  • Atheist Sunday School – The Historical Jesus

    Atheist Sunday School – The Historical Jesus

    Today, like many other Sundays, we had Sunday School on Twitter.  Since the topic was a bit long, a few of my friends suggested that I should preserve today’s stream of tweets for further reference. In fact, their suggestion was rather that I wrote these as a blog post, but my laziness knows no boundaries. My apologies.

    So, to make it less embarrassing, let’s say that this is a raw draft of a future post; also, please consider that we have yet some facts that we need to review in our next Twitter Atheist Sunday School.

    This is a fascinating story. In my opinion, everyone should have access to learn about these facts.

    This is how we make atheists. 😉

    Update:

    So, what’s your conclusion? (◕‿~)✿

  • The true value of a man…

    “The true value of a man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get the Truth. It is not possession of the Truth, but rather the pursuit of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent, and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in His right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with a proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.”

    –Gotthold Lessing, Anti-Gokz.E (1778)

    My God Lyrics:
    People on the street they wannna find a god they’ll never know,
    Organized religion pulls the blinds then they pull the wool,
    They open up your head, they’re fuckin’ with your mind,
    Now you can’t see because you’re blind
    You try to make amends but your heads still spinnin’ round,
    The church of Jesus Christ said it’s time, don’t fuck around,
    You wanna go to heaven, you see it isn’t free, give your money up to me
    My god is not the one that you wanna see, your god is a mirage,
    A conspiracy, you pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’, yeah

    Holier than thou with your one way morality,
    I think your shallow faith isn’t based in reality,
    You don’t like how were live, we’re sinful and obscene,
    Why are you judgin’ me?
    You’re richer than God but you’re cryin’ out for more,
    You’re livin’ like a king while you steal from the poor,
    Wanna be forgiven, get on your knees and pray,
    Send in your cash and be saved

    My god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, better hope you’ve been chosen to be saved

    Cause your empathy only goes so far today
    Pay no mind to those in pain if you just want the souls
    Who are willing to pay
    Their way, your god’s not for me

    My god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, my god is not the one that you wanna see,
    Your god is a mirage, a conspiracy,
    You pray for forgiveness cause your sinnin’,
    Scared to death so your money you’ll be givin’,
    Yeah, stop
