Cowboy Up vs. Geek Out - Dr. David Eagleman (by TEDxTalks) 
Leuven, Belgium. (via brianafahey) “… my favorite though was a gentleman who was dancing on a float. He was dressed solely in white underwear and had a pack of abs like no one else. As he was dancing on the float, he noticed us and jokingly yelled, ‘What are you sorry for? It’s pride!’ I pointed to our signs and watched him read them. Then it clicked. Then he got it. He stopped dancing. He looked at all of us standing there. A look of utter seriousness came across his face. And as the float passed us he jumped off of it and ran towards us. In all his sweaty beautiful abs of steal, he hugged me and whispered, ‘thank you.’ “ The quarrel between faith and reason. Reason loses by not winning. Faith wins by not losing. Repeat. 
Faith Mapped “Atheist Agenda, a campus group at U Texas San Antonio, has created a ‘Smut for Smut’ program, where they’ll trade you high-grade porn in exchange for your Bibles and other religious material. The idea is to highlight that the Bible is as full of bad ideas and bad depictions of those ideas (‘a woman is worth half a man’) as pornography.” |
