Oh my spaghetti monster
"Just to be clear, I'm not a professional 'quote maker'. I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
'In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.'"
Mom shut the fuck UP I’m not going to Gramma’s funeral in a fake ass church
South Park and Louis C.K. apparently the authoritative sources on social responsibility.
Torture is totally acceptable to protect us against radical religious extremists anyway religion is violent and oppressive.
We should nuke Mecca. I want to kill all sandremoved. We should free Muslim women as well as kill them. The Arab mind is incapable of creative thought, it sees the world only in terms of violence. All religions are equally bad but Islam more equally bad.
Christopher Hitchens is such a good writer.
it's amazing that his brother manages to be worse
truly cursed seed
Isn’t it funny how you could brag about not getting your morality from desert nomad people and then end up just as stupid and bigoted as them?
end up just as stupid and bigoted as them?
So who is bigoted here? The imaginary desert nomad people in the new-athiests' head? Or the actual people?
Because one of those is a pretty shitty thing to say.
I got in when it was still ok-ish, with libs and succdems like PZ Meyers stopping the worst of it. But man it went down fast after 2005 or so.
I've moved back towards an accommodation with theists, partially because I began to realise that the terms Theologians use to describe their arguments bear as much relation to their common use as quantum physics terms like spin do to a macro scale spinning object.
The cashier at the supermarket wished me a Merry Christmas but I flipped her the double bird and told that bitch to fuck off
"Touched by his noodly appendage" & "Pastafarians" are two phrases that should make anyone from that time who unironically used them cringe into tiny little black holes.
My brother is a pastafarian atheist and I’m trying to keep my nephews from listening to his dumb ass

I've been an atheist since I was about 8 or 9 (I'm in my 40s) and I recognized that the edgelord fucks in the nu atheist movement were trouble when they started (to be fair, I didn't recognize where they were headed in the long run).
sadly there was only ever one episode of these...
edit: a real god would have blessed the project and seen it to completion
I really enjoyed your talk and was wondering if you might be down for some coffee later.
1. be attractive
2. don't be unattractivehello incels this is now a struggle session :eyes:
An online community cannot encounter the coffee invitation without irrevocably schisming.
"You're god is dead and no one cares if there is a hell i'll see you there."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
I was raised in one of those fundamentalist suburban enclaves, and remember bringing a Nietzsche book into my Presbyterian church (that turned out to actually just be a tax haven for rich white assholes in my town) and pulling it out whenever the Hymnals started.

Weird how that mechanism is not more widely used/known.
It's widely used alright lol, they cycled through 3 pastors before they found the Ted Cruz looking mother fucker that didn't try to raise a stink.
That one just serviced like 3 or 4 big fish with a lot of other smaller ones just kinda feeding off it. Big one was Deacons writing checks then taking cash out of the collection trays.
I knew shit was weird when the pastor got a $50k raise and they spent $250k on a "new sound system" that never got installed.
That's why he won't leave office peacefully and will kill us all in a nuclear war!
Oh please like I’m going to have my morals dictated to me by an invisible man in the sky
"you can't prove a negative! the burden of proof is on you to show god exists."
If there is a God who will damn his children forever, I would rather go to hell than to go to heaven and keep the society of such an infamous tyrant. I make my choice now. I despise that doctrine. It has covered the cheeks of this world with tears. It has polluted the hearts of children, and poisoned the imaginations of men. It has been a constant pain, a perpetual terror to every good man and woman and child. It has filled the good with horror and with fear; but it has had no effect upon the infamous and base. It has wrung the hearts of the tender, it has furrowed the cheeks of the good. This doctrine never should be preached again. What right have you, sir, Mr. clergyman, you, minister of the gospel to stand at the portals of the tomb, at the vestibule of eternity, and fill the future with horror and with fear? I do not believe this doctrine, neither do you. If you did, you could not sleep one moment. Any man who believes it, and has within his breast a decent, throbbing heart, will go insane. A man who believes that doctrine and does not go insane has the heart of a snake and the conscience of a hyena. --- Robert G. Ingersol
