Atheism is Neutral Ground

It’s time to address a situation that has needed attention for many years now. With our nation being a diverse melting pot of an immense number and variety of loons, we’re facing an ever-increasing amount of tension. Most of this tension seems to emanate from religious factions that maintain opposing belief systems.

If you were to drive around Dearborn, MI, you’d notice one thing; Your white, Christian, pasty ass would be the minority. Dearborn is the Islamic capital of the USA, just about. It has also been one of the most scrutinized cities by the Department of Homeland Security in their quest to profile and label every non-Christian in the USA.

Truth and Honesty

Five missed calls from my grandmother. Five. Someone must have died. No one ever has anything that urgent to call me about unless something at my employer broke and I need to drive in to fix it.

I return her call and I’m asked if I did my taxes yet. Of course. I’ve bought a good many things I’ve needed. It’s been a rough year. We’ve even spoiled ourselves for going without for so long. We have deserved it, having struggled through. Unlike my snake of an ex who has her rent paid in full with child support. I’ve had to put blood, sweat, and tears into everything I’ve earned. No free rides. I pay my dues, even if it’s just shoe money for a section 8 recipient.
