Teresa MacBain has a secret, one she's terrified to reveal.

This is a marginally edited letter to a friend in response to a video link he had sent me.
Hey mate,

Right, because the only explanation is “god did it”, and when god’s motives seem fishy, it must be god’s “mysterious ways”. *facepalm*

The naturalist understanding of morality asserts that we have evolved empathy as an impetus to cooperation. Combined with personal experience, empathy leads most of us to a "Golden Rule" sense of morality. From experience, I know what hurts me: with empathy, I know the same things likely hurt you too. Experience and empathy is all we need to decide most moral matters. "Do unto…

Thank you for sending me 27 tweets trying to save my soul, which i don't have from hell which does not exist upon being judged by a god that isn't there. Wanting me to go to a heaven, which does not exist is a nice though. It still bewilders me what i would do with 72 virgins, and would they stay virgins afterwards? How long would it be before all 73 of us would be bored by each other? Eternity can be a very long time you know.…

a frustrated young individual
born of the late 20th century
sat down in their favorite cafe
buried in a borough of the big apple
with cigarette in hand &
a little memo book---
with coffee & cigarettes following each other
one after another,
they began to write down the most ridiculous ideas
that they could muster,
entailing what would happen in the distant future.
after making a good amount of…

have you heard the shit festering
about the robot prostitutes in the making?
heard the christians & republicans
whining their way into a “debate”
about the moral concerns that might come about
as a result of having a robot do
what an exploited, sex trafficked individual
might once have?
see, if robots start doing the street corners
or dancing in the cubbies in Amsterdam,
there might not be the chance for any…

I have been reading with some amusement the moralizing coverage in the US press of the Secret Service/US Military Colombian Prostitution Scandal. I have tried to distill what I have read into a spoof news article that from my perspective sums up the issues here:
Secret Service Colombian Prostitution Scandal
The Colombia prostitution scandal widened Tuesday as it emerged that Secret Service agents and military personnel brought back at…

goodbye
net neutrality
goodbye
the so-called “land of the free” online
goodbye
free exchange of ideas &
the ability to speak out against the wrongs of the empire &
the coalesced corporate whores that have lured you into the grasp
via social
like the Ghostbusters sucking the specters
down
down
down
into the trap---
for the scum on the hill want to make sure your hands are tied…

PETA does a contest every year for the cutest vegetarian alive or whatever. I always voted and stuff, but never entered it. So for some odd reason, I felt compelled to join it. PETA encourages the contestants to post contest on facebook and stuff to get more votes for yourself. But, I don't have a facebook, twitter, tumblr, stickam, or anything else that all the kids my age have. So I thought I'd post it here. I know it doesn't exactly relate to atheism, so for that, I apologize. But it was…

while waiting in line at a bank,
a television hoisted in the upper corner of the room
has anderson cooper’s television show on &
a woman is testifying that during her
near death experience,
she acquired the ability to speak
telepathically
to both aliens & angels---
she looks right into the camera when she says it
with all the “faith” in the world
gleaming out her
beady
little
idiotic glow…

I found this in my collection of articles, but for the life of me I don't remember who wrote it. A very relateable article nonetheless!
What it feels like to be an Atheist
I've always been an atheist, I know nothing else. From my earliest memory of considering the question, I'm talking maybe age three or four, I was skeptical as hell. The God stories just didn't add up. I'm amazed everyday of my life that everyone isn't an atheist like me. But…

think of all the stupid holidays that
western civilization celebrates---
everything from christmas to valentines,
all holding rituals that require one to
cough up the bucks & perpetuate the
empire &
the riches in this one plot of land
aren’t even given to all of its occupants,
so imagine how stupid these holidays are
to those who live outside the empire,
whose own lives having nothing to do with us
at all,…

You know, I may be out of line dragging CISPA into this thread, but personally I think the entire internet needs to know about it; from porn sites to 4chan and everything in between. This is the next in a long, potentially inexhaustible line of "Internet Killing" bills. Unlike its parents, SOPA and PIPA, CISPA is a bill that allows the government to spy on you through your computer. They can log your ISP, wherever it goes, and…
