Also, Mercedes has been deluged with responses so she may not be able to respond to everyone."

- About Me:
- "Knowing can be a curse on a person’s life. I’d traded in a pack of lies for a pack of truth, and I didn’t know which one was heavier. Which one took the most strength to carry around? It was a ridiculous question, though, because once you know the truth, you can’t ever go back and pick up your suitcase of lies. Heavier or not, the truth is yours now."

- Why are you here?
- I'm here to help people learn HOW to think... because I believe that rational thought, inevitably and eventually, leads to non religion and atheism. Even if it doesn't, I still think people's freedom and happiness depends on their ability to understand the world around them. Nothing would make me happier than to see people using their miraculous brain at its full capacity.

God Freaks Self Out By Lying Awake Contemplating Own Immortality
Posted on February 2, 2013 at 1:15pm 7 Comments 6 Likes
Brought to you by The Onion (a satirical "news" organization)
THE HEAVENS—Sources close to God reported Thursday that the Creator of the Universe and Author of Our Eternal Salvation suffered a crippling bout of existential dread this week, lying awake all night as He pondered His own immortality.
Anxiously drumming His fingers, the all-powerful being was…

I've become increasingly frustrated with people's insistence that words can mean whatever they want them to mean, and whatever is convenient for them to mean. Words are meant for one thing: communication. Once everyone personalizes words and definitions, we lose that ability. If "to you" a chair is what the rest of us consider a table, you're going to lose us when you start telling about setting the chair for dinner.
Even more frustrating is when people, or Bibles, make absolute…

You may or may not know there's a hurricane headed towards New England as we speak, or that it's what experts are calling a "perfect storm" (converging with a cold front, and during a full moon). I really don't know why it's called a "perfect storm" because, my opinion is that, a "perfect storm" would be one that left zero damage and wasn't frightening in the least. Well, I'm not frightened yet, just trying to make some preparations.

What Good Are You to Me?

There’s an image floating around on Facebook of what appears to be an African man holding his emaciated son in his arms. The caption says something about God and prayers being unanswered, and how this is proof there is no god. It’s not the only image like it floating around, so I’m sure you get the gist. God answers the prayers of indulgent, greedy Americans yet ignores the pleading of starving children everywhere else in the world (well, and even right in the United States). Of course, a…

Shabaka Tecumseh said… i posted it twice on the discussion board because I was instructed not to on the blog. Neither was posted to discussions. I hope they don't look at it as being too close to home but instead a subject that needs breaching. I know I'm not that literate on the computer, but the methods I used in the past worked for postings.

Coleen, of all the people that I've encountered on Think Atheist, you and one other person seem like reasonable and sensible human beings. I submitted this article on the discussion board and so far was meant with silence. I think this subject needs to be addressed just like male chauvinism within the atheist community. Again, I find it hard to believe that the supposed best and brightest of our culture can't engage in a topic that will benefit us all. It just goes to show that racism trumps intelligence. And you can tell them all an extensive vocabulary and reliance on a racist education does not bode well with enlightenment. And ALL atheist seem to claim to be such.

Derek Sexton Horani said… Yeah, not so much musicians, but people who make video's. Like DarkMatter2525 (Dark Antics) and others... Maybe I'll make atheist music video's? I'd love to take a shot at some of your poetry and add it to music. Let me know!

Yay, maybe I'll give it a try. Just have to brainstorm on a topic. I'd love to do music Atheism style, I'm just not comfortable with lyrics yet. I do make video's with music - check out this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcyh8y5yjRU - I did it for my friend who's on American Idol. Now I just have to figure out a "voice" so to speak within the Atheist community. Not so easy, there are plenty doing great stuff on youtube. Help me brainstorm?
