Family Feud
August 30, 2007

A few months ago I joined the New Orleans Secular Humanists Association. I wanted to help the religious residents of New Orleans discover that Atheists are not evil people. NOSHA is NOLA's only "free thinker" organization. I began to participate in their online discussion group but quickly realized there was something askew. I'm now under the impression that the organization has political motivations. I have no desire to see a "Free thinker" make office. A Thinker would suffice for me.

Most Humanist groups seem to be designed to give people who want a religion without god, a social outlet. NOSHA is a wild woman. Private organizations protesting other private organization is a strange ball game. New Orleans Christians have nothing to fear. NOSHA is about as skilled at drawing in new members, as a preacher is at making sence. This was my goodbye kiss.

Dear NOSHA

We've had some good times but I think I'm going to have to break it off. It's not that your ugly or intellectually unstimulateding, I've just been seeing another girl, Philosophy801. Some would say that this is masturbation, but I believe that the true principles of liberty, equality and social responsibility are objective. No committee is needed, just a persistent examination of facts, self criticism and metaphysical proofs.

I knew from the start that we would most likely end like this. Our "values" are just too different. For instance, I know that a Human with even modest brain waves, that's in a state of growth, has Human rights. Therefore killing a middle 1st trimester human is infanticide. I frown greatly upon murder. What exactly is that choice you support?

I also have a problem with your opposition to the liberty of other "non-profit" corporations. The Boy scouts (homophoebes) of America are registered as a non-profit private corporation and are funded from private donations. I empathize with your sympathy because MENSA has discriminated against me. You see, I'm only in the upper 3% of the population in Intelligence Quota. They've banned me from the round table! If you would picket them, I might consider a little somethin' somethin', on the side.

The main reason I put forth the effort to get to know you was because I thought you were focused and organized in opening up the eyes of the faith heads. Supernaturalism is a terrible sickness. Just look at those monks who let the mosquitoes suck their blood. Something is terribly wrong when you let a bug that's attacking you have free rain of your vessels. But I've come to realize that you're actually hurting the cause. You give the christfans a target, a face on the devil they fear. I'm close to many christfans and even though they're a little silly in the head, most of them are nice people, just like you.

Well I'm out the door. I've got Zero in my hand and I'll be looking for a new mate that loves Zero as much as I do. Lord knows, one has to have something to bind you with your mate.
