My grandma is already trying to teach my two year old cousin to follow Christianity. And when I told her that he should be allowed to choose his own religion she got pretty pissed and said I was trying to force everyone to be an atheist.

On a side note, I thought it was Monday.

So, not forcing him to be a Christian is forcing him to be an atheist. It’s disturbing how many Christians actually see the world in this ignorant black-and-white way.

Persecution

musicandgod:

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (NIV 1 Corinthians 1:18) We see what this verse tells us everyday. People look at us as foolish, even though they are perishing.

Well, this amounts to nothing more than name calling. Real mature for the supposed divine creator.

thegrimadventuresofme:

My dad has attributed my better grades this semester to his praying multiple times. 

No. I did well because I fucking tried harder, not because you prayed to your false god.

Great job on both your grades and your ability to see past superstition!

Our Purpose Part II

musicandgod:

Some people

Who you calling “some people?”

reblogged my original Purpose post. They didn’t understand obviously because they said, “What if that child cures cancer.” What purpose is there in curing cancer if we all die anyway and there is no God?

People wouldn’t have to have cancer. They could enjoy a cancer-free life with their loved ones before they die anyway and there is no god.

There is no point in saving lives if their is no God.

*there

And yes there is. Living is fun and I want to live. Life is where all the best stuff happens. Have you heard the albums Jimi Hendrix recorded after he died? They’re terrible! He clearly was at his creative peak between the time he was born and the time he died. Why isn’t enjoying life and wanting to prolong it enough? Why do I need to follow it up with some magical trip to never never land?

You live and you die in a world with no God.

Yeah! That’s what I’m saying, and it’s OK.

A world with God you are dead, born again, and then given an eternal life.

Depending on which particular god myth you believe for no good reason because there’s no evidence for it. Your desire to live forever can’t make it so.

Also we don’t have our children glorify us because we are not perfect and technically we indirectly made them if God exists.

Nah, son, children are made using your junk. It involves a lot of stickiness. Also, you missed the point of my analogy. Why would a god need constant praise, why would that be something that a god would desire? He’s already a god, he’s got limitless powers. He could play any Super Nintendo game he wants and his console never farts out, no matter how old it is. He never even has to blow on the game. Why would he have needs or desires at all? If you were the most powerful entity in any dimension, how could you want for anything?

God is perfect though and he formed us and gave us our life. Why would we not praise his gracious name?

If he was perfect and he created us, you’d think he’d have gotten a better result.

Everything conservatives say about Benghazi is wrong

and it’s all just an attempt to pre-smear Hillary Clinton and it won’t work.

s4cministries:

If Jesus is just a man then why is everyone taking His name out? Why does everyone use His name as a curse word?  Hmmmm  Do you think that maybe it is because He is MORE than a man?

If fuckadiddledoo is just a silly portmanteau then why is everyone taking its name out? Why does everyone use fuckadiddledoo as a curse word? Hmmmm  Do you think that maybe it is because fuckadiddledoo is more than a portmanteau?

a co-worker actually just referred to Jon Stewart as Jon Daily

I did not correct him.

Our Purpose

musicandgod:

If there is no God, then what is our purpose?

Whatever we want it to be? To Love and be loved in return? To be excellent to one another?

There is no purpose without God.

Yes there is. See? I can just make broad sweeping assertions too.

You might say to reproduce,

Or I might say to watch TV all day, what do you care?

but what purpose does that serve other than to make more purposeless children?

Maybe one of those children will cure cancer? Maybe one of them will find a way to teach all men the perfect cunnilingus routine? Maybe one of them will make one single other person happy? Why isn’t that enough?

Without God we are nothing and nothing matters.

Really? Because I don’t believe in god and I think a whole lot of things matter. POINT DISPROVEN, FARTFACE!

Why should we continue on our lives if there is no God?

Because all the best things happen to living people.

So we see that God is the only way to have purpose.

No, restating your point like nine different ways doesn’t help me to see your point any better. I know you think it works because the religious scam center you attend uses this technique on you, but here in the real world, we use supporting evidence for our claims.

He is our purpose and gave us a purpose. To glorify him is our purpose.

So, if a god did exist, which I have no reason to think one does, why would you think that he would have a purpose for people and why do you think that purpose would be something as egotistical and mundane as ‘to glorify him?’ You know how fucked up that sounds? That’s like saying ‘I had children so that they would glorify me.’ or ‘I planted this fucking garden so the tomatoes would sing my fucking praises.’ What kind of asshole would do something like that? I’ll tell you what, if there is a god and all he wants is endless praise from everybody he can suck my left one.

As an Agnostic. Atheists cannot disprove God, neither can they deny that he exists scientifically speaking. Agnostics are the only real science thinking people without bias.

Wrong, people claiming to be agnostic are atheists too because atheists are people who do not believe a god exists, not simply people who believe no god exists. Learn the difference, stop misrepresenting views you don’t understand.
