IRS Warns Churches About Political Activities,...
atheismfuckyeah:
IRS regional manager Peter Lorenzetti told pastors attending the Faith Leaders Summit meeting in Washington that activities that could result in loss of tax-exempt status include endorsing or opposing candidates, campaigning for them or making contributions to their campaigns.
But pastors are free to do any of those things as private citizens, U.S> Rep. G. K. Butterfield,...

bigbrightgoldenhalo:
As an agnostic I find myself baffled by a few habits of the religious, one of which is the strange Christian (and post-Christian) preoccupation with the sufferings of Christ. Let me put the sufferings and crucifixion of this simple carpenter into context for you: some thirty years after the apparent execution of the man Yeshua (Anglicized ‘Jesus’) on Golgotha in Jerusalem,...

An atheist on Judgment Day.
enjoyyourshoes:
The line seemed to stretch back forever. Hundreds of millions of souls, waiting patiently for their turn before the throne. The date… Well, the day is Judgment Day, so you won’t find it on any calendar. The queue of people winds its way down the mountain, through the valley and off into the far distance. Everybody in the queue can see the final destination at the mountain peak. A...

"So you think you can live without God?" →
onehumanist:
(From the British Humanist Association Website)
“Variations on the above question are often used against atheists and humanists. Some of them merit serious replies; others are based on such misunderstandings that it can be hard to know how to respond. The answers below, compiled by the Humanist Philosophers and the British Humanist Association, will probably not change the minds of...

edman93:
If studying-lgbtq-people inboxes you asking to take part in questions about LGBTQ people “to help her understand” DO NOT DO IT. It is Sophie M Herold, the girl from Germany who attacks LGBTQ people and outs them to others. She is transphobic, homophobic and one of the sickest people I know. And now she’s back with a cunning new plan to get you NAME, ADDRESS, BIRTH DATE, AND PHOTO.

It's amusing to me.
atheismforthewin:
That the blog posting all of the bible chapters is called, “freedmentalstate.”
It seems a bit contradictory, you know?
Just a thought.

I blocked that one almost right away. It’s a complete waste of space.

I think that christians don't get their own book.
poetrywritteningas submitted:
Just because it says that THEY can’t do it, doesn’t mean that everyone else can’t, or that they should try and ban it. If the bible said “no Doctor Who on Sunday”, that means christians cannot watch Doctor Who on Sunday, not “go ban watching Doctor Who on Sunday for everyone else just because you’re butthurt about...

Attention!
deconversionmovement:
freedmentalstate, el-peligroso, and prayerworkz are the same troll. Let freedmentalstate spam the Atheist tag with full Bible chapters. If you pay it mind, you feed the troll. I see it this way, if he’s willing to post the chapters but unwilling to defend them, he isn’t worth our time. I’ve noticed the concern expressed under the Atheism tag and decided to address the...

deconversionmovement:
Good News Clubs’ evangelism in schools is already subverting church-state separation. Now they justify murdering nonbelievers.
The Bible has thousands of passages that may serve as the basis for instruction and inspiration. Not all of them are appropriate in all circumstances.
The story of Saul and the Amalekites is a case in point. It’s not a pretty story, and it is often...

Food for thought?
theloveisin:
A man may glide into agnosticism insensibly, and remain in it languidly; but to believe is to be alive. Those who think faith to be a childish business will have to make considerable advance toward manliness before they are able to test their own theory.
As you have posed “Food for thought” as a question, I assume you are wondering if this is truly food for thought....

christiantheatheist:
at least remove the “follow for the best atheist posts on tumblr”. That shit is goddamn annoying.
YES PLS.
I’ve boycotted that Tumblr. There some good material there, but it is stolen and without attribution. It’s almost like it’s run by a bot.
