Jesus was obviously a waterbender.

And so was Moses.

I’m pretty sure I’ve said this before,

but I find Ancient Aliens more believable than religion…and that’s saying something.

Story time with Jared!

I remember like 4 or 5 years ago I asked my Sunday school teacher how it was possible for god to create the world in 7 days if it was proven that dinosaurs existed millions of years before humans. This is what she told me, “well maybe god days are longer than regular people days.”

…”did you set it to Wumbo?”

I want to found a religion where Kanye West is God, Lil B is his Son, and Tyler the Creator is The Holy Spirit. The sacred text will be comprised of Lil B’s tweets.

It’s ironic, how as an atheist, more than anything, I just want to be her savior.

When people tell me my atheism is just a “phase”:

Kony go read a bible.

Apparently he already did, cause the LRA is a Christian terrorist group. Just fyi, Mr. Meleson.

Using the Bible to say homosexuality is immoral is like a Twilight fanatic using Bram Stoker’s Dracula to say vampires are real.

Illogical statements backed by fiction are even more illogical.


For those theists who actually believe that atheists are devil worshipers,

that’s actually a common misconception. Contrary to popular belief, we atheists aren’t satanists, but rather, we are the spawn of Satan himself, sent here to test your faith in God; the very being who created, and allows, Satan to live in the first place. Nbd :)

My Story: Lucky for me I was born into a Theravada Buddhist, Sri Lankan family. And since Theravada Buddism is really not a religion and more of philosophy I wasn’t raised under Gods either. And my parents, especially my mother, were fairly neutral and even a bit liberal in their views so I wasn’t raised in a super conservative or “traditional” family either, so I was free to develop my own thoughts. But even so, idk what influenced me, I grew up with super conservative views as a kid. Up until around 2 years ago, I was homophobic, pro-life, and had other Republican views; not very atheist, huh? But then, sometime over the Summer of 2010, I started getting exposed to more and more videos and articles on New Atheism, humanism, and liberalism through the internet and it really intrigued me because it was just so….logical. Treating all people the way you wanted to be treated, the importance of liberty and equality, the inconsistencies of religion, living the one life you have to its fullest; those were all things I started looking into and following as I delved deeper and deeper into the philosophical aspects of humanism, liberalism, and New Atheism.  So as I learned about atheism and its commonly associated philosophies, I felt more passionate about my new views and that’s resulted in me becoming the vocal liberal atheist I am today! :D

Hey look, it’s me!

You can have your absurd beliefs, illogical arguments, and vile scripture so long as they don’t harm anyone else; THAT is your freedom of religion. Heck, you can even go preach it to the world if you’d like; THAT is your freedom of speech and expression. But the second you try to take your nonsense and hinder our growth as people, I’ll stand up against you and put you down.

Keep your stupidity out of my government.

Keep your ignorance out of my textbooks.

And keep your hate out of my society.
