.D. theft patrol, outsourcing/exporting America patrol, port security etc, they may loose in both 2010 & 12. All of these issues are synergistically connected & are destroying America from within & can no longer be ignored. They all need to be on a priority list - Pass it on please.

I feel strongly about our US Constitution & the principle, 'Separation of church & state'. Enjoy my tribe, "Separation of church & state". I think that religion should stay out of politics or be taxed. Enjoy the quizzes - www.ffrf.org/quiz/

“Religious freedom is one thing,” says Joan Bokaer, director of TheocracyWatch, a project of the Center for Religion, Ethics, and Social Policy (CRESP) at Cornell University. “But religious extremism is something completely different. What people aren’t aware of is just how deeply the radical religious right has penetrated our government—in all three branches. We really are very close to becoming a theocracy. People have reason to be worried.”

Must view these 2 VIDEOS in this order (& give the entire website good going over): 1. "Life and Liberty for All Who Believe" 2. "The Rise of Dominionism" www.theocracywatch.org/audio-video.htm

I feel that women should have a legal right to choose an abortion & it's nobody else's business. Nobody likes the Idea of an abortion. It's NOT like cotton candy at the fair. We can work together to keep abortion at a minimum with the right policies that actually make sense. The word abortion is *NOT* in the bible & out of more than 600 laws of Moses, none comments on abortion. Enjoy this article, "What Does The Bible Say About Abortion?" www.ffrf.org/nontracts/abortion.php

Religiously, I'm now a Freethinker/Atheist/Mythicist after being Xian (Christian) for 20 years. "Atheist" is properly defined as one who simply has an "absence of belief in any gods". That's it, nothing more, nothing less (For further explanation see, "What is a Freethinker?" www.ffrf.org/nontracts/freethinker.php )(What is a Mythcist? - www.stellarhousepublishing.com/my...tml ).

I don't want to be dominated by any of the Abrahamic religions (especially Islam). If I were to chose a favorite religion I'd go with Buddhism. I enjoy meditation to relax and the idea that all of life is "sacred." Killing in the name of any god or holy text is pure evil and a crime against humanity.

At some point in ones life, one must begin to ask very serious questions concerning religion. I simply got tired of being lied to. The bible should have a disclaimer sticker that reads something like this: "This book discusses gods. The existence of entities with supernatural powers is controversial, and many believe that myths, especially other people's myths, are fictional. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully, and critically considered." OR, "These stories are a collage of many other, much older stories that are known to be myths, legends &/or Astrotheology & should never be taken as literal fact."

Everyone in America should own this DVD. Request it at your local library & favorite video rental spot - Enjoy the trailer & other video clips - www.thegodmovie.com/clips.php

Watch the movie "Religulous" www.lionsgate.com/religulous/

Christianity *IS* Solar Mythology, a sun worshiping Cult & xians don't even know it. Enjoy my tribe, "Solar Mythology ~ Astrotheology" & give this website a very good going over -

“When you consider that God could have commanded anything he wanted--anything!--the Ten [Commandments] have got to rank as one of the great missed moral opportunities of all time. How different history would have been had he clearly and unmistakably forbidden war, tyranny, taking over other people's countries, slavery, exploitation of workers, cruelty to children, wife-beating, stoning, treating women--or anyone--as chattel or inferior beings.”
~ Katha Pollitt

"I contend we are both atheists, I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
~ Historian Stephen Henry Roberts 1901-71

Beyond all of that, I have a passion for life in all its splendor. I enjoy sun rises & suns sets. I enjoy the beauty, wonder & magic of our planet & throughout our universe. With all of that, I enjoy a few good laughs & a good drink along the way. Plus, keep in mind that I do all my own stunts!!!
