Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled…

nonplussedbyreligion:
This is an excerpt from Al Stefanelli’s book A Voice Of Reason In An Unreasonable World - The Rise Of Atheism On Planet Earth, and his blog post for the day. After last night when we had a Christian pretending to be an apologists and explaining in the most disgusting of way why bad things…

christiantheatheist:
I find the entire story of lent ridiculous. It starts with the son of God, who is capable of making food out of nothing and raising from the dead, going into the desert for some length of time (40 days is potentially a mistranslation). I mean, if he’s capable of anything, than he’s capable of not…

TeachThemHowToThink: A useful analogy. →
theilluminatedatheist:
I think about religion the same way I think about cigarettes.
I don’t smoke, and I don’t have a problem with people smoking around me, although sometimes it’ll be a bit much and I’ll either ask them to keep their distance or I’ll distance myself.
I feel like the…

Atheism Shit That Blows: *Ahem* →
atheism-shitthatblows:
I don’t usually do things like this, but I feel like, due to the content of this blog, I need to say a few things.
Lately, I’ve been seeing things pop up on Tumblr about how atheists need to shut up about the discrimination they face. People bring up that atheists do not face the same level…
Clapping. (:

I love babies.
I used to think that mattered in the abortion debate. But it doesn’t.
I believed there was no such thing as an “unwanted” child.

This is literally perfect. Why can’t I express myself this eloquently?
I'm terrified to live in this country much longer
bacon-beer-and-boobs:
Given the all the recent news that jeopardize women’s health and rights, I am frightened of what is to come.
I agree. I’m going to be following the elections for the first time in my life (since I recently started actually CARING about politics) and I will be so upset if someone terrible wins. It’s already bad enough.

Any time you feel the need to appropriate such an enormous atrocity as the Holocaust, or the struggle of and horrors committed against marginalized people, as in the history of American slavery, step the fuck back and take a long,...

stfuhypocrisy:
While we’re on the subject of violent, egotistical women-beaters, apparently Chris Brown wasn’t too thrilled yesterday when MediaTakeout.com posted two new photos from the night he beat Rihanna senseless. Fortunately he knows who the real culprit is and took to Twitter to tell everybody until his publicist shat a canary and yanked it down. Via ONTD:
