Happy Holidays
“Happy Holidays” is no more an attack on Christmas than saying “humankind” instead of “mankind” is an attack on men.

TIL jesus is more understanding of rape if a women is wearing anything but a bag.
I will agree that men sometimes cannot help how they respond physiologically to the sight of a beautiful woman, and that sometimes they can’t help but lust after her.
But there is a BIG fucking difference between lusting after a woman and physically getting up, chasing her, containing her terrified body, and sexually assaulting her.
I go to a food court and I see an irresistible piece of pizza behind a glass case. The courts will not take the pizza’s tempting value into account if I punch out the food vendors, break the glass, and steal the pizza.
This is criminally unjust and obviously stupid with the case with a simple piece of pizza. With an actual living, breathing human being it is almost infinitely worse.
How people can blame the woman in the case of rape is far, far beyond me.

*This*. Just because you wish to do something does not mean you can or should. And for the record and as a rape victim, what you are or are not wearing has little to do with it. I was wearing jeans and a baggy tee-shirt. I did nothing to entice the shitbags who attacked me. I merely chatted. Just like everyone else around me had done. People like “Yeshua is Lord” make me sick.
I don’t understand why she has to explain that she’s Christian twice.
ROFLMAO! This could be a personal ad for someone stalkery and harassy :D
The Godless Generation: Of God and Bugs
Imagine Mr. Smith is in his yard and overhears two small bugs having a discussion as to the existence of Mr. Smith. One bug has the gaul to swear upon the honor of all bugs that he had examined the question of Mr. Smith’s existence to the best of his ability and had come to the conclusion that no man by the name of Mr. Smith had ever lived.
Now imagine Mr. Smith flying into a fit of rage, crushing the atheist bug beneath his shoe and screaming, “I will teach you, blasphemous wretch, that Mr. Smith is a diabolical fact!”
What then are we supposed to think of a God who opens the artillery of heaven upon one of his own children for simply expressing an honest thought?
- adapted from R.G. IngersollOr more specifically, imagine Mr. Smith picking up the bug, tearing off it’s legs, and torturing for the rest of it’s existence simply because the bug dared to doubt, and then saying that it was the bug’s choice to receive this kind of punishment.
If I were Mr. Smith, I’d just bend down, pick up both bugs, put my face to theirs, say, “Hello, there,” smile, put the bugs down on a nice juicy flower or something, and then go on my way.
Either that, or I’d capture them and take them to a university to study them, screaming, “HEY! TALKING BUGS!”
I’m thinking the later!
Atheists read the Bible differently than they read any other book. When a Bible sits open before them, they forget all grammatical constructs like metaphor, idiom, hyperbole, similes, and personification. They become temporarily incapable of comprehending the difference between imperative and narrative statements. They ignore context in every form: textual, cultural, and historical.
This dysfunction of the atheist’s mental capabilities is completely intentional. Subconsciously, and maybe even consciously, the atheist knows that if he or she reads the Bible the same as any other book, it would not only challenge the atheist’s deeply held beliefs, but it would demand an investigation into its claims. Most atheists are terrified at the prospect of discovering that what the Bible says might actually be true.
This is a fundamental difference between Christians and atheists. Christians are not afraid to research and try to dig into the very core of the atheists’ beliefs. But most atheists are terrified of giving the Holy Scriptures the same treatment.

Now this is some comedy gold.

Someone sat down and seriously wrote this? I mean, their intention was to be serious? As a former Christian and now free-thinking, skeptical atheist, I most certainly research *everything* written in the Bible. And I have come to the conclusion that it is the most contradictory, error-riddled, fictitious pile of rubbish I have ever had the misfortune of having to read several dozen times as a “child of God” while growing up.
Blake's Super Fun Time God Eat God Corner!: Fuck You, Atheism. Fuck. You.
“The WTC (World Trade Center) cross has become a Christian icon. It has been blessed by so-called Holy Men and presented as a reminder that their God, who couldn’t be bothered to stop the Muslim terrorists or prevent 3000 people from being killed in his name, cared only enough to bestow upon us…
If you took the time to actually learn what American Atheists are arguing about, you wouldn’t look like such a goddamned imbecile. Let me spell it out for you:
The cross is supposed to memorialize those who died, but it effectively only recognizes the sacrifices of Christians. It implies that those who suffered and died on 9/11 were universally Christian, and that the attack was on Christianity. The memorial excludes every other religion, worldview, or system of beliefs, and the suit by the American Atheists is because it’s a blatant exercise in favoring one religion over all others at the taxpayers’ expense.
If they added a symbol for the Jews, Muslims, atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, etc, it wouldn’t be an issue, nor would it be if they excluded all religious imagery. As it stands, the message the cross sends is “Christians died here.” The message it needs to send is “Americans died here.”
I’ve stated this over and again. Some are just destined to stick their fingers in their ears screaming “lalalala!” as loud as they can.

The Atheist That Hates: Things I've learned from Twitter and #atheist
- People are way too amused by the idea of an Atheist named Christian.
- People don’t understand that Atheists are not devil worshippers/Satan/demons.
- People like to talk about Tyler the Creator a lot (rapper) simply because he’s Atheist.
- People often have to express shock and disbelief at…
I still frequent Twitter. I just don’t read it as much as I used to (at least the #atheist and #atheism timelines).
Um, yeah. How does this work again? Thought it was “God’s” breath and dirt ;)
