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…

There's a picture of the prophet Muhammad on the back of my t-shirt.

So… you get into a discussion with some Christians, assert that the Bible is full of contradictions and get asked for evidence. What do you do?

Try 10 minutes of Bible contradictions conveyed as cute animated quiz show. No guarantees you’ll be more persuasive, but this excellent vid just might sweeten the pill a teeny weeny bit. Enjoy!

So who are you? Where did you come from? Do you feel privileged to be alive?

Many people who don’t understand atheists think we are a sad and desperate bunch, devoid of any hope. The reality is, in many cases, quite the contrary. We realize what an incredible place the universe is and just how lucky we are to be a part of it. We can get our fix of wonder and awe without any of the fairytales.

Give this quote some thought today. It has to be the most poetic thought to ever come out of Science!

“Every atom in your body came from a star that exploded. The atoms in your left hand probably came from a different star than your right hand. You are all stardust. All the things that matter for evolution and for life weren’t created at the beginning of time. They were created in the nuclear furnaces of stars. The only way for them to get into your body is if those stars were kind enough to explode. So forget Jesus. The stars died so that you could be here today.”

Lawrence Krauss

So sublime!

I know this could very well be fake, but it perfectly illustrates how even 5-year-olds can think for themselves when it comes to gods and religion. It just highlights the damage that religious brainwashing causes to children’s minds by stubbing out their natural curiosity and predisposition for critical thought.

Quoted from FMLife.com

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

Thank God for zombie movies

Thank God for zombie moves. Or rather, thank Jesus for zombie movies. Actually, thank the crackpots who wrote the Bible – they had a wonderful imagination judging by ’80s Hollywood standards.

Anyone who thinks that Atheists are by definition not spiritual beings really needs to watch this lovely video by A. Hughman. I choked up with emotion because it expresses the way I feel more eloquently than I suppose I ever could. I was also reminded of Carl Sagan when he said:

In some respects, science has far surpassed religion in delivering awe. How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed”? Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.”

Anyway, before you enjoy the video, I must express my one reservation, though: chocolate cake absolutely beats apple butter on a biscuit!

I’ve seen my share of ridiculous church signs but we have to create a new dumbass award for whoever came up with this one I found on reddit. The person who posted the picture says the area code is 716, in case you’d like to call in and answer their question. I wonder if there are any prizes to be won!

If Evolution is true, why help the poor?

Here’s a short interview with a delightfully endearing Bertrand Russell – the atheist philosopher who came up with the famous Russell’s Teapot argument that inspired our Russell’s Teapot t-shirt. What a brilliant and insightful old man! Enjoy!

One Nation Under God

Now this hilarious Pledge of Allegiance cartoon gives an interpretation of “One Nation under God” that I can agree with! Just think of how religion, and ergo ‘God’, tend to get in the way and screw up everything, from the rights of gay people to be together and live like the rest of us to our understanding of science and the world around us. You see what I mean?

If there’s any praying types out there reading this, could you kindly ask God to get off our backs for a millennium or two? Thanks!

When I was a Catholic, I started to evaluate the evidence, or rather, the lack of evidence, for God. This is what led me to my disbelief. It wasn’t an easy road and now I have to say that I am having another rethink about God. But hey! Having an open mind is all about being able to change your mind, isn’t it?

I have watched the video below several times now and I am totally dumbfounded. A fellow atheist has found conclusive, hard scientific evidence for God, and it really does hold up! He also devised some simple tests you can try at home to show God definitely exists. Of all people an atheist! Needless to say, he’s an ex-atheist now.

I have always said that if anyone offered me strong, convincing evidence for God, then I would turn around on a dime and believe. I never thought it would happen – ever! But it looks like that day has come. I honestly never thought I’d become convinced once again of God’s existence in under three minutes. Watch the video below with an open mind and judge for yourself!
