The deal with religious satire

Ok, I figured it's about time I said something about religious satire on the net. There are a number of articles floating around TGA that may in fact be satire rather than the real thing, including this video and this article. My issue is with the fact that a) most of the people who watch read these articles or watch these videos have no idea it is in fact satire and are therefore convinced it's real, and b ...

Rand Paul head-stomper wants an apology

Welcome to bizzaro world, where up is down, wrong is right, and where the man who stomped a Moveon.org supporter in the head wants an apology. "I don't think it's that big of a deal," Profitt said. "I would like for her to apologize to me to be honest with you." "She's a professional at what she does," Profitt added, "and I think when all the facts come out, I think people will see that she was the one that ...

Christian Prof wants to disrupt atheist organizations

Christians are sore losers. Every time they lose a court decision (say, like Roe v Wade), they continue to try to fight it with every ounce of their being. It would be admirable if it wasn't inspired by the insipid fantasy of religion. A recent ruling from the Supreme Court has them all fired up again. It ruled Christian campus groups could not continue to benefit from equal access to school facilities if t ...

The Assassination of Dr. George Tiller

Those of you that followed this story from the day it happened will not want to miss this special documentary produced by the Rachel Maddow show. Listening to Scott Roeder is a chilling reminder of what happens when a climate of fear and hatred is perpetually stoked by religious fundamentalists. The rest of the videos are after the jump. ...

French Muslims demand state schools make changes

France has a problem; it seems as though Muslims are not integrating well in their country, and many are making unrealistic demands of secular schools, including adding halal to the cafeteria menus, sizing down courses that teach about other world religions, and an opt-out option for classes about the evolution, the Holocaust, or France's war in Algeria. In other words, they want an education that matches t ...

Nice job, Teabaggers

I tell you, does a day go by without Tea-Baggers doing something crazy? What's hilarious about this whole thing is just how milquetoast the assaulted woman's protest really was; she wanted to present a fake award to Rand Paul for the merger of corporate interests with the Republican Party. And because this is America, poor and uneducated idiots felt the need to defend these helpless corporations and their g ...

Checkmate, atheists!

Well, I guess TGA has to shut down and officially call it quits, people. How else can you refute such impenetrable logic? I just have one question for this poor girl: have you even read the fucking Bible? If you can stand listening to this spectacular dummy, enjoy her other video on how atheists aren't logical. If by the end you haven't thrown your computer against the wall, you get a gold star! NOTE: I lov ...

Tennessee Faith Schools excel at failure

If you think reading, writing, and mathematics are tools of the devil, you should consider moving to Tennessee. It turns out a loophole in the state constitution allows faith schools to be exempt from mandatory testing, which means kids attending these schools tend to have terrifyingly low reading, writing and math comprehension skills. Parents who send their children to these dummy institutions often find ...
