Quick Hitts

As promised, here’s the second half of the TADD list from 2009.  This are culled from the second half of last years leftover bookmarks.  They document all kinds of things things done by believers, from the horrific to the hilarious.
A group of 35 clerics in Saudi Arabia has declared that no woman should ever appear [...]

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 relying [...]

Here’s a commercial you’ll never see on American TV.

More of your favorite feature, folks. . .

This is another installment in our continuing series of  Things Atheists Didn’t Do.
A pedophile priest, not an atheist, claimed he was only giving his victim anatomy lessons.

What does this stain on a griddle look like to you?  It could be the famous praying hands painting.  Tilted sideways it could be the space shuttle.  Upside down, a jellyfish.  For the perverse, a butt plug.  But no, it’s the Virgin Mary.   Why?  Because it’s always either the Virgin Mary or Jesus.  If it [...]

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 are [...]

Her mother arranged an abortion, probably knowing that giving birth to twins at her age could be fatal.  The Catholic Church demonstrated [...]

I’m finding so many stupid things believers do I was thinking of starting a separate blog – Things Atheists Didn’t Do – to list them.  But the last thing I need is another blog, so I’ve just made it a category on this one.
The only difference between Kosher salt and regular salt is the grind.  [...]

I’ve been collecting these for a while, and there’s so much nonsense and evil done in the name of religion I’m thinking of setting up a separate blog for it.  But until/unless I do, here’s a very incomplete list of things superstitious people have done in the name of their religion, from the silly to [...]

Here’s a list of things atheists didn’t do over the past month or so.
An Atheist did not set fire to his 11 year old niece for wearing lipstick. She has burns over 90% of her body and is not expected to survive.
No atheist decreed it was OK to kill the owners of Satellite TV [...]

Imagine that the parents of an 11 year old child refused to give her medical treatment because they believed the ancient god Moloch would save her. They prayed to Moloch for a month, convinced that he would cure her ills, while the child got sicker and sicker. But alas, the child died of [...]
