Where the lamp is thrown out and you feel bad for it because there’s sad music and then it starts to rain and shit? And it’s just sitting out on the curb in the trash all *sad lamp* and then the text comes up.
And it says: “Why are you feeling sorry for a lamp? It’s just a…

When I was 16 years old, I was raped at knife-point by a stranger. Not having a clue how to handle it, I decided to confide first of all in my pastor. While I was literally still bleeding from the attack, he told me (and I quote) “It’s too bad that you didn’t force him to kill you instead. That way you could have at least died a virgin.” That was the sum...

Oh, Bieber. I love how his mom is an authority on what fairytales do or don’t exist.
“My mom always told me there wasn’t a Santa,” Bieber says in a new interview with AOL Music. “This was her logic: She thought if I grew up knowing about Santa then finding out he wasn’t real, that it would be like she was lying to me. And then when she told me about God, I...

Rape culture is when men feel so entitled to have access to women that they throw bowling balls at us when they are denied.
Wow. Unfortunately, this kind of thing happens far too often. I had a guy throw a rock at me (which hit me) after I politely refused to give him my number. We’ve all been grabbed before. Guys think they have the right...

“In science it often happens that scientists say, “You know that’s a really good argument; my position is mistaken,” and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn’t happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot...

“If the Judeo-Christian god want us to believe in him, why doesn’t he: 1. Do to each of us what he allegedly did to Saul on the road to Damascus? 2. Become incarnate and perform public miracles at every generation, as he allegedly did to Moses and as Jesus? 3. Spontaneously…

“Look how your children grow up. Taught from their earliest infancy to curb their...”
– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe)
The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.

My name is Mindy Radabaugh, and I am a 22 year old college student from Ottawa, Ohio. A few years ago, I was a believer that abortion was wrong. I was always taught that abortion was something horrible. I couldn’t imagine anyone who would be willing to make that decision. I believed that if you weren’t responsible enough to have a child, you didn’t need to...

To the theist who just sent me the nasty little Anon message, this is my reply you. Maybe if you grew the courage to stop being anon, we could talk, but I highly doubt it. From the tone of you little rant, I’m going to assume that you won’t be stepping up to the plate any time soon. Regardless, I…

tumblingatheist:
It’s something I’m sure we’ve all heard. This absurd notion that atheists have no moral compass, or that they have no reason to be good, as they have no one to whom they must answer for their bad deeds. Why is this nonsense allowed to persist? Why is it that so many…
