I am angry at the acts of Dylann Roof and I am angry that people are wishing he would end up in a "paradise" and they are forgiving him. Religion has caused society a lot of harm, but the lie of forgiveness is a huge atrocity. I am angered that the families and loved ones of the victims feel that is is necessary to forgive the person that wronged them in the worst way possible. People need to know that they do not have to forgive someone that wronged them. It is perfectly ok to hate someone or be angry. You also do not have to wish that person well or that they repent for their sins. You are giving them a pass and a clear conscience.  00:30:00Atheist Courtney Lynnyesreligion,forgiveness,dylann roof,charlestonThe events in South Carolina have angered me on several levels.

However, the problem becomes that once they leave the mindset of being religious, they feel like they should not be a part of a community again. This needs to stop. I am not suggesting atheist "churches" or Sunday assemblies, all I think we need to do is come together and help each other.  00:15:00Atheist Courtney Lynnnoatheism,atheistMost people become atheists after looking at the facts of reality and they realize their religion (and all religion) is bullshit.

However, just because someone does not have an affinity for science, does not mean they cannot accept the science that is out there. Just because someone cannot work out a complicated scientific method, does not mean they cannot look at life rationally.  00:29:00Atheist Courtney Lynnnoatheist,atheism,secular,god,religionSo many people think that atheists are all scientists or at least have an advanced understanding of science, but that is not true.

Some people think I am pushing atheism, while others think kids are too young to be labeled. Some parents choose not even tell their kids about god until a reasonable age so my books would not be needed, they say. This show will answer those questions and hopefully ease concerns about my intentions.  00:29:00Atheist Courtney Lynnnoatheism,atheist children's books,children,atheistI get a lot of questions from people about why I wrote children's books for atheists.

To be honest, it's not really a hard question to answer. Unfortuntaely, a lot of religious people think it is an impossible question to answer. They feel superior in thinking that their religion gives them the moral compass to go through life.    On this episode I will be discussing how atheists can have morals and ethics without religion.  00:29:00Atheist Courtney Lynnnoatheism,morals,religion,indoctrination,ethicsAs an atheist, I am always asked "How do you have morals without religion?"

Everything is changing, they are finding their own voice, and they are becoming their own person. They have independent thoughts and feelings. One thing that a lot of teens are going through now is growing up without religion or even coming to the realization on their own that there is no god.  Tonight's show, I will be interviewing a 14 year old, self-proclaimed agnostic atheist and what it is like going to Middle School as an atheist. Is he open about it? How do his peers view him? Does he think it matters? You will hear his thoughts and feelings on this issue!    00:29:00Atheist Courtney Lynnnoatheist,atheist teen,atheismTeenagers go through so much during this time in their lives.

Tonight's episode is about the religious indoctrination in children and why it is child abuse. Even if we grow up and realize the reality that there is no god, the indoctrination we suffered as children is ingrained or hardwired into our brains making it difficult to shed. Fear is a powerful thing beacuse we all have it. Fear is primitive and when we reinforce that fear into children, it becomes stronger and harder to get rid of.    Teaching a child that they will go to hell for a sin is mental abuse and it needs to stop!  00:30:00Atheist Courtney Lynnyesreligion,atheism,children,atheist,prayerMight as well start off my radio show with a BANG!
