Out of respect to those who have lost their lives in this terrible disaster, I will refrain from posting anything anti-religious regarding the tornado and in general until a later time. This is a time to appreciate life and take a moment to reflect on those who have died, those who are fighting to stay alive as I type this, and to the families and friends of those affected. Some places in this...
I havent seen the news for the last 3 hours. I can’t believe how many are now confirmed dead. I’m stunned. Man…The death of all those children. Im so sad.
Well here's a fucked up story
So there was this woman who purchased a lottery ticket last week in California and picked all the correct numbers. Problem is, she submitted the ticket an hour too late. Imagine if $363 million slipped through your fingers and how you would feel. Another interesting side story is that she claims that she “channeled” her deceased parents and got the numbers from them. I may not believe...
I know I brought this up yesterday but to anyone in tornado alley, you’re in my thoughts at this time. Stay safe. The damage I’ve seen on the news today is horrific…

Sooo Yahoo bought Tumblr for $1.1 Billion. I have no idea what the consequences of this will be.
Tornadoes touch down in Kansas, Oklahoma
(CNN) — Tornadoes touched down in two states on Sunday, ripping roofs off homes and turning trees to matchsticks, as severe weather swept the region.
A large “violent and extremely dangerous” tornado was spotted on the southwest side of Wichita, Kansas, moving northeast at about 30 miles per hour, the National Weather Service said.
A second confirmed tornado was seen near Edmond,...
Who lives in a tornado prone part of the US? And those who do, how would you protect yourself if one was heading towards you? Do you have a basement?
I see that some have touched down today in Kansas and Oklahoma and just had me wondering. Hope you guys are safe.

thefirstwordthatcomestomind asked: I completely agree with you that forceful indoctrination from a young age is completely fucked-up, but if someone finds that they believe in one faith or another of their own accord, surely they should have the right to believe and practice as they see fit without being criticized or ridiculed for it, so long as they aren't harming anyone else. I'm not religious myself and I completely...
strizzwald said: I’m pretty sure (and correct me if I’m wrong) that your anti-religious stance comes more from a lack of ignorance than from lack of courtesy.
I didn’t come here to be courteous :)
I came here to voice my opinions and anyone that agrees can follow. Sure beats going to religious facebook pages and insulting them there, which I see many atheists doing. This is something I...
barnrumpa asked: I've been following you for quite a while and i like your blog, you've posted some really interesting stuff about science and the universe, and finding one of your posts on my dash usually gave me a good read. But i'm really sick of the whole anti-religion thing you have where you bash on religious people, call them delusional and mock them. I've never seen someone so ignorant...
What books are you guys currently reading right now? I’m deviating from my “one book at a time” and taking on three books. The God Delusion, Secrets of Antigravity, and The Elegant Universe. I like the variety! Who knows how long this will take though :)
Interesting how billions of people have literally been obsessed with god their whole lives, yet treat the supposed god’s creations like shit; Earth and it’s inhabitants. If god created us all then why are you showing no respect for many of god’s other creations?
Autotheist Movement II: Emancipate
An atrophied frame by an impotent rapture sustained A god you will truly never see “Thou shalt” unfurling in the wind Rising above with an “I will” The shrouded impulse of your self preservation A flash of the fearful wickedness inside Phantoms dreamt to life by the desperately lost Despisers of life bound in other worldly hopes Voices from above Mere delusions of shame and...
To thescientistsjournal: I appreciate your comment, although I’m not sure if you are being serious as you ended with, “I cannot agree with you”. And in no way am I criticizing you, but given your tumblr name, I am really surprised to see so much about astrology, which isn’t science. Just for my knowledge, how do you reconcile the two?
As new generations of young people enter this world, I seriously would love if they would abandon this notion that just wishing, hoping, or praying is going to do anything at all for your own personal cause. It’s like ingrained in many people’s minds that something magical could happen if they just wish for it. How did this happen? Because every now and then something good happens to...
I was just vividly daydreaming about what it would be like to be ripped apart by a black hole. I need to get out more.
“When science is widely seen as an integral part of what makes us human, our own...”

Autotheist Movement I: Create
I consummate this realm through the vision I possess I rise above consecrated imposition The pious flame A flame extinguished from the mind I will create a new reality No creator in the heavens above (I am the lightning) Rest your weary mind No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy) I have realized I am God I will descend to the depths of man Proclaim to the void Emptying my cup The...
Huge Rock Crashes Into Moon, Sparks Giant...
The moon has a new hole on its surface thanks to a boulder that slammed into it in March, creating the biggest explosion scientists have seen on the moon since they started monitoring it.
The meteorite crashed on March 17, slamming into the lunar surface at a mind-boggling 56,000 mph (90,000 kph) and creating a new crater 65 feet wide (20 meters). The crash sparked a bright flash of light that...
