This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

atheist exemption card
 
As Exemptions Grow, Religion Outweighs Regulation - New York Times
An analysis by The New York Times of laws passed since 1989 shows that more than 200 special arrangements, protections or exemptions for religious groups or their adherents were tucked into Congressional legislation, covering topics ranging from pensions to immigration to land use. New breaks have also been provided by a host of pivotal court decisions at the state and federal level, and by numerous rule changes in almost every department and agency of the executive branch.

The special breaks amount to “a sort of religious affirmative action program,” said John Witte Jr., director of the Center for the Study of Law and Religion at the Emory University law school.



What I want is an exemption card for atheists. This card would exempt me from all the religious bullshit that pervades our society. I could buy liquor anywhere I wanted. I could watch TV shows with all the nude scenes and obscene language intact. I could go out to eat on Sundays and work any day I want. Additionally, I wouldn't have to deal with religious people on Sundays as they would not be able to go out shopping or anything else without their religious exemption card.

Let's be honest, we all know a "good christian" that claims they can't work on Sunday and then goes out to eat and shopping after church while all of us that have to work Sundays deal with them and their special-ness.
