myownremedy asked: So Atheists compromise about 55% of the US population - I don't know about other countries/nations, my apologies - so at least y'all aren't a minority here. :)
I’d like to know where you found that statistic, because according to recent Gallup polls, only about 5% of Americans are convinced that there’s no god.
You may be thinking of Americans who are generally not religious, but even in that case I think 55% is still pretty high.
Trust me, as an American atheist, I can tell you we’re a minority.

My dearest fellow atheists, I feel a rant coming.
We are a minority, yes? We deal with things that minorities typically deal with: discrimination, bullying, violence, shame, rejection, etc.
So why not stand with other minorities? Why not be supportive of other people who don’t fit the mainstream mold?
I don’t think it’s ok when we use language that’s racist, sexist, homophobic, biphobic, trans*phobic, size-ist, etc.
Yes, if somebody harasses you, give them an equal amount of trouble. But don’t insult other people based on their minority status.
You don’t like it when religious people do it to you, right?
*EDIT* My apologies for missing ableist and other words on my list of language that’s not-ok. I tend to leave out details when I’m in rant mode.

Brush-a brush-a brush-a.
This is why I feel awkward if there’s somebody else in the bathroom when I’m brushing my teeth.

My brain is still on spring break mode and not anywhere near willing to study for tomorrow’s calc test. So I’m going to list the contents of my refrigerator. Because that’s what we do, right, internet friends? We share irrelevant information in order to procrastinate.
- Filter pitcher full of water
- The dregs of a bottle of Captain Morgan (like a shot or 2)
- 2 Mike’s Hard Cranberry Lites
- The remains of tonight’s Chinese food dinner
- A piece of chocolate shaped like a pack of birth control pills (gotta love Planned Parenthood!)
- Condiments (ketchup, mustard, bbq sauce, soy sauce, hot sauce, jelly, parmesan cheese, salad dressing, and peanut butter)
No, I don’t normally put peanut butter in the fridge. I don’t know why it’s there right now, actually.

Funny.
This is definitely not funny. I have no problem with agnostics, first of all. And second, WTF!? “Lol, agnostics are hipster faggots who think they’re edgy, but I’m so edgy for calling someone a faggot.” Homophobic slurs are not cool or funny, people. I became an atheist because of the way religious people treat people like me who may just happen to find people of the same sex to be attractive. It disgusts me to see my fellow atheists throwing around slurs just for the lulz.

I wish my mother would stop asking me about my beliefs. Every time she asks me if I believe in heaven or if I believe my grandma’s looking out for me from heaven and I hesitate or say no or evade, she flips out, gets offended and starts crying.
I hate to say it, but I think I’ll have to just start lying to her about it from now on. I hate having to lie about who I am and what I believe.

Losing an hour sucks because I have so much shit to do.
But I guess the silver lining is that it’s one less hour I have to wait to see my boo.
