This makes absolute sense and my heart aches for this man. Having said that, that's a fucking amazing picture.

I want to know what any one of these fucking lunatics would have done if it was their child in the gorilla enclosure. I truly am devastated that the he had to be killed. It’s awful. But between that and a child being ripped to shreds while dozens of people looked on, I’m going with shoot the gorilla.

I’ll probably get shit for pulling this out of the gray BUT:

I have a truly honest, non-trolling question.

Yup all we do is lie to each other when we talk about the new Ghostbusters movie and disguise our deep seeded hate for women. That’s completely logical.

It’s not about women for a lot of people. Everyone who I speak to doesn’t give a shit about the fact that the new ghostbusters are women. They just think 2 things. This was not a movie that needed rebooting or remaking and 2 it looks like SHIT. If 4 male actors did the same thing I would still think it was a bad idea.

That’s such a tough spot to be in. Especially because it’s so new for you. Hang in there. Bottom line, no one can dictate to you what you believe.

possible answer...

Yeah, Dawkin is kind of a butthole and I’d rather not be associated with him.

The God Delusion is not a Bible for Atheists. Please don’t say that. The entire point is that atheists should think for themselves, there is no Bible for Athesists. This just sounds like a lost man who substituted one set of opinions and beliefs given to him with another set given to him.

The God Delusion is, of course, Richard Dawson’s work, and a primary text that atheists bring up whilst arguing about their own beliefs. You might call it... a bible for atheism.

Thats the joy of athiesm - you *can* ignore the crap and keep what works.

I learned the word for that a few years ago— apostasy. I love it. I think sharing our apostasy stories can be as powerful as people sharing their “born-again” stories.

Just call it a bible for Dawkins-ists.

Being an atheist means that Sunday morning grocery shopping is the shit.

I know someone else who went through a similar thing reading a book on atheism (i don’t know which one). It’s weird that people actually change their minds about stuff like this. I grew up religious and always sort of took it all as a fairy tale, so it was easy to walk away from when I was a teen. For a person who…

This is totally how I think. I once bumped into someone from work at brunch and on Monday I was like “sorry it took me a minute to recognize you I’m not used to seeing coworkers in the real world”. he was like “the real world?! work isn’t in the real world?” and i was like shit that’s one of those things you are…

On what was one of the worst days (lost two jobs in three weeks) during the worst times (dad fighting cancer), a friend invited me out to dinner and a club. I don’t go to clubs since The Ghosts of Mr. Rogers’ Sweaters basically inhabit my soul. I was feeling reckless, so I threw on jeans and a blouse and some flats,…

I work on the same floor as the President of the company so I tend to dress up a bit more because she’s always walking about and there are always guests and big meetings. But honestly I kind of like having “work clothes” and “fun clothes” - putting on a more professional outfit and heels helps me feel more capable and…

Sorry to be a downer, but that show and this video are pure child exploitation and I think it’s really sad that Jezebel encourages it.
