Hypocrites: a poem by AtheismIsGreat.
I walk alone at six forty…three,
How many blackened leaves can you see?
I see seventeen while you see none,
But do you know the sun? Or do you know the Son?
I do have morals, just listen to my speech
But you say ten is the number to reach.
Our humanity is common, although my mind is free,
Does my body belong to me? Or you, or He?
While you smile in your chains, I laugh as I run.
I stand with...
Religious Sex-Toy Sites Vow to Save Marriages →
divineirony:
Sex and religion have long been perceived to be at odds, with carnal pleasures representing sin more than saintliness. Yet in recent years, a handful of savvy Christian, Jewish and Muslim entrepreneurs have embraced the notion that the two can coexist in a way that jibes with doctrine—and even glorifies traditional values by strengthening marriages.
Enter the religious sex-toy...

Fuck.
Oh no. Fuck.
I should probably clarify that I’m upset about the unsafe practices of the doctors and that their medical misconduct will be used as fuel for the pro-life movement. Many women have had safe late term, medically necessary abortions and survived them when they were performed...
Rather than waste money trying to ban abortion,...

Donate to charities that work to eradicate childhood diseases.
Donate to Amnesty International, so they can get innocent people off Death Row.

Up until now, this lady has stayed completely out of any discussion of the atheist/skeptical community and misogyny/sexism.
I didn’t want to get involved. I felt that people wrote enough words, discussing sexism to the point of overwhelming inanity. I stayed out of elevatorgate,...

From Reddit:
It’s a common feature of campus life at my public university to see Bible verses chalked out on the sidewalks. As an atheist, it’s typically something I just ignore. But a couple of days ago one of my friends spotted a particularly offensive verse chalked outside an academic building: “The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God....

I’m 20 years old in 2 days and last year my nanna died, aged 88. As I understand, 19 is quite old to have your first family member die, but it didn’t really affect me as she had been ill for a number of years and was getting old. My granddad served in WWII and has always been one of my favourite family members, he reminds me of a 1950’s film star, like Clark Gable or Cary...

Atheism offers nothing to me,
it never has and never will,
it doesn’t make me feel good or comfort me,
it’s not there for me when I’m sick or ill,
it won’t intervene in my times of need or protect me from hate,
it doesn’t care if I fail or…
The last two lines. So damn true.

Free will isn’t supported by the Bible. Furthermore, if a Christian claims that free will is supported by the Bible, such support would contradict the support for…

I have a very detailed will with strict instructions on how to dispose of my body when I’ve died. I don’t have some morbid fascination with death, but I come from a Fundamentalist Baptist family, and church graveyard burials with crosses and Bible verses on the tombstone are the norm. The…

It’s something I’m sure we’ve all heard. This absurd notion that atheists have no moral compass, or that they have no reason to be good, as they have no one to whom they must answer for their bad deeds. Why is this nonsense allowed to persist? Why is it that so many…

We were up until about 6 am building a Van Der Graaf generator and playing Uncharted, and we started talking about religion. This friend is Christian, but he’s the good kind of Christian. He’s very tolerant and open to discussion. We mainly talked about how much we both hated how many Americans…
