So at this point I only ever go on Tumblr to find .gifs or post stuff that I can’t really post on Facebook. Here is the latter.
How can you possibly honor a dead man, call them “one of the greatest,” and then put yourself in your god’s shoes and say they can’t ever be forgiven and will go straight to hell? I’m so tired of religious people who have a giant, self-righteous dick up their ass. There’s no arguing with them because pointing out any logical fallacy or failure in their ideology immediately results in the “they’re not a real Christian” bullshit.
One of the things I always kept in mind after realizing I was atheist was that I should never put down other people’s religions or say they’re “wrong” in their thinking; everyone should be respectful of every religion. But in the last year I’ve found it increasingly difficult to resist the urge of militant atheism or even anti-theism when all around me I constantly see the negative effects of religion. I know I shouldn’t group all religious people together, and I don’t, but I can’t shrug off the feeling that the world would be a better place if all the supernatural and patriarchal values of religion were no longer pervasive or accepted by society.
Also, if you like/share any of those “like if you love Jesus, keep scrolling if you love Satan” pictures on Facebook, it takes every ounce of willpower I have to not hate you. I know you’re a good person. BUT WHY. WHY U DO DAT.
People on the UF c/o 2016 are posting these bio/survey type things. I thought this one in particular was worth sharing. I’d make it a photo set to avoid four posts, but I can’t on my phone. Enjoy.
Five facts:
1. ACTA isn’t the “European” SOPA. It’s nearly GLOBAL, and will apply to every country that signs the treaty.
2. ACTA is far more aggressive. ACTA will not simply affect websites and have them blocked out of the internet - its measures go as far as surveillance of anything you share through private channels.
3. ACTA doesn’t have a campaign against it that is as wide-spread and organized as the SOPA one. This is DANGEROUS, as there’s less time between now and the final signing of ACTA.
4. ACTA has effects on healthcare, trade, and even tourism.
5. ACTA has to be stopped.
Let’s start spreading the word and organizing a good, solid response to it.
