  • Do you believe in magic? – Tweet of the day

    This assertion, in my opinion, is pretty self-explanatory. Most people will tell you they don’t believe in magic, but they do believe in god. To them the comparison is “stupid.” Right, because talking animals, wizards, witches, demons, sticks turning into snakes, food falling from the sky, people walking on water, that is not magic.

    ***facepalm***

    The funny thing is I do believe in magic, for I think that magic is just science we haven’t been able to explain yet, but I don’t believe there is a god, nor there ever was a talking snake. I might be wrong, though.

    This tweet got a bajillion of retweets, so I thought I should give it a little space here.

    So, what say you, do you believe in magic?

    (All buttons and links  in the tweets are functional, in case you want to reply, or retweet, or favorite them.)

    This is the original Twitter link.

    Also, it was really cool that PC Siqueira translated it to Portuguese, and apparently it was a hit. Thanks, PC.

  • No religious test

  • Women are inferior NOT

    This is a wonderful illustration of how women are belittled in the Christian doctrine.

    Trapped

    One would think most femmes would rather reject this kind of treatment, and religion altogether, right?  But that’s not what really happens.

    Sad, really.

    Apparently religious women are more afraid of their loving god’s punishment than they are of the way religion values them – a little more worthy than cattle, or  “…you are worth more than many sparrows.” … unless you’re a woman.

    I think these women are drawn to religion because it gives them a false sense of safety in a society that is predatory toward women.

    The deplorable thing is they overlook the fact that it is a self-fulfilling cycle of self-righteous misogyny, for what they probably perceive as immediate benefits.

    “All wickedness is but little to the wickedness of a woman: let the portion of a sinner fall upon her.” Ecclesiasticus 25:19

    “A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.” 1 Cor. 11:7

    “Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner” 1 Peter 3:7

    “As in all the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches.” 1 Cor. 14:34

    “I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man.” 1 Tim. 2:12-14

    “But women will be saved through childbearing.” 1 Tim. 2:15

    “If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off.” 1 Cor. 11:6

    Oh and Leviticus is my absolute my favorite.

    I’m just picking and choosing? Sorry, my bad.
