Atheism

I feel personally like I've been beating this drum for a long time, and I get giddy when I hear someone else express the same sentiment.

Hijacking The Brain and Connecting With The Natural Self (without magical thinking or supernatural beliefs of any kind)

Kristen Browde has amassed over 380,000 followers on TikTok by debunking the anti-LGBTQ+ “groomer” myth, and no one is more shocked by her success on the platform than she is. “TikTok is supposed to be this app where teenagers do dance moves, but it turns out it's an incredibly effective political organizing tool,” she tells Them in an interview. “I am delighted that people are finding this useful information and are sharing it.”

Browde, an attorney and former correspondent for CBS News, posts weekly videos aggregating local media reports of children being targeted by sexual predators, sourced from keyword searches on Google and DuckDuckGo, as well as tips from followers. (She posts all her data at her website WhoIsMakingNews.com, where it's available for anyone to download.) In the six months since she created her first TikTok video, she has noticed a continuing trend: that very few of the perpetrators who are being arrested for preying on kids are drag queens or trans people, the targets du jour of the right. Instead, Browde found that the individuals who are responsible for the vast majority of reported incidents hail from the very groups pointing the finger at the LGBTQ+ community, from religious leaders to Republican politicians. “They’re the ones who are committing the crimes,” she says. “They’re the ones who are doing this.”

Rest in peace Sinéad. Your horror has ended.

Just to be clear, I'm not a professional 'quote maker'. I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.

'In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.'

A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon's artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries' because "our society is a Judeo-Christian society."

Written thousands of years ago by ancient lunatics whose ignorance is completely understandable. Believed as truth today by morons who have no excuse for being that fucking stupid.
