Is Atheism a Relief?


Weeping Sore

Recommended Posts

We need to get a good atheist songbook together.



First nomination: Savage Garden - Affirmation.

The "I believe in Karma" line may be a problem, but we can hand wave it away as the physical karma I mentioned earlier? And by "heart and soul" they clearly means your personality, nothing spiritual.



I have to admit the final line with it's god and eternity is a slightly bigger problem....



Fuck it. Scap that, we still have Lennon I guess. :-(

What's interesting is that many lovesongs, let's face it - most songs aree love songs, bring a religious kind of faith into the picture. The Monkees - I'm a Believer. What do you think about love as god?

My nomination for an atheist song book would be Leonard Cohen - Diamonds in the Mine.

Mine:

Hozier - Take Me to Church

For the first question, I refer to Tim Minchin's

For the second, I also nominate Minchin. Either

As a non believer,

I totally concede that theres a plethora of great gospel/religous , spiritual

music out there. It's a good thing to, because without that history I imagine I may have never

heard some of my favorite singers like-

Heather Headley, Anita Baker, Patti LaBelle, Al Green http://youtu.be/w3El5XHUefc, the Staples, Winans,

Whitney, and the list of great singers that came up in church choir

goes on and on........great stuff!

BR,

So, wait, I'm being smugly superior when I see images like that and and find them smug and insulting?

Read the Alt text. (A good rule for all XKCD comics.) Yes - it can become smug turtles all the way down. Still doesn't excuse "Khaleesi did nothing wrong" bullying, stereotyping, and smugness. Basically, they were being a rude, and Christsplaining why they feel their bigotry is justified. I feel no shame in calling them out on that.
