“I used to mean something to you, but now I’m tired and alone.”

I kill myself sometimes.
Skype conversation...
Friend: My internet's shit
Me: Who are you with?
Friend: Virgin
Me: No need for that, I was only asking.
Friend: [no answer]
Arguing with a Christian is like playing chess with a pigeon. You could be the greatest player in the world, but the pigeon will still knock over all the pieces, shit on the board and strut around triumphantly.

A Little Rant For You
Somebody reblogged the ragecomic I posted and said “Could everyone stop putting down people’s religion? It’s really fucking annoying like holy shit some of us aren’t extremists and try and tell you why your belief is stupid!!”
This pisses me off. The whole point in that comic is to show that human beings, over time, have always managed to believe in something so illogical, so...

Wow.
The ragecomic I posted has now received over 6,000 notes. This is incredible. Guys, if you ever feel alone in your non-beliefs, realise there are at least 6,101 similar people (and counting).

From Faith to Atheist - How It Happened
This story was posted on The Thinking Atheist’s Facebook page today. Antonio explains how he was ‘converted’ to freethinking through a family tragedy.
“I was brought up in the casual religious fashion of the middle classes where I live. When I got to university, I became involved with the Christian Union for the girls (best decision of my life, trust me). I maintained...

High School Girl Makes Massive Cancer Tech... →
thepete:
I spotted this story on Engadget back in December (original here: www.engadget.com/2011/12/08/high-school-senior-kills-canc… ) but have intentionally been sitting on it to see if the mainstream news would run with the story or just continue covering the same old Santorum (I’m not just referring to the Republican). Typically, this amazing breakthrough (“the Swiss Army Knife” of cancer...
My dashboard just exploded.
And keeping in reference to that last ragecomic I posted, it is not mocking religion. It is pointing out how odd it is that some long-winded, hard-to-believe statements are easily believed by people in society, yet something that is cautiously studied and researched is ignored by those same people.
So…calm down, if you’re one of the people reblogging it, whining “I wish people...

Good News!
Remember my recent post about the Creation Museum being top of a list for places to take kids under 15 in the USA? Well the ‘museum’ has been bumped down to #4! That’s still sucky, but it shows that the good, intelligent people of the world are winning their fight against bullshit.
Keep going, guys! You can vote every day! Go forth and save science!
Gay Marriage
If you don’t like it/agree with it, don’t have one. But don’t stop other people having them, especially when it doesn’t even affect you.
Same goes for abortion. Don’t like it? Don’t have one. What someone else does with their body does not affect you.
Taxes. Education. Healthcare. Employment. These are the things that affect you and your future generations.

RIP Science
Go take a look at this website: http://www.budgettravel.com/contest/nominate-15-places-kids-should-see-before-15,10/
Budget Travel wants you to nominate 15 places in America that kids must visit. These include historical sites, monuments, national parks, etc. What’s currently number one with an incredibly overwhelming 698 votes? The Creation Museum in Kentucky.
In contrast, NASA has 96...

One of my pet peeves, one of the most overused phrases in the English language.
R.I.P.
It’s supposed to be poignant. I think it’s partly down to my atheism, that I don’t believe that people are resting anywhere at all once they’ve gone, that it bugs me so.
Rest In Peace.
It doesn’t even sound nice. It doesn’t even look nice. And when people constantly post...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music’s queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.
Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that...
