Catholic Church Spreads Fear (more, again)
Thursday, September 27th, 2007This one is almost hard to believe, and I hope it is a hoax, but certainly outrageous enough to be real.
The Sun is reporting that “A catholic leader has claimed condoms are infected with HIV deliberately.”
It’s bad enough to insist on abstinence programs that needlessly result in unwanted pregnancies and STDs - but to scare […]
Quote Source
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007Been a good afternoon on Digg today, and here is a really nice list of some great quotes. One of my favorite quotes of all time is right at the top of the first page:
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why […]

What If You’re Wrong
Sunday, September 16th, 2007This bubbled up on Digg today, and I had almost forgotten about this portion of Dawkins’ talk at Randolph-Macon. So often non-theists are put on the defensive of trying to explain why we don’t believe, and the real question is why one should believe! There is no reason that a person should be expected to […]
Horray for Boobies!
Sunday, September 16th, 2007At first glance, this post may appear to be a bit juvenile, being focused around a recent ScienceDaily article titled Bouncing Breasts Spark New Bra Challenge (I think it should have been titled “Bouncing Breasts Push Up New Bra Challenge” or something similarly pun like), but I promise I have a point on this one. […]
Ho……ly……Sh…….it
Thursday, September 13th, 2007This one comes via PZ we have either a great joke, or one of the most disturbing and offensive sites I’ve seen. In a country where Kathy Griffith suggesting Jesus can ’suck it’ is a national catastrophe we have a site such as Marry Our Daughter, which I really hope is a hoax, I really […]
Quote for the Day
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007This showed up on my Facebook Daily Atheist Quote application today. Interesting counterpoint to all the “Hitler was an atheist” type arguments we tend to hear.
“Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training […]
Who Does Religion Serve?
Saturday, September 8th, 2007I was walking down Nicollet Mall in Minneapolis this afternoon - this is the busy part of the city on a weekend, with all the shopping - and passed by a number of small groups of conservatively dressed young men and women on the corners handing out CDs. After doing a double take, I concluded […]
The End of Psychics?
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007I was reading this post over at Happy Jihad’s House of Pancakes - and have a bit of a description of how to do a ‘cold’ reading
Indeed what I did do was tell them exactly how I would have done a completely convincing hot reading. I told them that the school had given me a […]
Pastor had sex with daughters to teach them to be good wives
Sunday, September 2nd, 2007Uh, yeah, that’s it. This sick f–k actually tries to claim his behavior was guided by god. The only solace we have is that this type of BS is the minority among both the religious and the general population.

Religion Swimming
Phew - totally covered. Much better than these girls who were unofficially sentenced to die since they couldn’t manage to escape a burning building without proper coverings. Anyone want to say Hitchens is wrong about religion being evil?
Please comment, but please read the BBC article before doing so.
