I'm sick and tired of "Christian scientists". Apart from having a horribly misleading name, these morons don't care in the slightest about science. They are in truth opposed to scientific progress, which they view as a direct challenge to God's will. If you are sick and need medical help, it's time to get busy praying, and not calling the doctor. This story about a 15 year old girl being disowned for having ...

Neil is a fun and interesting speaker. Here he is trying to argue that Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance, and that if we continue to allow creationists to undermine science, the state of intellectual progress in America is likely to suffer serious setbacks. I think it's sad that people invoke God to explain what they don't know. It's intellectually lazy, and doesn't lead to any real scientific ...

I think most of you know that I'm not a big fan of Mother Teresa. I think she gives atheism a bad name, but that's a whole other story altogether. I found her corrupt, nasty, and evil just like the institution she represents. What a surprise to find that someone close to her was also a steaming pile of shit: Father Donald Maguire, a frequent spiritual advisor to Mother Teresa is facing charges of child mole ...

How long does it take to brainwash a human being into becoming a suicide bomber? About a month, apparently. If you want to know how messed up the Taliban is, you need to head over to the Independent and learn more about how they kidnap young boys at gunpoint and indoctrinate the shit out of them in their training camps. The boys are taught your predictable "Pakistan is a tool of Western Oppression", and sho ...

I received this email from friend of the site, April, who informed me of this brand of atheist centered clothing: Hi Jacob, A friend recently forwarded me this link [www.thearrogantatheist.com], I thought it might be loosely related to your recent topics of more atheists being open in public about their lack of belief. I'm not too keen on the use of the word "arrogant," but if you are going to be smarmy why ...

What I think I like the most about this is the fact that this was ripped right off the Scientology commercial. It just makes a lot more sense when the voice over tells you not to believe in God, rather than trust that an Intergalactic Tyrant called Xenu killed off billions of aliens in Earth's volcanoes to enslaved their souls and make us doubt ourselves. Just saying that shit out loud makes me feel like I' ...

Christians hate plurality. They realize that if you start celebrating every stinking holiday, they might start having to share the spotlight with other faiths, or others that have no faith. I love how outraged Gretchen (what a terrible and tragic name) is at "Festivus", as though this harmless little holiday is going to bring upon the destruction of mankind. She's also terrified that little kids might see a ...

When I was originally writing my book, I had a substantial chunk of it done before I realized that it was not the direction I wanted to go. Apparently, this is quite common when writing books. Still, it would be stupid not to at least share some of it with you guys, especially the patrons, who have been generous enough to fund this crazy project we call The Good Atheist. Every week, I hope to be able to sho ...

I've never hidden the fact that I love Family Guy. Sometimes I get the feeling that Seth MacFarlane is secretly listening to my conversations. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, and that's a good thing. Well, Seth and the gang made an episode about abortion, and Fox is too chicken shit to put it on the air. They did allow Seth to produce it (which surprises me a little), so expect to see this ...

I think it's sad when experts in nonsense don't even know their own shit. Hey father, I think I can answer this stupid question: The simple explanation is that everyone was fucking each other, regardless of whether or not they were related. Son fucking mothers, Dads shagging daughters; you get the idea. Of course, if you think that's all very gross, you can feel some kind of relief from the fact that IT'S A ...
