This is a Godless place.

Atheism for the win.

skepticalavenger: rationalatheism: I don’t know whether to laugh or drop my head in shame of this member of our species. Forget the fact that this person would conceive god allowing thousands of starving children to die around the world every day, but bless them with enough milk to get their recipe to turn out right… there’s not exactly 2/3 cup of milk- IT CAME UP SHORT… look at it. This is a classic example of religiocentric indoctrination; a person “seeing” the works of god for those in their compartmentalized belief system without consideration of those outside of it. And our species will truly succeed only when this type of thinking has gone the way of alchemy and witch trials. -Rationalatheism Now THIS is the kind of hard, solid, incontrovertible evidence that I’m talking about!  There is NO F**KING way this could have been a coincidence!  It HAD to be the space aliens that beamed exactly that amount into her carton! I guess this is the undeniable evidence people… - Robin

Homo sapiens has been on the planet for at least a hundred thousand years. In order to be Christian, you have to believe that for 98,000 years, our species suffered and died, most of its children dying in childbirth, most people having a life expectancy of about 25; famine, struggle, bitterness, war, suffering, misery, all of that. For 98,000 years, heaven watches it with complete indifference. And then 2000 years ago, it thinks, ‘That’s enough of that, it’s time to intervene. The best way to do this would be by condemning someone to a human sacrifice, somewhere in the less literate parts of the Middle East. Let’s not appear to the Chinese where people can read, study evidence, and have a civilization. Let’s go to the desert and have a revelation there.’ This is nonsense. It can’t be believed by a thinking person.

Christopher Hitchens (via halfprincesshalfgoddess)

While I can’t say that I have any sympathy for Young Earth Creationists, I can at least see why they are so desperate to hold on to their beliefs.  Virtually every traditional concept behind Christianity falls apart when one considers evolution the true age of the universe.
