“Dark Girls” documentary: God plays no role in skin color

Posted on June 19, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Last night I watched the documentary Dark Girls, a fantastic narrative of how dark-skinned black women feel ostracized from within the black community for being too dark and pressure to unnaturally lighten their skin. It’s a wonderful piece — with absolutely nothing … Continue reading →

Posted on June 13, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

I’ve been absent from the Atheist Papers for a little over two weeks, my longest stretch without making a post yet. Without getting into too many personal details, I’ll sum up the story like this: On 30 May 2014 my family … Continue reading →

Church in Norfolk has no idea how Facebook works

Posted on May 29, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

The other day I was at the grocery store loading my trunk with cheap beer, where I was accosted by an evangelical Christian, which, although extremely annoying, is expected and trivial. Unfortunately public Christian proselytization is not only common, it’s … Continue reading →

What “pure” religion is according to the bible: It’s actually quite good

Posted on May 24, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Often in my posts I mock the bible (and this one is no exception), but there are some verses with which even militant atheists should agree. These are the verses that eschew supernatural claims and make profound social statements. Jesus, for … Continue reading →

Book of Ezra can’t do simple addition

Posted on May 20, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

We learn to add one plus one before we even start our schooling. By time we’re ten we should be able to perform relatively complicated arithmetic. So the following math problem should not be too difficult for anyone: 30 + 1,000 … Continue reading →

An entire book of the bible is a trashy romance novel bordering on pornography

Posted on May 15, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Song of Songs (or Song of Solomon) is one of the more interesting books of Judeo-Christian-Islamic* canon. It’s pretty much porn. The “song” is allegedly about Mick Jagger’s “Brown Sugar” … ahem. It’s about a black woman … Well, it’s … Continue reading →

Bible Contradictions #36: Does everyone have to die?

Posted on May 14, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

Death is an absolute. There’s nothing we can do to stop our march towards the grave. What happens after that is unknown (and therefore not worthy of debate). But when we look to the bible we see an apparent uncertainty … Continue reading →
