Rufus Wainwright- Instant Pleasure. "I don't want somebody to love me, Just give me sex whenever I want it, Because all I ask for is instant pleasure, Instant pleasure, instant pleasure." By the way, this whole "it's true because a song says so!" is pretty ridiculous. If you're not claiming...

"United with his fellow men by the strongest of all ties, the tie of a common doom, the free man finds that a new vision is with him always, shedding over every daily task the light of love. The life of Man is a long march through the night, surrounded by invisible forces, tortured by weariness...

So meta! I'm assuming that's the joke you're trying to make-- "Hey look, atheists can't grasp emotional states as distinct from physical traits! Maybe it's genetic!" (Which is, herp derp, trying to explain someone's beliefs based on physical traits.) SO I'm assuming you're making an ironic...

I'm always deeply creeped out by American men who go on the prowl for non-American women, looking for a nice God- and family-oriented (translation: submissive) wife to fawn over them. It's not that American women are "screwed up" or not Godly enough; it's that you fetishize the stereotype of...

Wooooow. If I weren't an atheist already, I would be now. "Dear raped and battered wives (who might also have children exposed to sexual and physical violence): think it is permissible to leave your husband? Nope. You must remain, risk further rape and abuse, risk the rape and abuse of...

You're conflating premarital sex with treating someone solely as a sex object. Loving, respectful sex can be had by unmarried people, and IMO should be had before you commit to a lifetime of sexual monogamy, lest you wind up with someone with whom you are not compatible (and then it's either a...

It's not testing them for sexual prowess; it's testing to see if you are sexually compatible with them. Saying one ought to "test drive" one's significant other is not some command to go sleep with everyone you have a date with-- it's simply the observation that, hey, not everyone is sexually...

I can haz actual argument? Seriously, though, anecdotes about your own moral righteousness (hasty generalization fallacies) and asides about atheists (ad hominems) don't actually constitute logical reasoning.

"Solely" as sex machines? Never said anything of the sort. Test drive, though? Yes, and so too should you be test driven.

No amount of talking about sexual preferences will indicate to you whether the person you are marrying is a good sexual match, especially if neither of you have any experience to speak from. There's no guarantee that their tastes and proclivities will mesh with yours, and while compromise might...

Not to mention, online forums are not so anonymous as we'd like to think. A smart Googler with a careless target could probably figure out someone's IRL name in like 10 minutes.

Sex: ur doin it wrong. It is exactly that rationale that some men use to ignore their female partner's pleasure, and that some women use to avoid acknowledging their desires and articulating them. Speaking as a woman: Sex is awesome. Some times (and partners) are better than others, but...

Super cute!

1/2 blanket, 1/2 sleeping white cat. Haha, I would never! That's the office at home, though in all likelihood, I was supposed to be working. Whoops.

You know, ok. I'm adopting this attitude, although finding something where I'm not wearing a school sweatshirt or doing something ridiculous is proving difficult. I'm sure I'll freak out in like 10 minutes and delete this. Edit: I spazzed and deleted, as promised.

I'm not so much worried about people filtering my comments through my personal appearance, although that's a valid concern. (I am always amused when, as frequently happens, I argue with people and they assume I'm male, which I suppose is from my tone.) Personally, I don't like any identifying...

I like science (and evolutionary psychology) as much as the next nerd, but I don't think you can boil it down to "just" nature or "just" biology. Human beings are not raised in a vacuum; they're raised in a social system. Any biological urges a person may experience must be translated through...

You want to peer-pressure people into religion? I think that tends to backfire-- atheists, by and large, do not appreciate encroachments on their intellectual autonomy, and any attempt by Christians to pressure an atheist into religious belief is going to lead to hostilities. No one likes...

Someone is wearing the creepypants today!

...you think The Nihilist is wrong? A vast portion of a girl's cultural education and social grooming involves learning to make herself appealing to men, at least partly because women are still not considered capable of being successful and happy by their own merit. Hence, they need to...
