You seem to have little Faith in the "Big Bang Model" and the "Singularity theory" yourself. So why should I bear the agony of listening further to your hollowed words?


I do not need to have faith in something that has evidence to back it up. Now, off the top of my head, I cannot give much but a base explanation of what is wrong with it; however, I do have a source, which in turn, has sources, that can back up my claims. This is not via the advancement of google, but rather from a video series I have watched, which I found quite entertaining and concise.

Your claim that one must provide evidence off the top of their head is pointless and unnecessary. I do not have a fanatical, psychotic, and obsessive loyalty with what I consider to be true, based on the evidence that has been presented.

YES, its JUST a holiday which happens to be the most important day of the YEAR for Christians. I love how people try to make Easter seem insignificant, when really without it Christianity has NO point, because you couldn't atone for your sins. Maybe you should try actually learning about a holiday before trying to mock it.

Christmas is for pagans.
“Beware the irrational, however seductive. Shun the 'transcendent' and all who invite you to subordinate or annihilate yourself. Distrust compassion; prefer dignity for yourself and others. Don't be afraid to be thought arrogant or selfish. Picture all experts as if they were mammals. Never be a spectator of unfairness or stupidity. Seek out argument and disputation for their own sake; the grave will supply plenty of time for silence. Suspect your own motives, and all excuses. Do not live for others any more than you would expect others to live for you.”

That's nice. Years ago, people tried to use science to justify racism and sexism. If science is subjective, these beliefs would still be mainstream. They aren't. Science is NOT subjective.

Yes, I get the day matches up with Pagan stuff, but it also matches up with the Jewish Festival of Lights, so it's not necessarily Pagan.

National Vegan Day is the most important day of the year for me and most people don't even know it exists.

I am a straight 14 year old male atheistic Communist vegan loner. If you have a problem with any of this, I only request that you stay the fuck away from me. If you have questions about atheism or Communism, ask someone else, because there's a 99% chance they can explain it better. If you have questions about veganism, or are yourself a vegan, send me a TG, because I fear that I am the only one on NSG.

I don't recall anything about Easter in the Bible.
