My name is Legion, for we are many

- Frank - 24 - Bronx, New York -
Just a guy who is looking to find his way in the world. I desire to become a real person... though the very thought terrifies me. I am constantly searching for purpose and meaning in my life. In short, I'm a nice guy who likes simple things.

[X] I am a proud and outspoken anti-theist
[X] I trust facts, evidence, and the scientific method
[X] I am a liberal/leftist/democratic socialist
[X] I'm single and I feel like I'm better off that way for now, at least until I have my life together
[X] I am a heterosexual male with an Italian heritage
[X] I have no ethnic pride; I find it distasteful
[X] I am 100% pro-choice and pro-gay rights
[X] I love sci-fi/fantasy movies and games
[X] Some of my favorites include Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, etc.
[X] I listen mainly to music considered "rock"

99.9% of what I post on Tumblr is for me; I'm not on here to impress anyone. If you like what I post, hit "Follow," if you don't, then move along.

Don't hesitate to send stuff to my Ask-box, I'm always down to chat =]

…very progressive. Someone send the Pope this memo. He hasn’t gotten it.

“We’d as well be 10 minutes back in time, for all the chance you’ll change your mind.”

This entire thing is so excellent. Pretty sure I’ve posted it before, but what’s the harm in posting once more?

Whatever the reason, I don’t believe that cultural conservatism, as an ideology, has ever won a battle, despite hewing to [Rick] Warren’s playbook. Rome hellenized despite the Catos, and was later Christianized despite Julian & his elites; the Catholic church lost its temporal influence despite the Papacy; the Beatles drowned out Cole Porter; the South desegregated despite Thurmond & Helms; and America will come to accept gay marriage despite her Santorums. Who’s to say whether it’s good or bad, but it is the course of history. “Politics is always downstream from the source of culture,” and the current’s too swift to paddle backwards.

Cultural Leadership (via azspot)

This is precisely why I have big problems with conservativism in general.

The day after the anniversary of the verdict in the Scopes trial, the Texas State Board of Education sided with sound science today as they voted to reject creationist educational materials and accept the recommendations of scientists when it comes to our schools’ educational materials.

Supporters of science really came together on this one to reject anti-evolution views from nationally funded groups. Pop that Crizzle, baby! Having been at the hearing in 2009, I know how tough these fights are. We should be very happy today. Much credit goes to the teams at NCSE and the Texas Freedom Network.

Evolution wins.

I don’t say this a lot, but, WAY TO GO, TEXAS,

GOOD. I can now feel like I’m not in a completely retarded place when visit Texas next month. Reading this was like a breath of fresh air.
