  • Happy Hug An Atheist Day!

    It’s the fourth anniversary of Hug An Atheist Day, so this is just a reminder:

    It doesn’t matter what your worldview is, practice a little tolerance. Find your nearest Atheist, Absurdist, Agnostic, Anti-Religionist, Antitheist, Apatheist, Deist, Dystheist, Existentialist, Freethinker, Gropaga, Ignostic, Mahayana, Marxist, Misotheist, Naturalistic Pantheist, Nihilist, Nontheist, Pastafarian, Secular Humanist, Skeptic, Spagnostic, Structuralist, Buddhist, Zenbuddhist, or anyone else who doubts the existence of a god, and  & give him/her the biggest hug ever!

    Soooo, to you, dear reader who favor me with your visit, consider yourself warmly hugged.

    My super-special-huge-atheistic-hug is for my fiancé Joshua McGee. I love you, Joshie. ♥

  • Terry Goodkind — quote on Faith

    Faith is a device of self-delusion, a sleight of hand done with words and emotions founded on any irrational notion that can be dreamed up. Faith is the attempt to coerce truth to surrender to whim. In simple terms, it is trying to breath life into a lie by trying to outshine reality with the beauty of wishes. Faith is the refuge of fools, the ignorant, and the deluded, not of thinking, rational men.

    Terry Goodkind, “Chainfire” Chapt 48, pg 489

  • god works in mysterious ways – Tweet of The Day

    (Want to favorite it, retweet it? Here’s the original Twitter link.)

    Right, because the only explanation is “god did it”, and when god’s motives seem fishy, it must be god’s “mysterious ways”.  *facepalm*

    You say “god works in mysterious ways,” what I hear is “god works in ways mysteriously similar to random probability.” @Monicks
