It's not just Ireland that is battling the Catholic church and their long list of abuses against children. In Bridgeport, Connecticut, the Diocese is attempting to keep thousands of pages of court files, numerous lawsuits dating back to 2001, from being released to the public. They attempted to show that they have actively been fighting to prevent further abuses, but their obvious need to protect the identi ...

Cool speech. I like how he calls for people to educate themselves. Although he admits that it will not necessarily lead to secularism, it will at least make everyone think for themselves. Now if only he can clean up the mess that is his latest show, Dollhouse, then I'll be a fan again. Man that show sucks... ...

The Kunduz province in northern Afghanistan is in turmoil. Although there is a German military base there, 600 soldiers have to patrol and defend an area the size of Massachusetts. The Taliban has been gaining ground rapidly, threatening to kill school girls if they try to attend class. School administrators are powerless to do anything about it, and scared parents are capitulating to the treats. If you rec ...

I actually think they need to redo the ten commandments as a comedy. I mean, you'd have to be crazy to think this shit actually happened... ...

Let's play a little game I like to call "would an atheist have the same treatment". In this scenario, you're driving down the road in your van and accidentally burn through a red light, smashing a small sedan. A young man, barely 16 years old is killed in the crash.

With Kim Jong-il getting on in years, it's difficult to imagine just what is going through his insane little mind. Technically, Korea is still under the command of his deceased father, just to show you the kind of weird shit that goes on over there. Now Kim is claiming that they are testing nukes underground, and according to seismologists, this isn't a bluff. I'm not usually a fear monger, but this kind of ...

Can anyone listen to what this man says and still think the Catholic Church is a saintly organization? Pay close attention to the pain and honesty of this man and tell me that nothing should be done... ...

Now that former President Bush is no longer in the White House, his ability to control public opinion has waned, and frightening new facts are being revealed that demonstrate the kind of fanatical, dangerous ideas George believed in. When trying to form his coalition shortly before the war, Bush spoke to French president Jacques Chirac, informing him that the forces of Apocalypse were amassing in the Middle ...

It looks like gays wanting to marry in the state of California aren't done fighting for it. The California Supreme court upheld Prop 8, proving once again that even state judges are unable to understand their own constitutions. Because lawyers fighting for gay rights had no precedence from which to base their case other than the fact that gays are provided fewer rights than their straight counterparts. I'm ...

Scientology is in the news again, and that's not usually a good sign. As we speak, the French, who have not recognized Scientology as a religion, are threatening to dissolve the organization due to its campaign of fraud. The case in question revolves around a woman who was recruited by the church back in 1998. In the span of a few months, her bank account had been tapped by purchasing books, vitamins, and a ...
