"fuel is more affordable than it was during the early '60s"

Hey folks, gas prices are so much better then in the 1960's (adjusted, of course)! Doesn't that make you feel better? These guys seem to think you should think so:



A big surprise on gas: You may not believe it, but fuel is more affordable than it was during the early '60s.



Talk about a big, warm, fuzzy feeling inside, huh ?! Remember that next time it costs you upwards of $70 to… Continue

IN before fundie "science"

I came across this article while doing my daily news trolling.



Prehistoric giant animals killed by man, not climate: study



The headline is fairly misleading and the content is somewhat fluffy. I'm trying to get my paws on the paper so I can give it a look but, as of this moment, the PNAS website doesn't yet have it available.



The research, theory and possible… Continue

Update-izzle

I'm heading back to school in.....5 days.



I'm looking forward to this because: I'll be getting away from the family once more.



I'm NOT looking forward to this because: I'll be 320 miles away from the love of my life for nearly 9-10 months.



Yes, I know I can come for visits, but it's not the same. I want to be here, with her, living with her, loving her, and all that sappy stuff. -sighs- She's willing to put up with me, so I guess I shouldn't… Continue

What Does Atheism Symbolize To You?

Please add your two cents. I'd rather do a poll but this will have to do.
What does Atheism mean to you?
How would you symbolize it? How does being an atheist affect you and your life?
If you could pick on thing to represent atheism, what would it be and why?

Looking forward to LOTS of answers! Please comment!

RIP: Isaac Hayes

Getting away from the general atheistic ranting that characterizes this blog, I feel the need to post a small memorial. Despite his Scientology background and the stupidity of leaving South Park for its satirizing of religious beliefs, I am quite sad at the passing of Isaac Hayes. If you can't get past his Scientology, then nothing can make you happy. If you can, though, I invite you to forget about Chef, forget about Shaft, and forget about this outfit right here:…

You're just an atheist because mommy and daddy never hugged you!!!

Of all the insults, of all the absurdities and smug assertions of superiority, this one will always have a special place in my memories. This post, my friends, takes the cake.



I was arguing with somebody on Facebook, and she got so fed up she left in a huff. As is sometimes the case with online debaters who get really worked up about a debate they're in, she set her husband on me.… Continue

Nexus perplexus

I would come here more often, except there isn't really much to do. Sure, you can make blog and forum posts, as well as watch and add videos, but not much else and those things are relatively standard on sites, such as this. Maybe, in the future, more unique things will be added to give the user something a little different to pass the time with. For now, though, there's not much to make the Nexus stand out.



Also, it still has some quirks, such as not being able to delete videos,… Continue

Random House publishers become Jihadi lap-dogs.

All right.



Another company has decided to join the ranks of the jihadis.



Random House publishers have cancelled publication of Sherry Jones' novel "The Jewel of Medina", because the efforts of Muslim terrorists to force their censorship upon companies in "free" societies is succeeding.



The bottom line is that this novel is being cancelled, despite being scheduled for release, out of fear that "Muslims will be offended." "Being offended" is something that happens… Continue

Need another blog

Like a hole in the head. But, maybe I can use it for my more anti-theistic rants. It's just not cool to do it anywhere else.

How much does Ning link networks that you are in?

Evolution of Red Hair and Possibility of 'extinction'?

REDHEADS are becoming rarer and could be extinct in 100 years, according to genetic scientists.



The current National Geographic magazine reports that less than two per cent of the world's population has natural red hair, created by a mutation in northern Europe thousands of years ago.



Global intermingling, which broadens the availability of possible partners, has reduced the chances of redheads meeting and producing little redheads of their own.



It takes only… Continue

Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Hey atheosphere (werd), I usually chronical my blogs with chapters (I'm on chapter 25 or so on my facebook page, but no one really reads that either), because I don't expect anyone to really pay attention to my lower level ramblings. I sub to many other atheistic blogs, and all I've got to say is they put me to shame. Quality. I especially enjoy this blog that talks about all the political philosophies. Refreshing.



Anyways, I was compelled to write this post because I saw the support… Continue

Hey. How's it going?

After being on here for a week or two (or so), I thought I'd post and say hello.



My name's Karen, or Spidey, or Mommy; Mommy's winning out at the moment, or maybe I'm being conditioned to answer to just about anything. I'm an agnostic, married to an agnostic with a 6-year-old currently being raised without religion in a...very religious area.



I'm interested in archaeology, cemeteries (my goal is to visit and photograph every cemetery in our area in the next few years), and… Continue

Plug: The Feeble Lance

I'm not huge on podcasts, mainly because I don't have a lot of time to listen to them. I get in an hour at the gym five days a week and another hour power-walking the battlefield on Sundays...that is the extent of my headphone time and I usually prefer to just listen to the music I also don't have time to listen to (typing that has made me painfully aware of something lacking in my life that needs a-fixin'). That being said, I downloaded The Feeble Lance's first podcast the other day and was… Continue

feces creeps towards proverbial fan

Georgia invades South Ossetia, having lost control of the region in 1992. They want it back.



Russia, having granted the citizens of the region Russian citizenship is none to happy about this at all.



Russia bombs the living daylights out of Georgia, rapidly halts Georgia's actions in S. Ossetia.



The UN meets, bickers amongst themselves and comes up with nothing.



Bush says "hey, stop it!" and threatens to not be friends with Putin anymore. Bush, sending… Continue

Stay Classy Juanell Garrett

You know what makes me mad? I know; there's a lot of things that make me upset. But one of the things that has the potential to send me to a fiery tirade is when people >cough, Christians, cough< feel the need to point out that we are a Christian nation founded by Christians. OK first, one needs to describe "founded" and "nation". Are you talking about when the pilgrims came to America to set up shop? Are you talking about Chris and his three boats in the Caribbean? Or are you speaking of… Continue

Atheism, Politics and Friends

I’m reading a book that is so good, so interesting, that I’ve highlighted almost every sentence. It’s a gold mine of ideas and information, a real treat to read.



If you looked at my book list, you’ll notice that I haven’t read all the “traditional” books that all other atheists seem to love. That’s not to say that I won’t, but I became an atheist when most of those books didn’t exist.



Once I… Continue

Vulgar #^%&*@! Vocabulary

I dislike profanity for the most part, but it has its place. There are some thoughts which simply cannot be expressed adequately without it. Nevertheless, I find it painful to wade through mounds of casual vulgar language on the Internet, where it is far more ubiquitous than it is even in so-called "real life" (at least in the circles in which I move). And most of the time, the use of profanity adds nothing to its context.



Most people on the Internet who learn of my dislike of… Continue

well, here goes

i saw this site recently and thought, 'sweet, a facebook for atheists'. i didn't join it then b/c i already have a facebook. seemed like overkill. but, inevitably, i keep wanting to have some place to try and work out this whole new take i have on life... just as i once sought out god, i find myself seeking to define my atheist belief system. so here it is, my own atheist epistle, possibly the first time i have ever tried to lay it out to anyone:

My first funeral as an atheist

Posted by Two Cult Survivor on May 21, 2013 at 11:30am 0 Comments

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.

I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).

THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

Death of a family member

Posted by Larry Taylor on May 20, 2013 at 8:15pm 12 Comments

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…
