Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 18 notes

dangermann asked: My favorite creationist line is, "if there's no oxygen in space, then how does the sun burn?"

I have heard that one from people being legitimately said! It is horrible, especially the dumb founded looks of shock and awe if I reply with “Well…it doesn’t actually burn, it’s a series of nuclear reactions that produces radiation and heat.” For some reason since they can’t grasp the concept it makes me sound like a crazy ridiculous fool to say it.

That and the whole “If the earth was 10 feet closer or 10 feet farther away life wouldn’t exist on earth!” That one drives me absolutely nuts. Simply pointing out that the Earth’s rotation is elliptical and the average distance from the sun can vary far more than 10 feet at different times of the year doesn’t seem to change their minds. They still think “It’s a miracle!!!”
