This is the most wondrous thing. I have turned off all of my lights and I’m sat under my duvet like a secret pioneer into this fantastic little world that I can’t stop watching.
Genuinely one of the coolest things I’ve come across on here.
Ok this is amazing
I spent like 20 minutes just watching it.
omg i dont reblog stuff but fhdbsjfhdbshjfs this needs to be on my tumblr omg //stares
WOAHHH K TURNED THE LIGHTS OUT. TOOK ME A WHILE BUT WHAOOAOOOAHHH
how is this a thing that exists
Why vegetarians no longer have the right to tell us "meat eaters" (though I eat grass-fed, organically raised animals), that our habits are bad for the environment.
Seriously worth reading. It’s about how quinoa has surged in demand so high that the people in countries where it’s harvested can’t afford to eat it anymore. It also mentions the detrimental effects of our obsessions with soy and how the demand for asparagus is depleting water supplies.
Except
- Meat eaters consume quinoa and asparagus
- There are more meat eaters than vegans, suggesting that they have a higher overall impact through these foods - in general, it takes 10 times the vegetation to feed “stock” animals for slaughter or exploitation than it does to directly feed a human on a plant-based diet
- A majority of soy production is used to support animal agriculture
- The higher “depletion” of water supply is in animal agriculture
- Most anti-vegans are suddenly pretending to care about the quinoa problem but are using the suffering of other humans as justification of their apathy - there have been many tumblr users who have even confused “Bolivia” with “Bulgaria” because they don’t give a shit as long as it’s useful to them
Organically raised animals who are allowed free-range or partial free-range are still slaughtered, which is the real issue, but this method of farming also takes at least twice as many natural resources to create the same product with about the same level of cruelty.
“Organic, grass fed” is not humane, and even humane is a myth.
I live in Australia. I grow my own soy, drink from Australian soy brands, I also buy Quinoa from Tasmania, the countries only quinoa farm.

Ugh, sometimes the people I know make me want to facepalm.
“vegetarian” girl says she’s going vegan because she loves animals, next day she take it bck because she likes chocolate, but no really, she just can’t cook and doesn’t really care about animals.
In the meantime, other friends are constantly complaining how their lives suck and “waiting around” for it to be awesome without actually doing anything
While another hates their weight and wants to be healthy yet posts status’s such as the ones pictured
OKAY TUMBLR. IT’S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL
Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “JIF.”
NOT GIF,
JIF.
And here is the link for the opposite.
WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.
: chicagochi: If you spend all your time trying to construct proof that...
If you spend all your time trying to construct proof that religion is not real, then you are just as dedicated to God as I am.
yeaaaaahhhh….. except you’re missing the point of atheism.
Many atheists spend time on this because religious people are pretty vocal about things,…
“We refute religion not just for our sake, but for yours” I’m sorry if you don’t see how this is offensive. To have someone actively attacking your beliefs in the name of ‘helping you’ is offensive, especially since the last time I checked my beliefs not only have nothing to do with you, they also cause me absolutely no harm. I’m choosing to believe that you meant to imply that atheists are doing this to be kind. If you do this then that’s great, but most atheists I have met are downright vindictive about refuting religion. And actually, I won’t find that most of the time it’s religious people trying to sway people. Most of the time, in my experience, that religion comes up, it is someone who does not practice religion making a comment about how “stupid” someone is for believing in any religion.
But even beyond that, I am not speaking about the typical atheist. I am speaking about people who cannot let it go. There are people who I no longer speak to because EVERY conversation we have is them trying to “prove” to me that my belief in God is ridiculous and unfounded. I was saying that when it gets to the point that you spend more time trying to prove to religious people that their religion is not real than those people spend actively worshiping then that religion rules your life.
“To have someone actively attacking your beliefs in the name of ‘helping you’ is offensive” - exactly!
I don’t condone atheists being jerks about it. I do condone the use of facts and logic and politeness.
You may not come across many religious people who do this, because you sound like you might be religious yourself, this happens to people who aren’t religious and a heck of a lot more than atheists bashing on religion, although that’s slowly shifting, with the aid of the internet.
If you spend all your time trying to construct proof that religion is not real, then you are just as dedicated to God as I am.
yeaaaaahhhh….. except you’re missing the point of atheism.
Many atheists spend time on this because religious people are pretty vocal about things, you will find the majority o the time it will be religious people trying to sway us to their ways, most atheists don’t do this, we refute religion not just for our our sake but for yours.
Imagine….someone who doesn’t believe the same things you do, you feel you know better and you want to share this so that other people can experience the same feelings/experiences you have. Atheists do that too, the exact same thing!
Don’t EVER let anyone hinder your beleifs. Show the world our God. people need to know that He’s eternal and dependable. I’m not one to argue, but I’ll stand up for what I believe in. God is so good. Faith is EVERYTHING. :) Love thy enemies guys
Defining someone’s sexuality through a religious act, this is just passive aggressive. This is akin to those silly posts like “like this picture of you care about children with cancer, ignore if you dont”
You know you’re Australian when…
You don’t sleep in your bed in summer, you sleep on it.
You put your pets in the refrigerator. (Ok so maybe that’s just axolotl owners like myself)
Your pet kangaroo keeps jumping into your lap for cuddles.
Yep….
Laser Hair Removal
I’m getting laser hair removal yay! No more shaving, It’s so irritating to the skin. I have one dilemma…
The deal i’m getting is to get a brazillian and underarms for a great price, I was only thinking of getting my bikini done, I can still get a bikini…..but should I get a brazillian? I don’t know if i’ll hate looking pre-pubescent…
first world problems eh!
An Atheist Explains It To His Evangelical Sister
A friend of mine posted a letter sent by her atheist brother. I have faith, so I don’t applaud it but I respect it. And I’m sure anyone out there who fears a loved one is wrong about any serious matter can imagine how distressing a refusal for help can be.
Then there is this one comment, “As for his letter, well, the Bible warns us that not everyone is numbered among the elect.” ….That steams me. That straight up pisses me off. Because the way I see it this guy is basically saying, “Too bad your brother is probably going to hell” and how the hell would he know? I also left a comment, which I probably shouldn’t have. But that was an hour ago and I’m still nice and toasted about it. I think I have identified my all time biggest and most violent pet peeve with religious people; having the arrogance to assume they know the fate of a person’s soul. And make no mistake, I am a religious people.
It has to do with some pretty basic logic (and what’s clearly stated in the bible). A person can pass judgment on another person’s actions. Legally we can take eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, and life for life. Only God can pass judgment on a person’s soul. Only God can see what’s going on inside someone’s heart and mind; he’s the only one who gets to say what a person deserves/gets after leaving this earth. So please, if you’re not God, STFU.
I’m an atheist myself, and I like your commentary. Thank you. :)
i may need to use this letter myself one day
