The Atheist Blogger

The title of this blogpost comes from a popular quote by Robert A Heinlein.

Men rarely (if ever) manage to dream up a God superior to themselves. Most Gods have the manners and morals of a spoiled child.

I personally think this is shown quite well in Edward Current’s latest video on YouTube entitled “An Atheist Meets God”.

CapnOAwesome shows us how to make a sandwich that can only be enjoyed by people who don’t follow the doctrines of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or Hinduism. If you are an atheist, you can enjoy this sandwich!

If anyone wants the ingredients, there they are:

• French Bread (because France is a very secular country)
• Alcohol (for drinking whilst you cook, but it’s also forbidden by Islam)
• Bacon (forbidden by Islam, Judaism, and Buddhism)
• Cheese (when used with meat this is forbidden by Judaism)
• Beef (forbidden by Hinduism and Buddhism)

Finally write “Fuck Jesus” or some other sort of blasphemy against Jesus on the sandwich using mustard or mayo, and you’ve offended Christianity :D

An interesting CBS story on atheists in America, and why they have started “lashing out” in society:

I just found an interesting video on YouTube by askegg which chronicles his conversion from being a Christian to being an atheist. It’s about 8 minutes long, and contains simple text (in the form of points) set to music. I think it’s a very good example of the rational thinking that leads many people (myself included) to convert from theism to atheism. If anyone is wondering why atheists have converted and stopped believing in God, this is the video for you.
