Think about it

“Since all faith claims are equal in their unverifiability, then anyone can say whatever they want about God.

That is not scholarship. That is theology, which is itself a pseudo-scholarly discipline with no referent other than oneself - because all views of God cannot be shown to be anything beyond one’s own opinion.

Any statement about God is an act of self-deification.”

Animal of the Day!

Antarctic Toothfish (Dissostichus mawsoni)

(Photo in Public Domain)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Southern Ocean

Size (Weight/Length)- 130 kg; 2 m

Diet- Shrimp; Squid; Small fish; Crabs

Cool Facts- The Antarctic toothfish is the largest fish to live in the southern ocean’s subzero waters. Despite having a tooth filled mouth, these toothfish are not sharks and eat mostly shrimp and squid. Antarctic toothfish rarely eat, so they create mass fat reserves after feasting on shrimp blooms allowing them to not eat for weeks at a time. Despite the freezing waters these fish live in, they aren’t fazed. Instead the Antarctic toothfish creates antifreeze in its blood despite its body temperature barely exceeding freezing. As these toothfish are the topic fish predator in the southern ocean, scientists use their presence to estimate the health of the entire ecosystem.

Rating- 12/10 (Me too, Antarctic toothfish. Me too.)

Animtober- Gear (Adapted for its environment.)

“There are no great religions. They’re all stupid and dangerous and we should insult them, and we should be able to insult whatever we want. That is what free speech is like.”

“Everything I’ve ever written about religion’s harm boils down to one thing:

Religion is ultimately dependent on belief in invisible beings, inaudible voices, intangible entities, undetectable forces, and events and judgments that happen after we die.

It therefore has no reality check.”

“If you don’t think you’re close-minded for not believing in Zeus, then please don’t accuse atheists of being close-minded for not believing in your god.”

September 30 is Blasphemy Day.

“Blasphemy: A law to stop an all-powerful, supernatural deity from getting its feelings hurt.”

– Ricky Gervais

Because punishing real people in order to protect imaginary people just makes all the sense in the world.

September 30 is International Blasphemy Day.

“If you believe in Thor or Odin, people will die laughing

But believing in a guy who turned water into wine, and walked on a lake, is entirely fine.”
