The Neverending Story »

I usually try to mix things up in the Things Atheists Didn’t Do stories.  I’ll list different religions and mix a few silly, amusing things in with the horrific crimes committed in the name of a god.  But the mess in the Catholic Church has resulted in so many bizarre stories it deserves a post […]

Since When is Silence a Bad Thing? »

In North Carolina a high school showed up with a piece of red duct tape across his mouth. “Silence for Christ” was written on it.  He was suspended when he refused to remove it. I’m not sure, but I think I was in tenth grade when I went to a class with a 45 record […]

Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign »

Those of us who are fond of reality make the mistake of using logic and reason to deal with religious nutters in an attempt to show them their conclusions are flawed.  (We use the term “flawed” because it’s impolite to use the more accurate term: “fucking stupid.”)  We can be persuaded by logic and reason, […]

Things Atheists Didn’t Do in 2009 – Part 1 »

I’ve got a lot of 2009 links left over for the ever-popular Things Atheists Didn’t Do series.  Here’s the first half of the list.    (You can find other TADD here.) This one is actually from 2008.  (I have so many of these things saved sometimes they  get lost.)  Three Christian parents murdered their children by […]

But the ever efficient marketplace changed […]

Michael Moore Asshole or Douchebag? »

Morewatch is one of the most popular anti-Moore sites on the net.  A few years ago the wife of one of the guys who runs it got very sick, and didn’t have insurance.  They announced they were going to have to shut it down. But then an anonymous check arrived for $12,000, allowing the proprietor […]

The Gathering Storm – Them Gays is Scary »

I’ve never liked the term whatever-phobe, which makes the usually spurious assumption that fear is the only reason to dislike something.  I’m not afraid of Islam; I hate it because it is a vile religion that sucks in every way possible.  I’m not an Islamophobe, I’m an Islamocontempter.  I’m  Islamodisgusted. Likewise, those who hate gays […]
