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!
