Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

ALERT: The United States has liberal bias!

Our country is doomed. It is time to admit it: it’s not the media, or the skewed polls, or the academic elites that are the problem. Despite our best efforts, the American people themselves appear to be suffering from LIBERAL BIAS.

Hard truths cut both ways.

(via lioness-of-lannister)

Hard truths

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.”
― Albert Einstein

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It’s just a different wolf.”
― Alfred Hitchcock

“Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.”
― Friedrich von Schiller

I think what a lot of people fail to realize is that fairy tales are about emotional truths. No one reads a fairy tale and thinks that they may literally have to slay an ogre, or steal the golden goose, or wear out seven pairs of iron shoes and dress in a thousand furs to find the prince, but some people criticize them, saying this is unrealistic, this is all there is to the tale. Put a little thought into it. In your life, you may not have to climb mountains to find the home of the north wind, but you might have to ask someone intimidating for help. You may never have to trick the wicked prince into looking into the glass-filled barrel, or the witch into peering into the oven, but you might have to sacrifice someone else’s comfort for your own wellbeing. Your mother might not be wicked, but sometimes you’ll be angry with her. You might not be turned into a Beast, but sometimes it feels like there’s nothing about you worth loving. Fairy tales remind you of that. They remind you that there are troubles and trials, and that this is normal. It is the way of things, and you’ll come through it. (via batbcomic)

atheist-overdose:

Truth is not a democracy

Exactly. And that is why we have a huge problem in the “understanding” department here in America. You don’t get to say whether or not you believe in evolution. Evolution is a scientific fact and you don’t get to have a say in whether or not it’s true. Just like you don’t get to have a say in whether or not we breathe oxygen or whether or not the moon exists. These things are just facts and require ZERO belief in order to be true.

I hate that the question is even asked anymore, “Do you believe in evolution?” It isn’t a valid question. The question should be rephrased as, “Do you accept the truth that evolution is a provable scientific fact regardless of the religious beliefs of some groups?”

And that it completely corresponds with bible teachings as well! lol

Vaccines, antidotes and antibiotics work. Prayer and faith don’t.

And oh dear, you have NO IDEA how much I seriously wish most of the people who doubt it would just actually jump out of a tenth floor window. Please, just fucking do it.

(via juneof1992)

Truth does not demand belief. Scientists do not join hands every Sunday, singing, “yes, gravity is real! I will have faith! I will be strong! I believe in my heart that what goes up, up, up must come down. Amen!” If they did that, we would think they were pretty insecure about it.
