Hello and welcome to the adventures of your everyday atheist! I stand for social justice and am completely pro-equality, but I strongly disagree with the tumblr-type social justice warrior bullshit. Also, my ask box is always open. No but really, it is open to anything and everything.
For a blog with less of a point, I have a personal account: thelifeandtimesof-amanda.tumblr.com

 

Top 10 Horrifying Moments in the Bible

liberal-atheist:

The Bible is full of tales of adventure, war, nations being built and destroyed and so much more. It is a veritable source of fascinating stories and historical recollections. But, along with the good comes the bad – it is also full of horrifying moments that put the goriest modern horror films to shame. This list looks at ten such tales.

thegodlessatheist:

God loves you, so worship him and obey or go to hell!!
Julie loves you, so honor her and never leave her or she’ll kill you!!
Do you know how fucked up and sadistic both of those sound? One is deemed acceptable by religion and the other is deemed insane by society.

“The bible does not say to stop gay marriage.  It says you should kill them (Leviticus 20:13).  If you’re not willing to do that, then stop using the bible to justify your discrimination, because you aren’t even following it.”

and then there’s the whole Kill the Gays bill going on in Uganda…

Isaiah 45:7

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

I wish I could plaster this all over the world.

The bible writers could not make up their minds…would a god love mankind, or would he hate us.  So they looked around at the world, and saw that one good person could have everything life could offer, and then a little while later, for no reason whatsoever, from disease or natural disaster, be reduced to a shriveled shell of suffering…while another good person could be living a life of abject misery, and then suddenly strike it rich. So they wrote a lottery god…that both loved and hated mankind, to the very extent that they made Jesus say that not everyone that called him Lord, would go to heaven…You pays your money, and you takes your chances!

This probably shouldn’t have made me laugh… but it did.
