Atheist Christmas by Robert Crenshaw

I totally associated with the lyrics in this

great holiday song by Robert Crenshaw.

Thanks to

Stubby's House of Christmas

Holiday Musings

Just wanted to mention a couple of things I saw on the Net yesterday.

First, the Friendly Atheist showcased this display by The Triangle Freethought Society Raleigh, North Carolina.

I like it. As Hemant says: "It's positive without being disparaging."

The Triangle Freethought Society site.

AlterNet had the a great column by Greta Christina:

7 Reasons for Atheists to Celebrate the Holidays

A great list and I agree with many of her choices. Last year, I did a similar post. If you want to read it, click here.

UPDATE: Dr. Monkey over at Monkey Muck had a very similar post today. Check it out!

“Don’t Label Me” Billboard Campaign

The British Humanist Association has been running various billboards to raise money.

They are unveiling a new campaign tomorrow, to coincide with Universal Children's Day.

I like it, a lot.

Simple and cute, yet it still gets the point across.

I am an Atheist

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, so today I am taking part in "I am an Atheist", set forth by the OUTcampaign.org

Here is their description of the day, from their Facebook event page:

We rally for freedom of thought, the right to believe and not to.

We rally to erase the social stigma around nonbelief.

We rally in solidarity with those who live where freedom and equality for nonbelievers is only a dream.

We rally to tell the world: we are nonreligious, we are equal, respect us.

This is not a hate rally: we are against false beliefs, not those who believe in them. Intolerance will not be tolerated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, there you go. I am an Atheist. Yet, like you and everyone else, I am more. I am a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a friend, a neighbor, an American.

Look around the Internet and see if anyone else you know has a 'Scarlet A' today.

Peace!
