I think it’s weird how there’s a double standard when it comes to atheists. So if i tell a religious person that i’m atheist, they’ll start interrogating me about my life. They would just assume that my atheism is because of some trauma that happened to me.
And then they would assume that atheists know everything about the universe. They would show you a phenomenon or whatever and tell you to explain it. And if you don’t know, they’ll think it’s a “gotcha” moment. Yet they allow it when people who identify with their religion barely know anything about it.
Like you can’t expect an atheist to debate with you anytime. We’re not omnipotent. We don’t know every single thing about the world, just like they don’t know every single thing about their religion. They’re holding us on a higher standard. And the reason is obvious.
Don’t let them make you feel guilty.
I cannot believe in the year 2024 popular media sites are still referring to child sex trafficking victims as “sex workers”
when I was very young my mother told me “they’re going to try and teach you that we came from monkeys but that’s not true and you shouldn’t listen to them because we were made from god” and she was my mom and I was like 7, so I pretty much just went “okay, noted, anyway”
anyway like 2 years later evolution comes up in class and one of my classmates goes “is this the we evolved from monkeys thing?”
and I’m on Red Alert. this is what my mom told me about!
the teacher replies, “well, we share a common ancestor, but we didn’t evolve directly from apes. if you go back way before apes or people existed, you’ll find a different third thing we both came from. we know this because of things like fossils”
and I was like whoo! dodged a bullet there, good thing my 4th grade science class isn’t trying to teach us we came from monkeys and instead figured stuff out using fossils and taught us that instead :)
Instructions Unclear, Ended Up Believing In Evolution Anyway
frequently thinking about how god decided off the cuff that people should all speak different languages and therefore become divided culturally and interpersonally because if we managed to successfully organize and work together we would eventually reach and defeat him. OG fascist.
humankind created god, not the other way around
you are god
I don't really do breakup songs since I'm aspec and don't really get it, but "Somebody That I Used To Know" from an ex cult perspective hits so hard oh my god
France did a review on the pornography industry and revealed that 90% out of millions of videos watched contained violence against women and misogyny.
Yes, the mythology fandom won’t wish death or eternal torture upon someone because of their mythology, unlike christians.
It's a lot easier to deal with Christians around Christmas when you start thinking about the religion as mythology.
Treat the stories the same way we treat Greek or Roman mythology.
Christians are just all part of the Jesus fandom.
