This should be a test for people to be able to use the internet.

Notes From a Unicorn →
bisexual-community:
I wanted to join a team so I wouldn’t have to answer any more questions, so I wouldn’t have to say that I preferred one or the other or whether I exist or if I’m a unicorn or how I can ever hope to be monogamous if I’m attracted to more than one gender. But I failed to choose a side …

Walls
I have the preternatural power to see through walls. Not your walls; don’t worry. I mean I can see through my own walls of isolation. Your walls don’t actually exist. They are an illusion which you have cherished so long that you’ve forgotten the time before you imagined them. But I was around then, and I never forget anything. I can’t see through your walls, because...

Why does God hide?
It has always seemed to me that God, if He existed, would be self-evident, and impossible not to believe in. Job wrestled with Him. Moses met Him on a mountaintop. Right? He should not be able to hide from us, yet He is nowhere to be found. If God exists as He is described by believers, there should be no way to doubt it. But doubt is in the mind of all but the insane. He should be staring...

Religion is very useful.
Once, religion was a tool to control peasants and slaves (you’ll have pie in the sky, by and by, but only if you are “good”). And to give soldiers some rationale for slaughter (in hoc signo vinces). It still finds such uses in some quarters of the world, but the latest use for religion is as a tool for puppet-masters to test populations for the trait of gullibility, and to limit...

non-atheist:
It’s curious that most atheists are happy to say science explains everything yet when the question raised falls outside of science they’re just as happy to frustratingly say it’s not science’s job to explain that!
It’s convenient to have a worldview that supposedly explains everything so long as it’s not forced to actually do so.
Oh, and to say science...

Behind the times.
I am an ambulatory anachronism. Or more precisely, I tend to amble in the course of doing my anachronistic job. In this information age, this era of instant electronic communication, when a message can flash from sender to recipient at light-speed, I instead move information at an average speed of two miles per hour. Not digitized collections of pixels, but leaves of paper, folded, wrapped, and...

deconversionmovement:
An Inuit hunter asked the local missionary priest: “If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?” “No,” said the priest, “not if you did not know.” “Then why,” asked the Inuit earnestly, “did you tell me?”
— Annie Dillard, from Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
