Atheist woman charged with simulating sex act
http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/sp ... h_sim.html

The Atheists of Florida’s legal coordinator, Ellenbeth Wachs, was charged Sunday with simulating a sex act in the presence of a 10-year-old boy. She is accused of making extremely loud noises from inside her home, pretending as if she were having sex while neighbors overheard, reports The Ledger in Lakeland.

The reason the 48-year-old Lakeland woman did this?

She wanted to stop the neighbor's son from playing basketball, according to the affidavit.

FloriDUH Headquarter's burning question: Do Atheists ever gasp ‘Oh God!’ during sex?

FloriDUH Headquarter's burning question: Do Atheists ever gasp ‘Oh God!’ during sex?

burning question:
Do self righteous idiots have nothing better to do than file frivolous suites to harass people rather than settle matter civilly between themselves. Your tax dollars being wasted.

 

[cecilia]

so, she was INSIDE her own home???
Inside HER home, making noises?

yeah, that sounds evil :roll: :roll:

if he was close enough to hear her, he was trespassing

The Burning Question is what does the woman's profession have to do with anything? Well other than the opportunity to make a bad joke.

Of course she's eeeeevil - she's one of them evil atheists!

So, this doesn't bother you?

She wanted to stop the neighbor's son from playing basketball, according to the affidavit.

I guess you'd have to be a parent to see what is wrong with this in reference to a 10 year old.

I would say what she did was stupid. What I wanna know is why it's important to mention that she's atheist? It's totally not relevant to the case and yet it's the main part of the headline. Whyzzat?

Why can't the kid just stop with the hoops?

But I'll tell you what bothers me ...

What if she actually WAS having loud sex? That illegal where you are? Or what if she was having a seizure and someone just thought it was loud sex. Would that be worth taking to court? Even if the affidavit is true it's still a waste of the court's time and your money.

Some people are just litigious and venal by nature. Taking people to court over stuff like this is just a dick thing to do.

What would bother me if I didn't find it so sily is why you deem it necessary to even mention, let alone highlight that she's atheist, as though it has any relevance whatsoever.

The implication seems to be that because she is atheist, she is therefore somehow perverted.

If so, it's almost as pathetic as it is absurd. If not, why mention it.

I'm guessing she's not a Democrat or that would be the second word of the title. ;-)

She is not just atheist, she is The Atheists of Florida’s legal coordinator. FloriDUH likes pointing out weird stories and this qualifies. She is in a position of authority in an organized religion, no different than a nun or priest. Before you say Atheist is not a religion, think why there needs to be a The Atheists of Florida’s organization in the first place. I'm agnostic, but I don't belong to any organization for agnostics.

The point seems to be she admitted to doing this with the intention of having the 10 year old hear it. I would have to assume this means she opened her window on the side of the house near the kid and yelled out the window. I seriously doubt she was in back room pleasuring her self based on the story and her admission. I would also like to believe the police agency involved would have used common sense.

I think you guys are just reading too much into this.

How is this different than pointing out when a priest or nun does something deviant? Religion is religion.

BTW, I didn't write the article. I just posted here based on the silliness.

You guys seem to be ultra-sensitive to mentioning an atheist doing something wrong. The fact she was atheist was not what they keyed on, she is the Atheists of Florida’s legal coordinator, a person of authority. If the VP of the local Pepsi bottler did this, his/her position would get a mention.

Actually, the headline reads "Atheist woman charged with simulating sex act", it does not mention her position. To use an analogy based on your example, that is somewhat comparable to publishing an article about the VP of the local Pepsi bottler and using the headline "Pepsi drinker charged with simulating sex act".

Even though the headline may be factually correct considering the person´s position, it just seems inappropiate and questionable to highlight a tiny irrelevant detail such as the fact that someone might like to drink Pepsi by including it as part of an article´s headline.

Does the existence of a homeowners association make homeownership a religion too? What about the ironworkers' union; is ironworking a religion?

I'm guessing the Homeowners Association is closer to a religion. They setup rules which you have to follow. If you don't live your life by their rules you get punished. And if you break enough rules you're expelled from the club. Sounds like an organized religion to me.

While I understand your point, homeowners associations aren't founded based on a god or lack of, neither is ironworking. The sole purpose I can see for an atheist association is to promote the idea there is no god. That makes it religious in nature.

Good point.

Explain to me again how my lack of belief in obvious nonsense equals religion?

Then you're not looking very closely.

That makes it religious in nature.

Moot point but even if you're strawman point above was valid, that wouldn't necessarily make it religious.
