Carl Sagan on Astrology (Cosmos, episode 3)
“Virtually every newspaper in America has a daily column on Astrology. Almost none of them have even a weekly column on Astronomy”
Oh, UFO sightings are a serious matter that we’re not looking into?

Old Atheism vs. New Atheism
This sums it up pretty well, as far as I can tell.
Strong emphasis on the quotes

I don’t even know what this is referring to? Big bang or evolution……..Nonetheless, neither happened by chance alone; I can go outside and find a hundred dollar bill by chance, or, I can work my way up to a hundred dollars in a continuous chain of productive events.
You say chance, I say a fortuitous chain of biological, evolutionary, cosmological events. And yes, in all aspects of science there are positive/negative unexpected or accidental results - Our planet and the people in it are a result of this “chance”, ‘Goldilocks zone’ google it.
Don’t use “chance” as an excuse to stroke your religion boner. If you’re gonna fall prey to religion simply because you can’t explain something then go right ahead. Fucking hook, line, and sinker
“Everyone who has finished high school is smart enough to know that god is bullshit. The only reason most people keep faith is because of their upbringing, like me, they don’t want to upset or disappoint their parents, even at my age - I feel like I have to say I believe in something for them, but that’s where it ends - Religion is something that sticks when it’s not payed attention to early in life; we all know there is no such thing as a god”
Yesterday I found out my dad is a closeted agnostic……which is awesome. He told me this after a conversation we were having about how his brother (my uncle) is starting to become an extreme Christian, needless to say, it’s starting to annoy him.
9th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism
By: AronRaHad to post another amazing video by Aron Ra about the “missing links” and the human chain “connecting us” to apes.
“So where is the proof that humans descended from apes? How about the fact that we’re still apes right now!!!”
Women’s Rights
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them.But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing.Teach the young women to be … obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands.
ANYONE who isn’t sure about religion MUST listen to this. Especially Christians. Just sayin’.
Penn Jillette is my spirit animal. MUST LISTEN.
If you’ve ever stopped at a red light, you’re an atheist.
