Hilarious. Emailers prank a live Christian talk show with alternative stories of... "faith." He has no clue.

Non-Believers Giving Aid

Non-Believers Giving Aid;

Here's an excellent blog post by PZ Meyers describing some of the efforts made by non-theists to help relieve the situation in Haiti. If you're thinking about donating to the cause, and many of you are, please consider donating through the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science so that your donation will achieve maximum effectiveness via a source not affiliated with religion.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Dumb church sign

What the fuck? A direct goddamn shot at us. This is a picture of a church sign that's a few streets away from our apartment. The dumbasses don't even know how to spell ATHEIST.

Jee, so this is what it's like to not exist. My boyfriend Justin doesn't exist either. Or all the members of the Atheist & Free Thought Club at ETSU. Or my former philosophy teacher Paul Tudico. Or the actor Ian McKellen (the dude that played Gandalf in the LOTR movies). Or Seth MacFarlene (creator of Family Guy and American Dad). The list can go so far on. I'm just glad to fucking know we don't exist.

I lol'd at string theory

Hiring a speaker to come to ETSU....

As some of you may know... each semester, the Honors College hires a speaker to come to campus.

The ones I can remember off the top of my head, while I have been a student here, are Douglas Rushkoff (www.rushkoff.com) and Dr. Niall Shanks (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niall_Shanks).

So we're deciding who to try to hire for next semester... and I can't really think of anyone.  Also, I think it would look a little suspicious to bring in another atheist after Dr. Shanks.

If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to communicate them to me in some form.  

To hell with "feel free."  Please email me, because I got nothing so far.

Have a good godless day,

Oh noes!

Dirty Pic of the Week

***Note***
These will be "SFW" (safe for work) due to the fact that this page is associated with an ETSU club (somehow I think adult images might violate some random rule about clubs) and some of you may access this blog from the computer lab or equally public location. I'd hate to add more causation for damnation in addition to the giant "atheists" in the blog title. ;)

(Oh, and I promise I'll actually post something more, y'know, intellectual in the future.)

A thread on etiquettehell.com on how to politely discourage those who might try to convert you:

Of course, there are more blunt responses than those listed there, but there are some good ones in this thread if you're opting for the high road.
