Atheism

This whole channel is pretty damn funny. Very dirty songs that sound like they were (mostly) recorded in the 50s and 60s.

(Wasn't sure if 'Fucking' was allowed in the title.)

Did some chit chat with ChatGPT on religion.

Came on the conclusion that freedom of religion grants the right to follow whatever belief they want as long as it's not causing significant damage to society and it doesn't undermine other fundamental rights. Which gives room for religions to flourish which do not do any immediate harm but as more people join in it start putting burden on society's resources without returning any real value.

Project 2025 is a plan spearheaded by Heritage Foundation, a Christian Right juggernaut, for controlling (and in some cases dismantling) federal agencies in the event that a Republican wins the presidency.

If Christianity is man made, why does everything about it go against man’s desires? Does Christianity go against man’s desires? If so, is that evidence for Christianity? I answer this question, discussing the history of Christianity, the cognitive science of religion, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, and more.

The whole “atheists can’t answer this question” and “atheists can’t explain this” thing is really getting old.

I held on to hope that this would be satire way too long. Then I remembered what group I was on.

I like to let Spotify leave my playlist and just have it play whatever so I can add new songs to my playlist.

But from time to time it'll play songs from some religious band (Usually Christian rock or Christian rap or something). The annoying part is it'll sound pretty good, until I start paying attention to the lyrics and then I realize it's a propaganda song lol and have to block the artist and move on.

Anybody know of a good list of religious artists on Spotify so I can write a script to block them ahead of time? (Or even better an existing FOSS project to do just that lol)

Oglaf from a couple Sundays ago. ( source ). Less about the issue of theism so much as theocratic rule, but applicable to past and present.

Michaela School was entitled to enforce a ban on prayer rituals, the High Court has ruled.

Salem police said someone threw an explosive device onto the porch of the Satanic Temple.

At the turn of the century, the following letter was sent to Dr. Laura, a US radio personality who regularly and publicly deemed homosexuality to be a “mistake of nature.” A copy of the letter soon reached the masses, and now we bring it to you.

Comedian and writer Sara Pascoe joined us to read it at Letters Live at London's Royal Albert Hall in March 2023.

I was laughing and laughing at this. The private family gathering part is my favorite.

Incidentally, the whole channel is amazing. Live readings by notable people of interesting letters of all sorts. Apparently it's produced by Benedict Cumberbatch. He does read more letters than anyone else on the site.
