The Faces of Atheists: Tired of People Vilifying... →
facesofatheists:
I’ve made this blog because I’m super sick and tired of atheists being wrongly assumed to be horrible people void of all morals. The atheists I know are loving, compassionate, creative, genuinely AMAZING people who are out to make positive changes in this world.
Basically, what I want this…
To whom it might interest. :-)

Cosmic Log - Doubts about 'the Jesus Discovery' →
“In my assessment, there’s zero percent chance that their theory is correct,” said Andrew Vaughn, executive director of the American Schools of Oriental Research, or ASOR. Christopher Rollston, an expert in Semitic epigraphy at Emmanuel Christian Seminary in Tennessee, said that although the underground chamber is “a nice tomb … it’s hard to press it into...

re: where do souls come from...
Some religions have a solution to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_guf
Says its from Jewish mysticism but I remember talk of it, or something like it, in my Catholic school (around the time I started to question everything).
Well this does not solve the reincarnation issue but that being said, where do the souls from the guf came from in the first place? One of the things that makes...

A 100% college attendance rate SHOULDN'T happen.

Fact #1: Going to college does not make you a snob, much less hoping more people did.
Fact#2: Technology advances. The working class of the next generation, if it is to be successful, will need new skills. The type you don’t get outside of an academic environment. In the same way that those who did not...

Cosmic Log - New find revives 'Jesus Tomb' flap →
Witherington said the connections made in the newly published book were similar to those put forth in Tabor’s earlier work. “Most of us who have evaluated his work would say, OK, all very interesting, but it’s building one speculation on another speculation,” he said.
And like the first time around christians will assume it is all true and ignore the later...

zombee asked: THE LORD will never give you up. Jesus will never let you down. God will never run around, He will not hurt you. He will never make you cry, Jesus will certainly never say good-bye. Jesus will NEVER tell a lie and desert you.

1) (from dictionary.com here) “doctrine: a particular principle, position, or policy taught or advocated”
atheists generally hold all different beliefs but one is in common and has to be in order to be an atheist, and that is the belief that, without a doubt, there is no god-

chapelofthechimes asked: I don't understand how I came across as making an exception in relation to a god in which I don't believe. Maybe I was just arguing semantics. I apologize. I appreciate the Friendly Atheist Tumblr. Thank you for all the good work you are doing. :)

cisethnic asked: all atheists are not agnostic and that statement is very misleading, anyway both atheism and agnosticism are doctrinal belief systems and agnosticism concedes that there could be a god whereas atheists hold the firm belief that there is no god and there never has been and never will be. having no evidence to disprove a deity doesnt instantly invalidate atheism just like having no evidence to prove...

chapelofthechimes asked: Richard Dawkins “can’t be sure God does not exist,” just as he cannot be unsure that God doesn't exist. Theists also can't be sure of God's existence. They CHOOSE to believe in it; atheists CHOOSE not to.
It's not that I believe God doesn't exist. It's...
highlanderhufflepuffhugmachine:
I mean, sure, there COULD be a God.
There could also be invisible, pink, floating unicorns that eat rainbow light.
But if there’s no evidence that they exist, why would I think they do?

“If there were no God, there would be no atheists.”

Richard Dawkins: “I can’t be sure God does not exist.”
LOL!! Dumbasses. They did not read the “God Delusion” at all. All atheists are agnostics by definition. Atheism is about belief, agnosticism is about knowledge. No knowledge demands a lack of belief. Simple.
Has Richard Dawkins changed is position? No.

I do not know who discovered water but I am sure it was not a fish.
God is to man/woman as water is to fish.
LOL. I think you are confusing god for the atmosphere. You know, the mixture of nitrogen, oxygen and other gases that would be analogous to the watery habitat of fishes.

Bullshit With Butterfly Wings: Why Christianity is... →
theilluminatedatheist:
My grandfather once argued that the bible is “evidence” that the Christian God exists, because so many authors wrote the bible over such a long time that it would be impossible to have a consistent tone and theme, and yet it does.
This is something that I don’t hear argued very much and so my…

On the historicity of the New Testament.
Recently I received an email from a reader. Among some things it stated the following:
“Your comment: “Even the existence of Jesus, as described in the New Testament, has no evidence to support it.” Now the leader of IV (InterVarsity, yup it’s a Christian group and it has nothing to do with athletics) has been going over the historical validity of the bible, or at...
