It's because they absolutely cannot believe that god isn't real. To them, it's as real as the air or water. They honestly believe that the burden of dis-proof is on you. It's very strange because someone can have these beliefs but then be reasonably normal in all other ways.

When your psyche is founded on an idea as big as theirs, it's hard for you to be able to let go of that crutch long enough to see the truth.

CNN has an article from a Christian pastor about where god was during the Aurora CO Batman shootings; this is the first comment...and it's fucking brilliant

Replying to RyGuy2012 · That's sadly true. And depending on how low your self worth is, you may think you deserve the pain.

The times I was seconds from ending it, all I felt was absolute nothingness. There was no sadness, no pain, no fear; just nothing. The only thing left that kept me here was the distant respect I had for my girlfriend and

The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

Replying to jeppest · Just because it's a repost doesn't mean that everyone has seen it. Although I do think there should be reference to the original post or something.

There should be a tag, like the NSFW ones, for a repost.

These are the Christians on my feed... I think we need more like them.

Replying to [deleted] · I doubt it. People are already in line to pay for the food, meaning they have the money to do so. I find the whole concept rather obnoxious. It's the principle of the thing. I am…

I agree, it's retarded. It's like a secret Santa party with fast food, where everyone chooses their own meal and another person pays for it. Now that I think of it, it's one of the most pointless and unimaginative "chari

I was also upset that they grouped MDMA and Meth together! They both bind to neurotransmitter receptors in far different affinities! In a rant about improperly grouping things together, I would expect consistency!
