I do not knock on people’s doors and if I did knock on doors so that I could proselytize against god, it would be considered so incredibly rude as to merit active campaigns against my activities.

This is a re-post of a story that reddit user assfly0 posted in the atheism subreddit, which I thought was so good that I wanted to share it with as many more people as possible. Enjoy!

A new atheist bus ad is going up in Chicago soon. This one I really like. It especially gives new meaning to the tired idea of Intelligent Design. “Intelligent Design – the idea that man invented an intelligent creator to explain away all the things otherwise unexplainable at the time” Now that’s a philosophy I could get [ READ MORE ]
Atheist Revolution wrote a pretty good definition of what atheism is really about, what the term atheist really means, but missed out on explaining one of the most frequently misunderstood concepts of atheism: the strong atheist. An atheist is simply an individual who do not hold the theistic belief claim (i.e., that god or gods exist) This [ READ MORE ]
