Atheism provides the first step in resolving our global conflicts. It forces us to accept full responsibility for ourselves, since there are no god/s (no matter how much you pray) to intervene and take that responsibility away from us.
Without the acceptance of that responsibility, you’ll be unable to face the issues. Indeed, you’ll think there are no issues, since god will take care of it.
Atheism is good because it acknowledge:
1. Time, it’s your life then why praying instead of working or just having fun
2. Energy, you don’t have to spend it on religious’ duties
3. Facts, what else can be more convincing than evidences
4. Freedom, free from mental slavery and religious disorder
5. Science, it would be much more useful to use science rather than dogma
6. Perspectives, being atheist it’s about finding yourself
7. Progress, atheist are evolving, we’re undeniably changing
8. Choices, atheist have many more options because there’s no religious restriction
9. Luck, feel lucky to live and lucky to die
10. Laughter, blasphemy is a great healthy victimless lol
11. Ideas, atheism respects creativity which are socially unlimited
12. Open mind, see things from outside the box
13. Logic, there’s almost nothing logic about superstition
14. Reasons, the reasons might be your purpose
15. Rationality, atheist can differentiate fairy tales without believing it
16. Common sense, atheists can feel it more with empathy
17. Peace, no holy war, no dogma based hatred
18. Consistency, atheist morality is committed rather than deluded
19. Happiness, it doesn’t guarantee you’ll be happy atheist but surely you’ll be happier
20. Sincerity, accepting yourself is fundamental while lying is invented with consequences.
21. Sex, porn, premarital, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, birth control, done without guilt
22. Humanity, atheist live as human for human, not for sky daddy
23. Love, atheism never requires you to hate anyone
24. Better Life, adults with imaginary friends are silly
25. Gender equality, no second class gender in atheism
26. Critical thinking, no one is immune from critiques, in fact it helps people improve
27. Skepticism, it makes you more aware from deception
28. Healthy Society, atheist is good for the whole world, not only particular part of it
29. Existence, the truth is great because it’s real.

One of Australia’s leading manufacturers, Durex, has called for applications for one of the best jobs in the world- condom tester.
All you have to do is bed-test a number of their passion enhancing products and give them honest feedback about the products’ feel and performance. I’m sure none of randy common people would have a problem with that! While the 200 successful applicants will not be paid, they will receive a selection of $60 worth of Durex products free, and one lucky tester will win a bonus of $1000, presumably for excellent service.
In this job, who would mind putting in the extra hours, even without a bonus??
To apply for the job all you have to do is explain why you would make an expert condom tester, with Durex stating that humour would definitely help in the application. In which case, do you think they would accept having an insatiable sex drive as a good reason why I would make a good tester?
Naturally you have to be over 18 to apply for the job, but being a woman doesn’t discount you, all you need is to be able to find a male partner to help you test the products. Now there’s a great pick-up line, I’m an official sexecutive condom-tester, please help me test some products!
As Durex marketing manager Sam White said, “With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex. Who wouldn`t want to have a chance with an actual authorised professional?” Imagine going to an interview with that on your CV, certainly gives you a talking point!
For your chance at this sexy job, head on over to http://www.durex.com.au and get your application in today to become an official sexecutive, and then why not head on over to RedHotPie, the sexiest dating site in Australia, to find people to help you with your new ‘job’!
