—Sin is a lie.
—God is a lie.
—Souls are a lie.
—Hell is a lie.
—Heaven is a lie.
—Christ was not God.
—Salvation is not needed.

Don't swallow the lies you've been fed. The truth may not be as comforting as you'd like, but at least it's true.

Happy Sunday!

This is why I speak out on Twitter: Because a large contingent of folks—usually those who believe in a fictional, supernatural God—believe that unborn humans should be valued over already-born humans, even when the life of an already-born human is at stake. Please #VoteBlue .

The complex framework of apologetics that Abrahamic theists have erected in order 'explain' the hiddenness of their God is one of the most impressive feats of sustained, collective self-delusion in human history.

Dear theists: Your God isn't 'hidden'. Your God doesn't exist.

There’s a certain arrogance implicit in the notion that the cosmos should attend to an individual human, when it so obviously doesn’t attend to anything else. It doesn’t care for the innocent animal dying of cancer or starvation, and a human is just another kind of animal.

Atheists are vastly underrepresented in our prison population but please tell us all about how we need Jesus.

All it takes to be an atheist is to realize that “scientists and philosophers can’t explain X, therefore Z must be the explanation of X” is not valid reasoning.

I think it's safe to say that any book that claims an omniscient, omnipotent, supernatural deity created reality, drowned a planet, murdered the firstborn of a nation, and ordained eternal doom for any who don't believe in him can be assumed to be fiction until proven otherwise.

'The idea that God is a worthy recipient of our gratitude for the blessings of life but should not be held accountable for the disasters is a transparently disingenuous innovation of the theologians.'
—Daniel C. Dennett

#Atheism

Believing that an omniscient, omnipotent God created all of reality and is the arbiter of all that happens within it, but who is not responsible for the existence of evil and all its ramifications, is an egregious illogic that disqualifies the arguments of all such believers.

Cosmological arguments are the air guitar of apologetics.

R.I.P. Daniel C. Dennett, a truly great thinker and incredibly articulate communicator who understood the relationship between science and philosophy probably better than any contemporary philosopher.

Jesus is still dead. Quit reifying corpses, Christians.

Religion is directly harmful. It allows criminals to get away with harm and protects predators, and forces its beliefs and behaviors into society.

This is why I speak out on Twitter—because too many people believe an incompetent, mercurial, autocratic, FICTIONAL God supports an incompetent, mercurial, autocratic, REAL predator for president. It's long past time to liberate ourselves from the tyranny of ancient myths.

Except that shadows don't cause bigotry, misogyny, pain, aging, starvation, disease, oppression, cancer, rape, murder, torture, death, or war. Why can't Christians make valid analogies, FFS? It's like the fundamental premise underlying their worldview is false or something...

Theism is founded upon the assumed premises that a god actually exists and that such a god can be defined coherently enough to formulate a meaningful faith in it. Theism is a bait-and-switch exercise in offering begged questions as answers. Don't fall for the con.

This is why we can't have nice things—because some people are so deeply indoctrinated and deluded by the absurdities of religion that they've lost all sense of reality, living in a perpetual Upside-Down where they see EVERYTHING as confirmation of their false beliefs.

Religion was normalized in large part because science was not yet advanced enough to shine a light into the knowledge gaps where the absurdity of 'God' could potentially hide. Though theism will likely always exist, how long will it be before it's officially labeled as delusion?

If you need to put 'Patriot' in your bio, you probably aren't one.
