As an atheist, I see nothing “wrong” in believing in a God. I don’t think there is a God, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights when it worries me. I would never deny your right to believe in a God. I would just rather you didn’t kill people who believe in a different God, say. Or stone someone to death because your rulebook says their sexuality is immoral. It’s strange that anyone who believes that an all-powerful all-knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are.

Ricky Gervais: “Why I’m an Atheist”
(via itscandidlycara)
Even as a Christian I agree. I dislike it so much when people judge others. That’s not their job, that’s God’s. Why does it matter if one person might go to hell. Seriously, it’s so stupid because they have no right to do that. They are just as bad as everyone else on the planet.

This is titled, ‘Steve is secretly a sneaky person’, or alternatively ‘What Just Happened’, ‘Steve is a Jerk’, ‘Tony is a big Baby’, ‘How Steve Successfully Got Tony Into Being His Boyfriend’ etc etc.
I don’t know, Tony would probably keep the huge ass bear in his huge as hell bed. I’m sure there’s space.
And he would name him Steve and hug him to sleep every night (I don’t know what you do with huge teddy bears otherwise)
OMG TOO KAWAII, PLS STOP.

Probably a result of me marathoning Avatar: TLA and watching the Avengers a couple of times. And fueled by pretzel M&M’s.
The story of Thor and Loki strikes me as kind of similar to the story of Azula and Zuko. Thor (like Azula) is the golden child, the apple of his father’s eye, expected to take…
I noticed the same thing! Seriously. I thought about how Zuko was banished and so was Loki, etc.
Right?! I mean, there are some big differences. Ozai burned off half of Zuko’s face and sent him on an impossible task. Odin admitted he lied to Loki for his entire life, and Loki finally figured out that his “father” would never love him, so he banished himself … or something like that.
They still both have these huge quests for redemption and belonging.
Yes and along with that I think they both just want their father’s acceptance. They have messed up pasts (Zuko believed his mother was killed and Loki found out he was adopted) and they both had to compete for their father’s love with their siblings.
Fortunately, I think they both grow to want more than their father’s acceptance. Zuko comes to realize his father is an evil nutcase and that he was in charge of his own honor, and Loki … well, I guess there’s still more of his story that needs to be told. In the Avengers I get the feeling he doesn’t much care what Odin thinks of him and he’s pursuing his own destiny.
Yeah, agreed. Zuko turns out to be good. Hopefully something similar might arise from Loki. I think originally he did care about Odin and certainly Odin’s treatment of him over the years turns him evil. I think Odin actually created him to be evil, to be in a constant battle with his bother and to make Thor seem like this huge hero. But yes, in The Avengers it seems he doesn’t care for his father’s acceptance. Seems. SEEMS. I still think he cares, deep, deep, DEEP down.
