The meat production industry is a piece of shit. If you are a meat-eater you need to take responsibility for your diet and kill what you eat, and do it humanely, even if you only do it once a year. Take the power back! Punch a pig in the cunt!

Atheism is essentially just putting oneself in the position of God. There may be no precise doctrinal guidelines or universal rituals required to be an atheist, but to become an atheist requires a conscious decision to reject any and all evidence that God has made evident. The lifestyle of an atheist may appear to be quite different than the life of a more obviously religious person, but an atheist is really just worshiping a different god. The biggest lie about atheism is that it is merely some kind of default position- as if one can live out their entire life, yet remain absolved from the responsibility of having to ultimately accept or reject God. Yet, if God exists and he has adequately revealed himself to the world, then no one has any excuse. I find it entirely reasonable that God would desire a humble heart and mind in order to reveal himself, and I have never met an intellectually humble atheist.
So, atheism may not be a cohesive religion in the traditional sense of the term, but an atheist is most definitely a religious person.

Wow. No offense Aaron but this is not controversial, this just extreme backward thinking.
I wish my english was better so we could argue for days but in the end it would probably be vain (but enjoyable nonetheless) and we both know it.
I'll just say theists seem to have no problem with bending the meaning of words so they fit their set of beliefs.

I was thinking the same. I have big respect for Aaron as a musician, producer and helpful person. So don't get me wrong. I just can't understand christians at all... So, sorry for my ignorance.

Ok duders, lets ge this shit straight.
Atheism is the ABSENCE of belief, it is NOT anti-theism.
It is a neutral position, it's not the rejection of a God, Religion is the acceptance of a God.
The arguments made against it so far have been akin to saying "you can't breathe them vaccum molecules".
It's just a fundamental misunderstanding of what atheism is.
-Blastbeats are just another beat, many styles of riffing depend on it, hence why some bands use them a lot. No-one ever complains that hardcore has too many hardcore beats in it....

You can argue that Atheism is a religion in as much that it requires some fairly strong structures, but at the end of the day the thing that separates it from the rest is that there is no dogma. There is no "law" in that sense. Yes, it rejects the notion of theism, i.e. a supernatural deity, but it can only form its beliefs on probability, logic, observation etc. That means, then, that it can change its beliefs at any given moment depending on new findings. In other words, if god came down and slapped me round the face I'd be like "fuck... woops! oh well I guess that's that then...". However, religious "faith" is the deliberate IGNORANCE of observation in the interest of preserving belief, i.e. dogma/law/whatever you want to call it. It's a stricter doctrine of thoughts that cannot be manipulated in any sense.
So in that sense Atheism is not a religion. However, you are welcome to comment that I am "religious" about my Atheism, but that's more a matter of semantics that philosophy.

Having reached a point in my life where the idea of a god plays no part and I am happy to accept the world without insecure anthropomorphism, I can safely say that I am not a religious person. I'm not sure this is a controversial opinion, but it's definitely where I am right now

No offense, but you clearly have an exceptionally poor understanding of nutrition at best.
When we ingest food, our body does not think "Ohh, this food source is natural.......oh this isn't natural'.
Nor does it run on any kind of clock and work in any way remotely like a thinking thing or perhaps like a computer.
You ingest food, it will use the macronutrient and micronutrient value from it, regardless of what the food is, PERIOD.
Milk is an exceptionally high quality source of protein for human beings and has a good micronutrient profile
If you truly believe that ridiculous fear mongering that you've read about cow's milk being unnatural for humans.........I just don't know what to say.

I think he find's it strange that people drink a liquid from an animals nipple.
It's no less natural than cooking our food.

Religion is something made up by man. Maybe it started out with good intentions, to give people a moral code to live by. But along the way it ended up being twisted and used to control people. Now it largely serves only to influence people into fighting wars against those who don't share their beliefs and to segregate society.
The fact that just about every religion says "there is only one true god and that is our god, all others are false gods" despite there being dozens (hundreds even?) of different religions worshiping loads of different gods is annoying as fuck. I mean come one who every religion says this then who's right? They can't all be right.
If you accept the existence of one god then you have to accept the fact that the others must exist too, after all they're all saying the same shit (only one true god blah blah blah) it's just another form of elitism. Every side saying "we're right, you're wrong, you're all going to hell for believing the wrong thing"

Please show me where I could buy a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo laptop with 2Gb RAM and a 120GB hard drive for £70 2 years ago. Seriously.
I'll admit I hate Apple fanboys, but statements like this are just absolute bullshit. Impossible to upgrade? I threw in a new hard drive and upgraded my RAM using only 2 screwdrivers. What's impossible about that?

But... he IS right though. Of course we gain nutrients from it, but that's not to say it's for our consumption.
The protein strains within cows milk are not meant for our digestive system, and that's why people become lactose intolerant. We are, in fact, ALL intolerant to cows milk to some degree, it's just more insidious for most of us. Cut out dairy from your diet and your skin will clear up, eyes get whiter, digestive system functions more smoothly, and your respiratory system increases efficiency.
Not... a huge amount, to be fair
But it's noticeable.Here's a more clear-cut way of putting it - What do people tell you NOT to have when you're chesty/congested? Milk. But it's magically ok for you when you're not ill? Bullshit. If it's bad for you when you're ill, it's bad for you when you're not ill. When you're not ill, though, your body can just cope with it better.
So yes, although for arguments sake we CAN drink cows/goats/dogs/whatevers milk, that doesn't mean we should. It's not part of our natural diet.

Is it any less weird than ripping the muscles from their bodies and consuming them? Or their organs/brains etc...
