  1. A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

    Nothing is so pleasing to these gods as the butchery of unbelievers. Nothing so enrages them, even now, as to have some one deny their existence.

    Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
    Lecture (1872-01-29), “The Gods,” Fairbury Hall, Fairbury, Illinois

    Sherrie was born into a JW family. #Indoctrinated as a child and silenced as a woman, she discovered alarming facts that soon propelled her into #apostasy.

  3. In the #Religiosity and #Thinking session, I'm sharing different aspects of the new #data I presented Wednesday (at #AtheismExplained, see top post in thread):

    In addition to the aforementioned findings, we found that #spirituality correlated with #reflection test performance LESS reliably than #religiosity (and #apostasy) did: nerdculture.de/@ByrdNick/11268

    On Wednesday, I posted 2 of the other 3 talks in today's session (Omid's and Nori's). So below I'll post only about the new one by Meara Geraty.

    Liz #Cheney, the former congresswoman from Wyoming
    and an ardent #conservative, is an #apostate for modern times. In a political party that has evolved into a personality #cult, her #apostasy resides in her #refusaltoworship its leader and in her defense of the #Constitution.

    For such impudence, she was #banished and #votedout of Congress.
