We have all heard it before, religious folks pointing to the signs of “moral decay” in our society as an indication of things to come. Most often, these folks are foreshadowing the end of our world, and the return of Christ to save the believers and to damn the non-believers.
For the non-believers, when they ask how these folks are so certain of our impending doom, they are responded to with biblical prophecies. Some come from Isaiah and some come from Revelation, but the general tone is almost always the same. …

I don’t have any facts to back that up, I just used it as a pretty graphic illustration of how much people can’t stand to openly talk about religion. Sorry for getting your hopes up if you were expecting facts about people pooping in public.
Something like 80% of people in this country consider themselves to be Christian, and yet by my own estimation, I’d say about 2% of this segment (yes, I’m saying only one out of 50 Christians) will actually openly discuss their religious beliefs.
I get the sense that …

I may have listened to Superstition by Stevie Wonder about sixty gabillion times in my life, but like most songs I listen to, I just liked the sound and barely paid much attention to the actual lyrics. I mean I knew most of the words, but it just never dawned on me that this was almost an unintentional atheist anthem of sorts until I actually read the lyrics:

Now I’m pretty sure that Stevie didn’t mean …

This is actually very simple stuff. It only gets complicated when people try and justify their beliefs by adding a ton of extra nonsensical things into the equation.

When I say ‘we’, I mean Christians included. No one can be perpetually naive and gullible as to believe everything anyone says. Humans naturally use discretion…some are just more consistent with their discretion than others.
That’s why people don’t believe …

I’m not even going to try and hide it that I’m hatin’ on the guy. He’s incredibly successful at what he does and has made a ton of money in the process. This isn’t necessarily a knock on Tyler Perry the man, but just these incredibly wack TV shows that TBS is promoting like they’re the funniest thing since Afro Ninja.
I’ve seen a couple of his movies and they were actually pretty funny but that’s got nothing to do with the fact that these two TV shows — House of …

You know that feeling you get when someone asks you whether or not you believe in a place where people you know and possibly love will burn in excruciating pain for all eternity? Well, that feeling is your morality telling you something’s not quite right. But wait! How could your own personal sense of morality be at odds with what the Bible says…if that’s where you get your morals from? The simple answer, of course, is that humanity developed/evolved into its own moral code that has nothing to do with …
