University
kicks back in this week. Lots of Freshers to throw business cards at and an
Atheist & Agnostic Society stall to man. Things are going to get busy.
The good
Reverend Emily Heath has a lovely little article about how to determine whether
your faith or religion is being actively persecuted or whether you’re just an
asshole.
I
understand that a lot of non-believers across the pond in the USA are disappointed with the
Democrats’ backpeddling on the religious references in their Convention this
election. Sadly that’s the nature of politics, friends; appealing to voters as
much as possible will always trump ideological stances. It’s the same the world
over.
Atheist
blogger Jen McCreight has decided to stop her blog in the face of this
Atheism+, ‘fuck those Freethought Blog guys’ shenanigans that continues to rage
across the internet. I didn’t always agree with everything McCreight had to
say, but I’m truly sorry that this controversy has ruined something she
previously enjoyed doing. There’s no other way to say it; that fucking sucks.
And
finally remember kids, dressing up in a Ghillie suit in an attempt to pretend to be Bigfoot might sound like a really cool idea. But when it ends with you
standing in the middle of a highway in camouflage gear you really shouldn’t be
surprised if you wind up getting hit by a car.
It sucks that Jen got that much trolling, but that's the Internet. She should get over it and carry on if she believes in what she's doing.
ReplyDeleteWomen are too emotional. (and this is why I don't have enough feminist cred to be an Atheism Plus guy)
