This image captures one of them : the absurdity of thinking that a god so powerful , so wise , so good would demand worship from humans and would condemn them to eternal punishment for the crime of not believing . Only a god created by the human mind would have such petty desires Subscribe to Atheist Revolution Theirs is a Jealous God 2012-01-31T05:52:00-06:00 vjack Christianity| Subscribe to : Post Comments Atom Older Post Home Sponsors Recent Posts Loading

RIGHT now, there’s a blazing exchange taking place on the BBC World Service’s Facebook page, following a broadcast on religion this morning which utterly infuriated me. Getting wound up by the squads of religionists who get a disproportionate amount of airtime on the BBC is something that happens to people like me far too often [...]

We've seen countless examples of bigotry directed at us by Christians , including elected officials who are supposed to know better . And it is not just the Christians the record is not much better for members of other mainstream religions . I suspect we can agree that there are multiple reasons for how we are perceived by many religious . individuals A number of prominent atheist bloggers

There’s a lot of discussion raging right now about the faster-than-light neutrinos that supposedly have been observed at the CERN laboratories. Will this discovery disprove parts of Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and radically change the way we view the universe? Or is this just another case of experimental error? Whatever the outcome, the one thing [...]
Is that Jesus? NOPE! Just Chuck Testa! Note: Chuck Testa does not taxidermize pets, but if you have any dead messiahs you want to preserve in the most lifelike way possible, just send them his way.
I saw this picture of a guy wearing a t-shirt that said "There's a picture of the prophet Muhammad on the back of my t-shirt." on the front, and on the back, "Just kidding. Praise Allah".
So I thought, what if...

"Today, after church, my 5-year-old son asked me about God, so I answered his questions in full. We talked about God for over 2 hours. At the end of it all, he pondered for a moment, before saying to me "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. You're dumb." FML"

A few have come in the form of comments many more have come via email , Twitter , etc . Some have raised important issues that map on well to future posts I have planned for the series , and it makes sense to address them at that time .

This is often justified by their concerns about our morality , as many doubt that we can be good without their preferred god(s I think it is also fair to speculate that we may be viewed in this manner because our presence reminds religious believers that the might be wrong . However , I've been wondering lately about whether an even more important reason for perceiving us as a threat might be our tendency to question the status quo , particularly the religious

I want an atheist community that celebrates diversity and that strives to be welcoming to all atheists . This is not the sort of atheist community we currently have .
