"Some people say homosexuality is a sin. It’s not. God is perfectly cool with it, God feels the exact same way about homosexuality that God feels about heterosexuality. Now you might say, ‘Whoa, slow down. You move too fast. How could you have the audacity, the temerity, to speak on behalf of God?’ Exactly, that’s an excellent point and I pray that you remember it."

Ted Alexandro

"I’ve always thought the term ‘God-fearing’ was odd because I can’t think of a single instance where fear and paranoia brought out the best in people."

Once upon a time

"The body of a newborn baby is as old as the cosmos. The form is new and unique, but the materials are 13.7 billion years old, processed by nuclear fusion in stars, fashioned by electromagnetism. Cold words for amazing processes. And that baby was you. Is you. You’re amazing. Not only alive, but with a mind. What fool would exchange this for every winning lottery ticket ever drawn?"

Science Saved My Soul, philhellenes

A big part of arguing Pascal’s Wager (aside from the fact that you’re presupposing Christianity to be true if ever there is a god) is the assumption that you have little to lose from it. That’s a stupid idea. 

There is a lot to lose from it. You lose hours praising some nonexistent deity. You lose the capability to understand people from different faiths and backgrounds (truly understand, not condescendingly “understand”). You lose the capability to thank those people who are truly responsible for the everyday blessings of your life, giving credence to the divine intervention of some god. You lose the capability to self-improve, saying that “God will always have a better plan” than you being successful.

Feel free to deceive yourself. Just don’t say that you lose nothing from it.

It is fashionable to wax apocalyptic about the threat to humanity posed by the AIDS virus, “mad cow” disease, and many others, but I think a case can be made that faith is one of the world’s great evils, comparable to the smallpox virus but harder to eradicate.

Fixed it.

Wow, morality police much, op?

How about we base someone’s value on who they are, not how many people they’ve slept with?
