Here's a bullshit documentary about how Harry Potter is a Zionist piece of propaganda. What I find hilarious is that these "historians" seem to forget that their own religion is basically a plagiarism of both Judaism and Christianity. Also, I've met plenty of Jews, and not one of them was interested in world domination. Religious fundamentalists (on both the Islamic and Christian side), however, have no pro ...

I mentioned last night how important the Texas School Board debates are, and a fan tuned me in to this website, which is live blogging the event. Do yourself a favor and go take a look! ***NOTE*** It looks like science has won the day, and the motion to include all that creationist nonsense has failed. Score one for the good guys! ...

Wow, I don't even know where to start with this guy...Did you know i was 100,000% wrong according to this guy? Oh, and he says that if you hate God, he'll hate you right back. That sounds more like the guy I've read in the Old Testament then this Jesus fellow. Finally someone who gets it! ...

I understand the reasoning behind the Archbishop of Canterbury warning that humans are the ones that need to clean up the environment. It's logical, and I certainly won't argue with that logic. What I will argue with, however, is that Christians fundamentally believe that the world going to shit is actually a good thing, since it means that their Lord will come back, send all the good people to heaven, and ...

Who isn't? Now just two days away from deciding what will constitute the standard science textbook in Texas, everyone should be paying attention. This is especially true since many other states often base their own curriculum on what Texas does. I didn't know this, but these guys produce most of the teaching material for much of the south. So in that sense, this whole issue just got a lot more intense. It s ...

I always knew that a portion of Muslims in the world support honor killings, but I never realized until today just how big that number is. A new survey in Turkey shows just how chilling the response is, and just how incompatible this cultural attitude is to our modern societal values. 26 percent of adults and teenagers are in full support of honor killings. That's a full quarter of their population. I find ...

Christopher Hitchens - Religion Yes, it's Hitchens week I guess, but the man is just too interesting not to post up... ...

There's been a lot of high profile economists that have come out publicly calling on the US to repeal drug prohibition laws. Today, it's Harvard Economist Jeffrey Miron talking to CNN.com. If you're wondering why so many economists are coming out of the woodwork to talk about prohibition, consider that the last time the US faced a depression, one of the big policy changes that went into effect was the aboli ...

Here's a discussion where a bunch of theologians (with Hitchens there to provide the atheist perspective) are trying to answer the question: why do bad things happen to good people? Hitchens has a very simple explanation: "religion compels people to do wicked and unforgivable things". The best part of the video is the argument between him and Rabbi Harold Kushner about circumcision. Hitchens tries to use it ...

Thanks atheist nation for the find. ...
