oh wow, the “water” is an illusion created by spinning glass rods.

wooooooooooah

I will reblog this automaton every single time I see it because I adore it and you cannot stop me.

Something i’m pondering at the moment is the idea of mechanism with motion, first set in motion 250-ish years ago, that can still move.

I saw this mechanical wonder at the Bowes Museum, UK a few years back.

it’s a thing of beauty, art and genius. 

The footage here doesn’t do it justice. because when I saw it sitting in the middle of the room. It’s sparkled and glittered.

one of my father’s hindu colleagues was surprised that my family didn’t make everyone say a christian prayer before we sat down to eat dinner. we were like “….this is your house.” and she laughed and said that her christian friends “make” her pray all the time. like what the fuck. how fucking rude can you be to make the host pray to your god. you are in their fucking house.

I say this as a former Christian

Christians will deadass claim to be oppressed but feel comfortable and safe enough to:

  • Force non-Christians to pray to the Christian God in their own fucking homes
  • Go door-to-door to proselytize
  • Call people to proselytize
  • Take classes to proselytize (my mythology teacher actually dealt with this, and now has to include a warning on the first day of class)
  • Cross the fucking ocean to proselytize
  • Openly tell people they think they are going to Hell
  • Insist that their beliefs should influence the law
  • Get all pissy if someone says this isn’t a Christian nation, but a beautifully mixed one.
  • Have radio stations built around their religion
  • Have movies based on their religion
  • And fucking everything else

In short, Christian Supremacy needs to be addressed and religious imperialism stopped.

THIS!!!!^^^^^^^

I’m agnostic now, but I wasn’t comfortable being Christian. At all. Those are just some of the many reasons why.

Update like, over a year later; atheist, and now I have more reasons why.
