It is quite reasonable to ask why active atheists are often spending their time just opposing something. Atheists are not bringing any new ideology to replace the religions. They just claim that people can live a fuller and freer life without the reigns of religions.

Why am I spending my precious time writing these words? I could as well leave the whole business and just admit that some people think like me and others do not.

The issue is not so simple, however. This attitude is quite justified if religion is a private matter and it is not on offer every day in daycare, in preschool, school, boy scouts and even in communal care for the elderly as is the case here in Finland, which has a reputation as an extremely secular nation.

Great news! Another Atheist Minister is available to perform ceremonies in and around: Meltham, west Yorkshire UK! Rev. Simon Rochell is ready to serve all your needs.

We took the plunge and built a church over in Second Life. It’s small but nice, with a modern feel about it. Details on how to find us at the bottom of this article.

For those who don’t know. Second Life is a thriving online simulated world. Complete with land ownership, currency, creation/purchase/sale of objects, and of course interaction with other live online people. Millions of people and organizations have established themselves on Second Life, some sell real world or in game objects to make an actual living! You should check it out.

While playing is free, to buy land in SL costs money, real money. Objects and buildings cost money, too. Obviously we can’t afford some big sprawling estate, but we did get a nice piece of land, in a beautiful area, with a very sleek little building for our church. There is a limit on the number of objects (buildings included) a given size property can hold, so the small building actually works out great.

A sadist who enjoyed devising new methods of torture to inflict pain on his children has been locked up for nine years.

A judge told the fanatical Christian preacher that his campaign of long-term, calculated cruelty was “almost beyond belief”.

The man’s wife, also a Christian extremist, was jailed for six years.

Judge Christopher Prince described her as “a strong and forceful personality” who chose to do nothing to protect her two sons from their tyrannical father.

The couple were led to the cells in handcuffs at Bradford Crown Court yesterday.

Both sat impassively in the dock with their arms folded as the judge passed sentence. Neither can be named because of the need to protect the identity of their sons, aged 13 and 11.

During a ten-week trial, the jury heard harrowing evidence from the boys, who were mutilated, bound and beaten at their Bradford home.
