Though she didn’t send me the wine. That was a gift from the Imagine No Religion conference. And an aptly named on, too – Big Bang wine from Blasted Church winery.
Guess I’ll have to refrain from blogging for the next hour or so…
Well, I’ve converted
There was just a minor earthquake during Mr. Deity’s talk. THEY WERE RIIIGGGHHHTTTT!
EDIT: It was a 3.6. This is a big deal for a midwesterner!
THEY WERE RIGHT!
Raptured: Mr. Deity, Rebecca Watson, Greta Christina, Ashley Paramore, David Byars, and me. Who would have thought.
The Rapture is here!!!!
I don’t think any of us atheists are getting raptured, but it was pretty awesome for Jesus to at least stop by and say hello. What a nice guy.
Atheists to the rescue post-rapture!
By now you certainly know the Rapture is scheduled for May 21st. I hope all of you godless heathens have found a bomb shelter and stored some bottles of water in preparation for the destruction that’s about to wrack the earth – because let’s face us, none of us are getting into heaven.
(Is that not the best logo ever? Seriously, I’m proud of my group’s design skills)
“While the world is tortured in this terrible Apocalypse, who better to help the world than atheists? Elite squads of godless heathens, who already live all over the Puget Sound, will help bring people out of the rubble and rebuild their lives. The Post-Apocalyptic Pony Express will help restore communication service by carrying letters across the tattered remains of civilization, giving humanity hope with the sight of the cutest ponies money can buy.
Of course, it’s always possible that these religious zealots are wasting enormous amounts of money, time and life with a gigantic fearmongering campaign. It’s happened before. On the off chance that they are completely wrong, Jesus doesn’t come back, and life continues as normal, we will do our part to help the next generation avoid getting into this heartbreaking situation themselves.
If there is a universe left after all this, Camp Quest West, which teaches children critical thinking and science, will receive a check. Why, you ask? Because when children know how to think for themselves, they don’t get taken in by every terrible idea that comes across their desk.”
Isn’t this a fabulous idea? Though I have to admit, now I’m kind of hoping the Rapture does happen, if it means getting my own pony.
You can donate here. Buy Jen a pony if the rapture happens, help freethinking children if it doesn’t. It’s a win-win situation!
The Empire Hearts Moms
This comic shop is right by my apartment and across from the bus stop I stand at every day – but it usually doesn’t look this lively.
Hopefully the Force reminded you to call your mom today.
It’s Good Friday, Friday
I love blasphemy:

Quotes revealed, with context
We have a winner! Chris Hayduk-Costa matched the atheists to their quotes correctly, with the following logic:
The only statements I can see Dawkins saying (as a result of his normal speech and reading of hatemail) are 1 and 4. From reading Jen’s blog for a year, I would only feel comfortable attributing 1 or 2 to her. Given the options already proven wrong (if I’ve gone through them properly) the above is the only answer left (assuming my assumptions hold obviously).
The answers, with context, as as follows:
1. “I feel like a prostitute!”
Said by Richard Dawkins, after finding out that 10 more students registered for the conference after finding out that they could effectively pay to have a private breakfast with him. Wish I had a recording.
2. “Now, back to buttfucking!”
Said by yours truly, after a conversation with Greta and JT about…well, buttfucking got sidetracked because JT had to make a phone call.
3. “Eat a bag of dicks!”
Said by JT Eberhard, after Greta was rubbing it in about how great being a lesbian is and how bad we have it. It was extra funny because he didn’t initially realize how that particular saying related to the situation at hand.
4. “Eat shit and die!”
Said by Greta Christina, after JT and I were whining about having to wake up at 7am to go have our private fancy breakfast with Richard Dawkins.
I love how most people correctly guessed that the only plausible thing for Dawkins to say was number 1, unless he was reading hate mail. But I love more that pretty much everyone assumed Greta had to be the one talking about buttfucking. I tricked you, mwahaha!
Atheist conferences are so fun.
A practical argument for the hijab
Seen at the Seattle airport: A woman using her hijab to keep her phone wedged against her ear so she could keep her hands free.
I don’t agree with the arguments from modesty, but from practicality? Hmm….
Best atheist conference ever
Greta Christina has the schedule up for the Very Big Atheist Conference of 2012, which will be held in Devil’s Corner, WI. I have to say, the lineup is amazing – you should check it out. I mean, Post-Diversity Panel Infuriated Smackdown and Horizontal Networking? So glad I’m a part of it.
Seriously though, go read it. I laughed my ass off.
…Is it bad that I’m disappointed this conference doesn’t exist?
