Please let this be some elaborate prank.
NYC has released a list of 50+ words that will be banned from standardized tests because they have been deemed ‘offensive’. The list includes ‘dinosaur’, ‘cancer’, ‘poverty’ and ‘slave’. Religious freedom has been twisted in the united states to refer to mean the freedom from having things that you disagree with exist. Facts and history are being re-written to pander to the bronze age superstitions of an aging group of hypocritical theocrats. Disgusting.
An early god exploded or something, at 40,000 miles an hour.
This is pretty much the best thing of all time.
I’m Just Sayin’
Hardcore atheists such as myself often try to convince or debate with religious people by appealing to reason, or scientific evidence. Naturally, this never works, because this is not how they think! They see the world entirely based on derived interpretations of a faith concept. In order to properly communicate with them we must be able to distil the essence of a scientific worldview down into their concept of a god-centric worldview, in much the same way software uses interfaces to communicate across incompatible mediums.
As a programmer, I can not help but feel this furthers my position that all the world’s issues are, in fact, software problems, to be solved by more software.
Hello World
I finally have my blog back up and running after what seems like an eternity of down time. I have decided to start from scratch with the content this time around, mostly because nobody reads this anyway. If you do happen to read this, you can expect news, rage comics, funny videos and images, angry rants from my fervently anti-religious mind, and musings from the bored mind of a collegiate student / software developer / physics enthusiast.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I am going to bed. It’s 1:30 in the morning, and I have decided to start going to bed early from now on. Ha.
