As a devout atheist I would hope not, as it would save that earth the multitude of problems. I only ask because, I would expect there to be fundamentalist Christian groups running around the non-descript southern California town protesting the existence of a god(dess), or avatar thereof, that isn’t the “One True God.”
shareI just watched an episode of "Isis" called "Lucky" about a kid's dog dying. Isis explained the cycle of lfe and god wasn't mentioned or even inferred to...
"I kept it in a cage,
watched it weeping but I made it stay"

Those were the good ol' days when religiosity wasn't on high alert status. But that's because no one was allowed to speak up against it, so there was no need to shove it back down our throats.
:\
Maybe it wasn't on high alert because it wasn't under attack as it is now.
Any why use the forum of an innocent Saturday morning show to make anti-religious comments? Sheeesh....
Uh, sorry to disappoint the bigot who started this thread (his bigotry evident by the fact that he only wants to single out the possible absence of one faith, but where is his equal opportunity hate for Judaism and Islam?), but there is one episode where we see nuns at a school and Andrea Thomas is quite friendly with them. Isis was not meant to be an object of worship and veneration she was simply a superheroine with powers in the tradition of comic book characters. And the closing moral lessons she would give were the kind of lessons you could hear in any school or church of the day since in those days, there wasn't an obsession with sex as the only things children should be taught.
shareI don't even know why the call themselves atheists in the first place. It should be changed to christian haters, anti - christian, or something like that because you never hear them say or write anything negative about any other religion.

It is cowardice on their part.
With the teachings of Islam, slowly & silently creeping into schools across the country, I don't hear any of them complaining about that.
Because Christianity is the majority religion in America.
sharedoesn't mean a thing. atheists should be against all religions equally.
shareEqually? Well, no Jews, Muslims, Buddhists or Sikhs have come to my door trying to convert me. None of the above have told my son he's going to hell because he wasn't baptized. None of the above have told me I'm going to hell because I have denied the Holy Spirit. None of the above have handed me their holy books as I entered my public college. None of the above drove a car into the front of a mosque in my hometown after 9/11.
Shall I go on?
And no "Christian" drove a car into the front of a mosque either. OTOH, I can name plenty of occasions of Christians being singled out for persecution and terror because of their faith, whether in the acts of violence committed in the Sudan, Iran and elsewhere or in this country where to be true to one's Christian faith means some secularist bigot organization will try to sue you for the commission of a "hate crime". Shall I go on in terms of those examples?
And don't tell me with a straight face that Muslims don't try to convert people.
To bring this back to the original point, drawing from ancient mythology as a McGuffin device for a superheroine was in more respects, nothing more than a convenient budget saver, because having a heroine with the power to control elements meant you only had to use the cheapest of F/X gimmicks to show her defeating the bad guys.
Violence is a way in which Muslims convert.
shareChristians have:
*Blown up a church in which four black children were in due to wanting revenge for civil right pressures (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_Baptist_Church_bombing)
*Blown up a government building because the federal American government was 'the number of the beast' or some such bullcaca (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_McVeigh)
*Have done a lot of terrorism in many countries around the world, most of it anti-gay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_terrorism#Contemporary)
Now, what was that about Christian not being terrorists again, you bigoted moron?
Yes, equally if you're an atheist. And you have the right not to listen and believe what the Christians tell you. Whereas the Muslims force their beliefs on people.
A Christian hand a religious pamphlet to you while you attend college. Lol, don't tell me that bothered you. At least, they don't chop of your head like Muslims do.
None of the above drove a car into the front of a mosque in my hometown after 9/11.
Huh? What are you trying to say here?
Err well, muslims do threaten with hellfire to "non-believers".
And last time I looked christians didn't fly a plane into a skyscraper murdering thousands or rape little children either.
Andrea Thomas was endowed by The Goddess Isis with Her special powers. She was a direct descendant of Pharaoh Hapshepsut. Therefore, this series has roots in Paganism. Which is a growing religion across the globe.
It used ancient Egyptian religion as a McGuffin device to give us a superheroine figure. The idea that the series was meant to be an indoctrination tool for kids to take seriously the reality of ancient Egyptian religion is a silly argument whether it comes from the overly paranoid or the ones who like to read too much into what was just fun Saturday morning entertainment.
shareSorry, but I have to ask, what is a devout atheist?
