L.A. Liberty: Egypt: When R's and D's Agree →
laliberty:
Whenever Republicans and Democrats agree, it’s almost never for anything good. Typically, “bi-partisanship” is a code-word for more of your liberty or property to be taken away. As Andrew Napolitano always says, “We have one party; called the Big Government Party. The Republican wing likes…

All of my friends, and boyfriend, with curly hair hate their curls. I LOVE curls, and no one that has them appreciates what they have…..:-/
Why oh why was I afflicted with this hair that’s straighter than Chuck Norris while they get the sexiest hair on the planet?! God must truly hate us fags D:

Because it’s going to be:

Dog hanged after chewing Bible →
ih8religion:
Authorities have charged a US woman with felony animal cruelty, saying she hanged her nephew’s pit bull from a tree with an electrical cord and burned its body because the dog chewed on her Bible.
Animal control officers said 65-year-old Miriam Smith told them she killed a female dog named Diamond because it was a “devil dog” and she worried it could harm neighbourhood...

This is exactly why, as an atheist humanist, any children I may have in the future will know the Bible as well as, if not better than, me.

Sorry guys. This post might be difficult to navigate because blockquote refuses to fucking work. Weird shit is going on. So her statements are in plain text, mine are in bold. (Seriously though, never has reblogging anybody been this big a pain in the ass. I’m really pissed off at Tumblr right now.)

Crappy Christian apologetics
Trying to speak logically about the Christian religion with Christians is like trying to nail jello to a wall with a gun:
Someone’s bound to get hurt and nothing gets accomplished.

The problem of evil
I don’t believe in a god that can’t feed a starving child in Africa but can help you find a parking spot on Black Friday. I don’t believe in a god that allows unjustified suffering in this world and professes to love everyone and be omnipotent. If god exists, he is guilty of far more sins than any human to have ever lived.

Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is the shit for a couple reason.
She writes her own music
Admittedly her lyrics are repetitive, but at least they’re original.
She is more of a performance artist than a singer.
Her voice and the music itself isn’t so important. Her stage presence and performance are what make her great. She is a faux queen (a woman that dresses and acts like a drag queen). You go to a...

Sovereignty
I do not recognize any state as sovereign. A state may be legitimate or illegitimate deriving its authority from individual people, but there is no sovereign state or nation. The only entity that can properly be called sovereign is the individual human being. All powers, rights, and actions originate with the individual. And when a state or government body acts in such a way that the...

Biblical marriage
Let me preface this by saying that I live in the South, NC/SC border, so while a lot of you may not see this as relevant, it is almost always relevant here. Religion is huge in this area. There are churches right next to churches of very similar denominations, like Southern Baptist and Free Will Baptist. That’s how contentious religion can be where I’m from. Don’t like a dogma? Have about a...

White appropriation
I’ve been seeing a lot about white privilege and appropriation on my dashboard recently. Mostly in regards to hair styles like Mohawks and dreadlocks.
As to white privilege: I can understand that. I’m not sure if I agree it exists, but I’m not going to say it doesn’t. I’m agnostic on the issue and don’t really care.
As to appropriation of minority cultures:...
