“Just do good”
this is literally what i have been saying since i was born
four for you Pope Francis, you go Pope Francis

I’m so happy right now.

So we’ve gone from a man with so many skeletons in his closet it probably made sounds like a xylophone when he got out his vestments every morning…
…to a chill guy who says “yo don’t be a dick and we’re cool man.”
This pope, I like him.

I’ve been thinking this for years; it’s not what you believe or don’t believe, it’s what you do that really matters in the end.
@ “four for you Pope Francis, you go Pope Francis”
I haven’t been keeping up… what are the other three things he did?
I know, I’m a very bad Catholic DX

I think it might be the “Glen Coco” reference from “Mean Girls”! =0

Consider how textbooks treat Native religions as a unitary whole. The American Way describes Native American religion in these words: “These Native Americans [in the Southeast] believed that nature was filled with spirits. Each form of life, such as plants and animals, had a spirit. Earth and air held spirits too. People were never alone. They shared their lives with the spirits of nature.” Way is trying to show respect for Native American religion, but it doesn’t work. Stated flatly like this, the beliefs seem like make-believe, not the sophisticated theology of a higher civilization. Let us try a similarly succinct summary of the beliefs of many Christians today: “These Americans believed that one great male god ruled the world. Sometimes they divided him into three parts, which they called father, son, and holy ghost. They ate crackers and wine or grape juice, believing that they were eating the son’s body and drinking his blood. If they believed strongly enough, they would live on forever after they died.” Textbooks never describe Christianity this way. It’s offensive. Believers would immediately argue that such a depiction fails to convey the symbolic meaning or the spiritual satisfaction of communion.

It’s hilarious because a bunch of atheists are actually antitheists but they claim to be atheists.

PROTIP:

  • atheist = lacking faith in any particular religion/believing there is no higher power
  • antitheist = opposition to religion in all forms (often aggressive)
  • ATHEIST =/= ANTITHEIST

Feathered Dinosaurs Drive Creationists Crazy
Biblical literalists are on a campaign to “take dinosaurs back.”
The dinosaurs of our childhood aren’t around anymore. The sluggish, swamp-bound pea-brains that haunted museum halls and trundled through picture books have been eviscerated by agile, hot-blooded, and, often, feathery dinosaurs that more accurately reflect what Tyrannosaurus rex and kin were actually like. What’s more, thanks to a heap of lovely fossils, we now know that even the most fearsome of the tyrant dinosaurs were closely related to the avian dinosaurs—the birds—that flit around our backyards today.
