  • Without god — Tweet of The Day

    Only a handful of people –my friends– know that the majority of my analogy-tweets stem from some crazy comment by any of my mostly Christian friends and family.

    This time it was my cousin who said to me that my life was surely gloomy and empty because god … was everything.

    **facepalm**

    god is everything? What does that even mean?

    Want to favorite it or retweet it? Here’s the Twitter link.

    How can god be ‘everything’ and not be perceptible in any way, let alone demonstrable! But that’s material for another tweet post.

    Please, don’t miss the point, technically a glass that is full of air isn’t empty, but by definition it is, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to pour anything into it.

    Think differently? Let us know in the comments. (◕‿~)✿

  • Francis Crick – Quote

    “I realized early on that it is detailed scientific knowledge which makes certain religious beliefs untenable. A knowledge of the true age of the earth and of the fossil record makes it impossible for any balanced intellect to believe in the literal truth of every part of the Bible in the way that fundamentalists do. And if some of the Bible is manifestly wrong, why should any of the rest of it be accepted automatically? … What could be more foolish than to base one’s entire view of life on ideas that, however plausible at the time, now appear to be quite erroneous? And what would be more important than to find our true place in the universe by removing one by one these unfortunate vestiges of earlier beliefs?”
