Target, sure, but I still won't shop at Walmart.

I haven't forgiven Target for driving off the Salvation Army at Christmas. Shoppers vote
with dollars.

I reward companies for not supporting cults, and the SA most certainly
meets all the definitions of a cult.

Would Planned Parenthood meet your definition of a cult?

Nope, not even close. They don't worship anything, they don't wear
militaristic uniforms, they don't have members, they don't require their
employees to believe in anything, they don't dictate who their employees
can marry, etc.

Planned parenthood is filled with pro life types? Wow, news flash.

It is not staffed by delusional anti choice religious nuts if that's
what you're getting at. The catholic church with their nazi pedophile
protecting pope isn't staffed by pro choice types either. You can also
draw your own conclusions on which group has violently attacked the
other as well.

Interesting choices of words.

So Roger, which..if any..religious faith do you belong to? Or are you an
athiest?


Life long devout atheist. I have never needed a fairy tale religious
mythology to shield me from the real world.


Ok...so now I think we are getting to the root of the matter.

Could it be that your sureity is such that you have issues with people
devoting their lives to their religion in such a fashion?

Nah...it couldnt be...could it?


I certainly do have an issue with mentally ill people trying to force
their delusions on me.

You are not a leftwinger are you?


Not even close. I'm a centrist extremist - pro-choice pro-gun.

They are the only people that I know that are that bigoted to hate other
people because of their religion...well..Im sure you arent a Muslim..so
that leaves that pack of haters and bigots out.....


You do realize that the superstitious groups you are trying to defend
are the haters and bigots. Recall all the atheist billboards being
vandalized by religious loons and all the religious billboards not being
vandalized by atheists.


Could it be because of their chosen careers..you would call them..as a
direct opposite of your religious beliefs...cultists?


I call them what they are, and they do indeed match the cult definitions
provided by mr Stormin'.


You do know that Atheism is just another unprovable religious belief,
dont you?


It is an evidence supported belief, unlike religious mythology.

The promoters of religious mythology have had many thousands of years to
find an supporting evidence for their superstitions, and have failed to
find one shred of evidence, much less proof. One by one their
mythological claims have been proven false by overwhelming evidence. The
ones who think the earth is 6,000 years old are truly laughable and
should be in a loony bin, since there are live trees older than that,
and mountains (literally) of evidence proven to be millions of years
old.
