Thales

Thales thinks for the sake of thinking, trading his faith for reasonable doubt. He’s found that logic, unlike religion, needs not the naive to be its devout.—TT

@ThinkingAtheist This may seem pedantic, Mr or Mrs religious meme maker, but we atheist prefer the term “expansion.”

@NicholeMForbes @GodlessLiz Unless you’re gay, trans, or happen to be born into the wrong religion. Then Jesus will punish you to eternal damnation, which isn’t alright with me or any other moral person on the planet.

@GodlessLiz The truth actually set me free.

@BeatTheCult Everything that gave it meaning before I stopped believing in a god, minus the fairytale.

@JamesBradleyCA Forbidden? You appear to have a different definition of that word than the rest of us. You know, those of us who don’t feel the need to make exaggerated claims so things seem worse than they are, just to give a dumb conspiracy theory a smidgen of legitimacy?

INCREDIBLE imagines of the @spacex launch from a C-17 cockpit over the Atlantic Ocean. Thank you for the pictures @mavliocca

Happy anniversary to the biggest scandal of the Obama presidency.

@AlbertEinstein Photons have a zero mass. Since mass is what creates gravity by warping & curving space-time, light creates no gravity. As far as I know, at least.

WATCH: “SUCKS TO BE YOU”

EAST RIDGE, TN @CityofEastRidge police are out of control — getting sued for roughing up, even tasing a family without cause. Charges dropped, but the cops are still working. Two were sued for other abuse also.

@AWorldOutOfMind Holy shit, that is depressing.
But I suppose if the goal is to secure a child’s unwavering belief in a god & the bible, you’d better make damn sure their knowledge of physics never exceeds a 19th century cursory understanding of scientific principles.

You ever get a warm feeling & think: “everything’s gonna be okay. Eventually we’ll all come together, sing Kumbaya, & future generations can live & prosper in a country we’re all proud of”? Yeah me neither. We’re fucked if we don’t vote these shitbags out of office. @TitusNation

Any system propagating the idea that being gay is evil isn’t just “portrayed as archaic,” it IS archaic. Christian persecution in the West is a myth perpetuated by Christians because to be oppressed for one’s beliefs is seen as an honor in their archaic book. #Atheist #religion

[Family Research Council @FRCdc]

When foundational Christian beliefs about human dignity or sexuality are widely portrayed as archaic and damaging, it becomes easy to see why Christians have been targeted in many of these countries. https://t.co/Il6hFu3X30

It’s hard to not feel numb to the state of our country. The term ‘normal’ is denoted for the usual, typical, or the expected.. What happened at #HighlandPark is normal in the US now. If it wasn’t it’d be surprising when it happens, and it isn’t. #GunReformNow #GunViolenceinUS

This supernova is the 1st celestial event documented by ancient astronomers to end up being correlated w/ a historical supernova by modern astronomers. In this supernova, the progenitor star collapsed into a neutron star we
call the Crab Pulsar. #astronomy #Science #Astrophysics

[T. Marshall Eubanks @TM_Eubanks]

On this day in the year 1054, the Chinese witnessed and recorded a "guest star" appearing in the heavens. The remnants of this supernova are now known as the Crab Nebula. Because of this, we know the very day the pulsar formed.

We took my oldest daughter to adopt a kitten yesterday from the Humane Society. This is Melina. She’s a 3 month old fuzzy ball of pure adorable energy. She’s ohana now. 😊 🥰
