My "modern atheist" bingo card is almost filled. I am looking for a LARD reference. A LARD reference...? Anyone? Come on guys.... "Can God Fill ____?"

It's National Ask An Atheist Day, so you can ask me, an atheist, something and I will answer it. If that is the sort of thing you think you would be interested in.

I am very tired so I am sleeping early tonight, but have a music post first I'm less interested in technical death metal with every passing year, but when tech death is focused on what matters - riffs - I can't help but love it. Martyr's second album is about as good as it gets

I thought perhaps I had my last ounce of embarrassment for my nation burned from me when Trump was re-elected. I was, I fear, mistaken. (To be differentiated from shame, which continues flowing like the Mississippi.)

Fun. I have some game on my little tablet thing. It has adds. OK. It was free, so OK. Lately I get these neat, ten second adds. Nice. A few times in a row. Nice. Then back to thirty second ads. Ad guys: if I ever buy anything connected to a 11+ second ad, it is by accident. Fuck you. Fuck. You.

NEWS FLASH! Atheists DO NOT worship any being alive or dead. We DO NOT look to the atheism of others to inform or confirm our own non-belief. We may read books and watch videos of others that share our disbelief BUT we do not 'follow' them or place them in a position of

I don’t think the US is actually a safe enough environment to bring any world scriptures into public schools. It would be nice if intro to world religions could be taught, but there are too many literalists of all kinds, including atheists. complex poems that the culture treats like manuals

Re Bible as literature classes: while I think it's pretty obvious that today's Christian conservatives would definitely turn them into unconstitutional Bible study sessions, in a perfect world they are useful. My lapsed Episcopalian dad gave little atheist me a Bible in HS "for the allusions."

We need some kind of wilderness camp where young atheists can work out their anger and move on to true atheism: realizing everyone has their thing and it isn't worth getting that worked up over

One of the more terrifying realizations for me as a twentysomething atheist was realizing this mindset is not restricted to religion or even politics. It's just everywhere.

I really resent that being an outspoken atheist is still considered cringe even in an era when the US government is explicitly invoking theocracy as a justification for fascism.

Question for longtime atheists. Did/does the focus on Richard Dawkins seem really kinda faddish or desperate to any of you? Like it gives this guy too much credit/blame? Is he the reason any of you is atheist?

I get the sentiment but athiests don't need to catch strays to also insult Trump supporters. The premise is atheist aren't the thing which is why it is shocking they are better at it. They got to be atheists because they paid attention and left. Of course they do it better than the hypocrites.

Did you know that being an atheist doesn't require you to disregard every facet of a person who's a theist? Or that being the Pope doesn't require you to be wrong about everything you believe? There is only one absolute: Country music made after 1975 is shit and people who listen to it are shitty.

Tyrannosaurus Rex. I know that’s basic but that’s the real life monster of my childhood dinosaur books. My favorite period was the Cretaceous when the Rex appeared. Always the thrilling climax of every book. Life was pretty good and then this beast showed up! Then all the dinosaurs died.

I'm a Catholic-raised atheist so by inclination I don't believe in Hell and by doctrine fervently hope if Hell exists it is empty but the closest thing I have to faith assures me that if there is a Hell as I understand it Donald Trump is going there.

A reminder to theists AND atheists, atheism has nothing to do with science, atheism is the question to a single claim. Now we can use science and do, however you can throw all that out the window and theists are still left to prove their claim. A quote from the bible, the irony is palpable.

"Faith is the sbstance of things hoped for. the evidence of things not seen"
