“ Fundamentally, humanism is not a doctrine. It’s not a set of prescriptions or instructions about how to live. Rather, it’s an attitude. And the attitude is, we have to think for ourselves; we’ve got to take responsibility for ourselves, and in taking that responsibility we have to think how relate to, to care for, be good neighbors to our fellows in the human story. … Generous really is the word, generous and kind. A.C. Graying, author of “The God Argument: The Case Against Religion and for Humanism,” was interviewed on the Humanist Hour podcast. Listen to the episode here. (via americanhumanist)

I’m holding a baby in one hand and a petri dish holding a fetus in the other.

I’m going to drop one. You chose which.

If you really truly believe a fetus is the same thing as a baby, it should be impossible…

Nature's Abhorrent Miscalculations

I’m not sure who’s following this mess anymore, but I made a new tumblr just to show off my stupid animal creation things. Go check it out, or don’t, I don’t care. I do care a little or I wouldn’t be posting this, so there.

As many of you know, I recently purchased an Uruk-Hai scimitar.

zohbugg:

Well let me tell you, it was quite the pragmatic purchase. It has endless uses in my morning routine.

Such as making the bed:

Making toast:

Getting things off high shelves:

Making coffee:

Reaching the remote when it’s too far away:

And assisting me when I ran out of toilet paper:

I don’t know how I survived life without it.

OH MY GOD YOU ARE PERFECT

Awesome…

That’s how you fix a tattoo.

When I was a theist one of my favorite quotes was from 2 Corinthians 5. I was all about “Walk By Faith,” and was going to get a tattoo on my foot built around that phrase that I thought was amazing at the time. Fortunately my common sense kicked in before I went through with it. There is no way I would have been able to correct it like this. It would have been a very bad thing. lol

This is great!

When I was in high school, my first tattoo was going to be the super trendy and totally awesome Jerusalem cross on the ankle (don’t worry, I didn’t do it).

Edited to add: HOLY SHIT. I never knew the history of the Jerusalem cross until right now. We were given necklaces with those crosses on them at church camp and I used to wear them with pride. We were told they were “symbols of your commitment to share the gospel.” They are from the freaking crusades!!
