atheists

What the hell is wrong with some atheists?

angry_woman Several years ago I used to participate in a few forums by atheists and allegedly for atheists.  I don’t do that anymore.  In fact, I kind of dislike them now and can’t spend more than a few minutes at a time on them.

Why?

The rape discussions started by theist men.

How many times do I, a woman and mother to a daughter, have to read a “sincere” post allegedly about objective morality where the curious theist always ask why he should refrain from raping women and girls, the latter of which he routinely disguises as “children”?

I know the majority of atheists are men, but unless you grew on a fucking tree somewhere you have a mother and Mr. Theist wants you to tell him why raping your mother is wrong. Hell, some of you even have daughters.  Why in hell do you not consider having someone demand that you explain to him in objective terms (wouldn’t want to be called ‘sensitive’ now, would we?) why he shouldn’t rape her to be deeply disturbing and unacceptable???

And it’s not like these boards allow “sincere” discussions about specific crimes against other marginalized groups.  I’ve tried posting such questions on the boards that allow discussions about the rape of women and girls.  Not a one has went through unless you count being banned without comment as getting through.

So, what the fuck gives?  Why is it okay to have “sincere” moral discussions about the rape of women and girls, but the height of impropriety to talk about committing violent crimes against non-women (aka: men)?

It makes me just want to start punching shit.

No need to pray sayeth Reverend Ray

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times – if you but prayed to God you’d find out that God was real and wouldn’t be the disgusting atheist that you are.

Well, it looks like the game has changed.  Atheists no longer need to pray.  Just ask Ray Comfort who apparently accidentally deleted yet another post titled “Good News”.   Atheists do not have to pray anymore.  In fact, an atheist who prays is doing little more than wasting their time.

Thus typed the Right Reverend Ray (JPEG of Google Alert):

Atheists–there’s no point in you praying though. God says that He will not hear you, because of your sin and your proud heart. He resists the proud, and gives grace to the humble.

We atheists generally being of no conviction that the entire universe was created to amuse us and also generally snorting at the idea that it’s alleged creator would commit [temporary] suicide over us are, by default, “proud” and incapable of being “humble”.

So, the next time some silly Christian tells ya to pray to God, tell ‘em the Right Reverend Ray said God was on a smoke break – permanently.

It’s 2PM, wave goodbye to the Democratic Party

goodbye

Well, folks it’s official.  The Democratic party has kicked off it’s week long celebration of the diversity within the Democratic party with an event that explicitly shuts out any Democrat or democratically inclined person that doesn’t believe in some kind of god.

Be nice.  Smile as you wave goodbye.  It’s the atheist thing to do.

Quote of the Day: Robert Ingersoll

While stumbling around the internet this morning I found a quote attributed to Robert Ingersoll that I thought I’d share:

“If abuses are destroyed, man must destroy them. If slaves are freed, man must free them. If new truths are discovered, man must discover them. If the naked are clothed; if the hungry are fed; if justice is done; if labor is rewarded; if superstition is driven from the mind; if the defenseless are protected and if the right finally triumphs, all must be the work of man. The grand victories of the future must be won by man, and by man alone.”

No matter what the various special friends of invisible men may say, it will always be up to us – humanity – to do right by one another.
