If you're not aware of what Roseanne said of atheists on Twitter I'd advise reading these excellent blogs before continuing with this one.

Okay, now my own encounter, which is in the form of an open letter to Roseanne.

Oh Go To Hell!
I've not updated this blog in quite a while as, to quote a Sister Hazel track, life got in the way, but I've decided it's time I pester you to read my mind's meanderings again as I need to get something off my chest. It's not a long one (oh shush!)

Excrutiating Ezekiel Excretions
The following was
posted on a Facebook page, “Atheism, Satanism, and Humanism vs.
Biblical Christianity”, by Penny Amanda Stone, who I have
mentioned before on this blog. The content of the picture, a quote
from Ezekiel, needs a response.

Anti-theism Justified Again
Another wonderful
example of why I am increasingly anti-theist, because theism can lead
to the type of morally bankrupt thinking we will see here.

9/11 Eleven Years On
I write this eleven
years to the day since terrorists decided to hijack several jets and
crash them, along with the hundreds of innocent passengers, into US
buildings, an act that would take the lives of thousands and leave
the world shaken and facing an uncertain future. In those eleven
years it appears we have learned very little.

Shrek Goes Full Fucktard
This is incredible, even by creationist debating standards this is beyond crazy. Enjoy!

Christians, Hypothetically Speaking
Why is it that I've
rarely found a Christian on Facebook who understands how
hypothetical questions work? Seriously, it's like they've never
encountered such a concept. I've asked different hypothetical
questions on multiple occasions and almost without fail the responses
from the Christian contingent completely misunderstand how the damn
things work.

Playing The Christian Persecution Card
I was accused of having a demon inside
me today. Why? Because I had the audacity to ask a question of a
Christian on Facebook and expect an answer. How very dare I be so
inconsiderate!?

Still more Twittering for Jesus
Hmmm, it would seem my previous blog entry was premature, ImH0me hadn't finished their headlong dive into delusion. So, without further ado, I present some more of their tweets directed to me.

Religion for Godsake?
Gonna talk a little about something close to my heart …
If a person truly believed rain fell upwards we would think them mad. If a group of people believed, against all the evidence to the contrary, that the sky was green, we would rightly consider them at best slightly weird. It’s hopefully unlikely these groups of people actually exist outside our more padded institutions.
However, there was a time when people believed the solar system rotated around the Earth. To suggest this to be wrong was dangerous and you risked being the main course of a barbecue. Now, of course, we have all the evidence we need to prove the solar system is heliocentric; the planets revolve around the Sun. These days, nobody is flambĂ©ed for suggesting the Sun is the centre of the solar system – unless we really don’t like them, but that’s less to do with their astronomical views.
