Miley Cyrus: Atheist!? Noooooooo

[Didaktylos]

Really, it's a no-lose situation fo her. After all, God, if he existed, would surely condemn to hell all descendants of Billy Ray to the end of time on account of "Achy Breaky Heart".

There used to be a time when artists were measured on their talents and abilities.

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

Now maybe she is going through an 'angsteist' phase, but I'd rather not assume that.

angsty, angstier, angstiest?

 

[arthwollipot]

Well, I suspect that the flood of horrid and offensive sentiments from people she thought she shared a religion with might show her something she didn't know before.

I think we should welcome her into the fold. It's not often you get a celebrity deconversion.

I don't have the numbers handy, but I'd be surprised if we were more than 20% hydrogen by mass.

Water is barely 12% hydrogen by mass, a typical carbohydrate is less than 7% hydrogen, and no lipid could be more than 15%.

By number of atoms though, hydrogen should win by a fair amount. It's just such a low-mass element.

We are 99.99999% empty space.

How's Billy Ray taking the news?

It broke his achy breaky heart.

bad girl miley.

 

[Oystein]

Maybe the quote was tl;dr and she never got to the "Forget Jesus" part awake.

On the other hand, I am glad the article comes with an image gallery of Miley. She is kinda cute.

 

[Cayvmann]

See, you don't have to be very smart to get that religion is a bunch of hooey. Did I spell hooey right?

 

[LarianLeQuella]

Maybe the quote was tl;dr and she never got to the "Forget Jesus" part awake.

That was my initial thought on the whole matter. It is a shame that people who once professed to like her are reacting the way they are. If she wasn't questioning religion before posting the quote, the theist reaction may cause her to start questioning...

Why, thanks for noticing, I have lost a little weight recently!

 

[Aepervius]

Personally, I welcome Miley into the atheist ranks.

I think she will find that babies are quite tasty.

As the atheist credo says : 10 minutes per pound, preferably on a bed of rosemary potatoes.

 

[Aepervius]

One of the tenets of Christian belief is the application of free choice. Rather than judging Miley's choice they should accept it.

I am sorry, I don't want to start a flame war, but this might be part of the credo somewhere, but for however many decade I have lived, the majority of the Christian *judges* other on their choice.

Theory vs practice : in theory Christian should not judge, or throw the first stone, in practice....

And I hope this situation makes Miley realise exactly this. We should be encouraging her.

Who here will call her and invite her to the JREF?

More impressive if you have lost mass.

There used to be a time when artists were measured on their talents and abilities. When did we start judging someone by their religious convictions.

Right after the guy finished the golden calf statue.

 

[Jeff Corey]

So did Kraus rip off Carl Sagan ("star stuff") or Joni Mitchell ("we are stardust; we are golden. we are billion year old carbon")?

5'll getcha 60 she'll be shaving her head within 6 years.
