Looking for submissions/ideas/questions/opinions

Hey all, I’m running out of material to post. And let’s face it, we should all be a part of creating the face of atheism, not just a single person with a blog. If anyone has material they want to share or suggestions as to where this blog should be going or what you’d like me to post more of, send me an ask or a submission. 99% of the time will take your suggestion or post your...

echofx asked: Hi, I've been reading through your posts and think you're pretty great. However in one post you were talking about the 4th dimension as time and the universe expanding. The thing is, time doesn't really exist.

Oftentimes, you will hear theists say that we cannot understand God but that doesn’t mean He is not real. Reread that statement. If you do not understand it yourself, what has you so bloody convinced it is real in the first place? Such an argument is akin to saying that that a murder victim was killed by magic when you have no leads. Instead of writing things off, one should find evidence...

Science is like trying to pick out which of many cups has a marble under it. If you don’t find it the first time, you keep looking until you find it. Religion is like trying to find a bowling ball under a cup. We can logically say that it’s not possible; why does everyone keep looking?

Religious people claim to have all of the answers.

Rational people know that we’ve barely scratched the surface of knowledge.

somewhereinthehills asked: Seriously, thank you for this blog! It's such a relief knowing that not everyone on Earth is a huge fucking moronic bigot. I will never understand why all different religions oppose one another and say nothing is correct except THEIR religion. It makes no fucking sense when you think about it; they have more in common with each other than they do with atheists, as they are all theists. They...

do you say “Oh, well that part of the science is wrong.”? Science is undoubtedly getting closer to the beginning every day. Yesterday, we learned that the Sun does not revolve around the Earth. Today, we’re studying the cosmic background and far away objects in order to look back in time. Tomorrow, we will be studying the Big Bang (or equivalent) itself. Every day we look deeper...
