Religious Ragings: Atheism is... →

Atheism offers nothing to me,
it never has and never will,
it doesn’t make me feel good or comfort me,
it’s not there for me when I’m sick or ill,
it won’t intervene in my times of need or protect me from hate,
it doesn’t care if I fail or…
Ferrari powered quadcycle looks sort of dangerous, badass
The Lazareth Wazuma V8F puts out 250 horsepower in a vehicle that weighs less than a Smart Car, so the performance should be pretty nippy. Of course at around $260,000, you would already have to to be just a little nuts to buy a Lazareth and possibly have enough dough to pay for whatever broken bones you may get.

“For a fact, the Christians stole Christmas. We don’t mind sharing it with them, but we don’t like this pretense of theirs that it is the birthday of Jesus. It is the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun—Dies Natalis Invicti Solis. Christmas is a relic of sun worship.
The customs of this time of year endure because they are pleasant customs. It’s fun to hear from distant family and friends, to gather, to feast, to sing. Gifts, as Robert Ingersoll once said, are evidences of friendship, of remembrance, of love.
The evergreens displayed now as in centuries past flourish when all else seems dead, and are symbols, as is the returning sun, of enduring life.
In celebrating the Winter Solstice, we celebrate reality.”

“Let us toast to animal pleasures, to escapism, to rain on the roof and instant coffee, to unemployment insurance and library cards, to absinthe and good-hearted landlords, to music and warm bodies and contraceptives… and to the “good life”, whatever it is and wherever it happens to be.”
—Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway (1967)
“In the old days, it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it “Christmas” and went to church; the Jews called it “Hanukkah” and went to synagogue; the atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street would say “Merry Christmas!” or “Happy Hanukkah!” or (to the atheists) “Look out for the wall!”
—Dave Barry (via ingegnereastratto)

nonplussedbyreligion: NPR: Writer Christopher Hitchens Dies
December 16, 2011
The influential writer and cultural critic Christopher Hitchens died on Thursday at the age of 62 from complications of cancer of the esophagus. Hitchens confronted his disease in part by writing, bringing the same unsparing insight to his mortality that he had directed…
Fuck.
Just…fuck.

for Christians to stop acting like they’re an underepresented and oppressed minority. When an overwhelming majority of the governing officials in your country share the same set of beliefs as you do you CANNOT and ARE NOT oppressed.
As part of one of the most vilified minorities in the United…

Ever been in that awkward situation at a family or friends house or even at a public event, and you get voluntold to say Grace? Well that happened to me a while ago so I told them “Well I’m actually an atheist, but I’d be more than happy to say a secular grace!” It was kind of impulsive and I had…
