More religious insanity!
wow, if this is what you need to tell yourself, you know, that’s fine, but at the same time…..
An atheist movement cannot be inclusive of atheist women… and also be inclusive of people who publicly call women ugly, fat, sluts, whores, cunts, and worse; who persistently harass them; who deliberately invade their privacy and make their personal information public; and/or who routinely threaten them with grisly violence, rape, and death.
An atheist movement cannot be inclusive of atheists of color… and also be inclusive of people who think people of color stay in religion because they’re just not good at critical thinking, who blame crime on dark-skinned immigrants, who think victims of racial profiling deserved it because they looked like thugs, and/or who tell people of color, “You’re pretty smart for a…”.
An atheist movement cannot be inclusive of trans atheists… and also be inclusive of people who think trans people are mentally ill or freaks of nature.
An atheist movement cannot be inclusive of atheists who are mentally ill… and also be inclusive of people who think mental illness is just a failure of willpower.
An atheist movement cannot be inclusive of poor atheists… and also be inclusive of people whose basic attitude to systematic poverty and economic injustice is, “Screw you, Jack, I’ve got mine.”

I went to church…
…for the first time today in months. I had to power walk it out of there. It was..hard to sit there and listen to everything. It all just pissed me off. Seriously my eyes started watering because I was getting so mad at all the bullshit. I’m sure the “bishops” could see it on my face. I was sitting in the front and I had a pretty good ‘wtf your all insane’ face on. ಠ_ಠ (pretty much my face the whole time)
It was just ridiculous.People were “speaking in tongues” without interpreters. I’m 99.8% sure it was just gibberish..they were probably high (a lot of red eyes out). I kid you not, a woman seriously screamed the entire time. T_T Do you know how fucking annoying that is???? Also the music was shit and the prayers were laughable.
The whole thing just pissed me off. Sooo why everyone is at the churchy thing,time to let off some steam and get my ps3 onnnn :]]
Of all the bullshit of religion, speaking in tongues has to be among the most laughable. I’m 100% sure it was gibberish. :)
This reminds me of this classmate I had who said she was ‘possessed’ last semester. She apparently started speaking in tongues randomly and didn’t even remember it and her friends just so happened to record it on her phone. She played it back for us in a Psychology class (which is pretty much the worst of all of the college classes to bring up that kind of thing in, IMO) and was all astonished about it. Like, “I didn’t even KNOW what I was doing or saying! It was like this for HOURS! IT WAS THE DEVIL POSSESSING ME, I KNOW IT.”
Yeah ok, lady.
