(no subject)

Nothing like Tumblr to remind me how much I hate every religion on Earth, especially yours. I hate every Abrahamic faith. I hate “paganism” and “heathenism” and especially “Wotanism.” I hate the three faiths Americans think of when they talk about “Eastern religions,” and at least two of the ones they aren’t thinking of. I hate wishy-washy agnosticism, I hate Deism just for good measure, and I’d probably hate Rastafarianism if I could stop laughing at it. And if you let something bigger and more “important” than humans determine who it’s okay to hurt and abandon, then fuck it, I hate you too.

The point when I decided to kudos this fic

Toga: Are ya drunk?

Sakaki: Hey, my daddy didn’t need to be sober to beat up kids, and neither do I.

A thought in praise of Rationalists

Inspired by this exchange. 

A joke Stephen Colbert once made: "God is love. Love is blind. Stevie Wonder is blind. Therefore, Stevie Wonder is God." This is an actual argument style, and some people get surprisingly far with it. I think one of the defining traits of Rationalists, as a community, is that they are very good at noticing when anyone tries to argue this way.
