all I know, all I believe are crumbling images no longer comforting me this ground is not the rock I thought it to be thought I was high, thought I was free thought I was there: divine destiny I was wrong. This changes everything.

There is no God, by Penn Jillette →
I believe that there is no God. I’m beyond atheism. Atheism is not believing in God. Not believing in God is easy — you can’t prove a negative, so there’s no work to do.

Deconversion
This is wrong, But it can’t be, I see, I see no room for soul or for Thee, No place for input of ethereal energy, I am brain, brain is me, No soul, no spirit, No saving need, No ears to hear it, There is no place for a god in this world, No way in which He or another could act, Nowhere where physics or chemistry bends, No place for a god to enact his or her ends, I am resolved in this now,...
Theme

23-shades-of-grey asked: Hey there! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this blog. I live in a country where people who don't believe in God or Allah are discriminated against. It is quite hypocritical, now that I think about it-- "love thy neighbour, except if thy neighbour is an atheist. Then thy shalt beat the crap out of thy neighbour." It helps to know that there is an entire community out there...

I know, this is certainly no xbox 360 or brand new car but momma’s been busy, ok?
Happy holidays, heathens.

Feel like Donating this Holiday Season? →
One section of Reddit, r/atheism, has been operating an incredibly successful drive for Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) this year. They’ve raised over 200,000 dollars so far, and would love even more help. Donating is simple, online and can be completely anonymous.
Thanks, and please reblog!
