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

“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…

Why do people buy into this bullshit?
I get sick and tired of watching the faithful stand idly by, because they’ve chosen to pray about a situation rather than participate in an active solution.
Tithing is the same. Effortless charity.
Fucking waste of time!!

Boy, girl killed in Afghan acid attack ‘over friendship’
GHAZNI — A 12-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy have been killed in an acid attack in Afghanistan, an official said Saturday, with witnesses claiming it was because of their friendship in what is an ultra-conservative country.
The bodies were discovered on Friday in wasteland in the Esfandi area of Ghazni province in south central Afghanistan, provincial police chief Zorawar Zahid told AFP.
“Their bodies and faces were burnt by acid,” he said.
The police chief said officers were investigating the motive for the attack, but witnesses who found the bodies told AFP the two were probably killed because of their friendship.
No one has claimed the bodies, which are still in Ghazni hospital, police said.
The attack is the latest incident to highlight the dangers still faced by many young men and women in Afghanistan 10 years after a US-led invasion ousted the Taliban, notorious for their oppressive policies against women and conservative attitude towards relationships.
On December last year, a 17-year-old Afghan girl and her family were sprayed with acid, apparently after rejecting a marriage proposal. The girl, Mumtaz, was seriously injured when several masked gunmen broke into her home in the northern city of Kunduz and sprayed acid in her face.
