what proof do you have that god exists?

I'm an atheist, why would I be concerned with proving the existence of some deity?

Despite major sponsors pulling their support from this year's Toronto Pride festivities, one advocate says that it might actually be a chance to put a new focus on Pride's raison d'etre. "The focus of Pride as an overall event must be ... the people," Nicki Ward, an advocate who's worked on 2SLGBTQ+ housing and disability issues in Canada for over 25 years, told CBC Radio's Day 6. "Maybe it's time for a little more authenticity. And if company XYZ doesn't want to get involved, well then, too bad."

You know what I'm gonna COMPLAIN!

Vanilla sex isn't "wholesome sex"! Sex is not more pure just because it's done within the framework of a monogamous relationship and free from elements of kink!

"Person is so pure they probably don't even know what sex is." Purity isn't defined by the distance from sex! As if the more a person encounters sex in any context the less pure their soul becomes!

You🫵are not immune to propagating the beliefs and ideas of purity culture!

I hate Israel because of the decades of warcrimes, double standards, genocide, and blatantly racist behavior that is excused because of holocaust guilt and white western chauvinism and I cannot wait for its downfall.

Imagine having been born in 1905... And all your life it doesn't fucking stop. The Great War, the Spanish Flu, and then you go out of your mind for 7 years. Everyone is traumatised and nothing matters. Then another crash. And then the rise of fascism, and the War to end all Wars didn't and it's 1945 and you're just about still there. You may have fought or ferried the boys from Dunkirk or sabotaged the Nazi occupiers or worked in the factories and put out fires during the Blitz and you're lucky to be alive, because not all your friends made it. But you are and finally, fucking finally, it stops. It stops. You are tough as nails and you can put that strength to work into building something and you do, and people have cars and can buy icecream and you have a pension fund and the kids have money of their own and no nightmares.

I want that for us. I so want that for us. I want to be the generation that has seen fucking everything and is like a MRSA bug and unfazed and when that Cheeto finally dies, I want us to. Plant the gardens and clean the seas because we can and we want to and we remember some joy, some time of trust even when it got broken and we can say to the 20 somethings "let us show you what we can build, how it can feel."

And maybe Gen beta will take it all for granted like the boomers did, but we can give Gen Z and Alpha some peace because we, and Gen Z and Alpha have seen the Dark Times and fuck that noise.

this reddit post is so good.

a trans guy who is also a butch who dates both men and women-- I aspire to be like this. oh, to play 5d chess with gender.

[apostate-in-an-alcove]

exhausted from being forced to fight for my continued existence / reminding myself of truths the government can't change: gender variance exists all through nature and history, our differences are valuable and wonderful, we’ve always been here and always will be.

Alberta's measles outbreaks have now eclipsed the 1,000-case mark and infectious disease specialists are warning the virus is "impossible to contain," given the current level of transmission. The province reported another 24 cases on Friday, including 14 in the north zone, nine in the south and one in the Edmonton zone. This brings the total confirmed cases since the outbreaks began in March to 1,020.

Canadians whining and crying that Trudeau and the Liberals ruined this country when Stephen fucking Harper and Brian Mulroney are RIGHT THERE.

Men will bend over backwards to defend rape and domestic violence and you morons want me to give a fuck about the mental health of those animals????? Rot in hell.

I don't know who needs to hear this but being autistic doesn't make you superior to anyone; you're just an asshole and that's why no one likes you or wants to talk to you. Hope this helps!!!!!!

[apostate-in-an-alcove]

this might sound stupid but I can’t help but believe that the new wave of “birth control is actually horrible for your body, you need to get off it immediately” misinformation from influencers and the ‘natural cycle tracking’ apps suddenly being advertised is a sneaky underhanded way of causing more unplanned pregnancies that people now cannot abort. now is possibly the worst time ever to turn towards ‘natural family planning’

A 14 year old girl flushing her miscarriage down the toilet can be charged with mutilating a corpse, but keeping a dead woman on life support for 120 days then cutting her open to extract a 2 pound fetus because her dead body was decaying too fast to sustain the pregnancy any longer is not only legal but compelled by law. America/the world/men hate women so much.

Hate living in a timeline where more and more idiots are unironically defending and sympathizing with fucking ADOLF HITLER of all people.

There's something about atheism that I've repeatedly tried and failed to put into words on several posts on this blog but I think I finally got it.

Atheists are the only religious minority who, even (or sometimes even *especially*) in ostensibly progressive spaces are not allowed to ever act like they're sure of their beliefs.
