I've written countless articles denouncing these Christian preachers in Nigeria for accusing innocent children of witchcraft; it's one of the few times I've taken a subject so seriously. It isn't only because of the images of these poor children -victims of a toxic mix of ancient superstition and organized religion - are seared into my brain. No, my passion comes mainly from the fact that this issue has bee ...

As some of you may know, I am not an American. I'm your neighbor from the Great White North (who is supposed to spell neighbor with a "u" but doesn't to avoid confusion), which means that my attitude regarding finances and politics tends to be more on the left than your average apple pie baking Good Old Boy. I was born in the province of Quebec, perhaps the most socialist of all the provinces in this countr ...

Most of you know that I'm often critical of our community in terms of our charitably, as I've complained in the past that many of us are not willing to compete with financially supported organized religions yet. I'm convinced that the only way to fight the evils of religion is to play their game, to some degree. Part of that includes giving money to organizations that make an actual difference rather than o ...

So, what do you do when your neighbors think you're a satanic weirdo and the local car show doesn't want you to take part in any of their reindeer games? Well, one option is to create a gigantic light show expressing your anger and allegiance to the devil. Jackie Blevins built the display over a week ago. "[I] put this sign up here on the building because of what has happened right here," Blevins said as he ...

Once upon a time, before Facebook and the Internet, your stupid racist opinions used to only be your own. Because you lacked the ability to instantly communicate with 500 million people, it was unlikely that some poorly constructed half-thought would find its way into the minds of your peers. That's all changed now, and it seems as though when given a soapbox to express themselves, many human beings are cho ...

Remember how American elections are never about issues that are actually relevant to the health of the nation in general? Even while your economy continues to tank, politicians seem totally unconcerned that The Federal Reserve gave American banks over 7 trillion dollars with a negligible interest rate, or that the protracted War in Afghanistan and Iraq has cost them another 1.29 trillion. No, the most impor ...

Can you believe that gays serve openly in the military? Well, that shit won't fly when Rick is in power. No sir, every gay man and woman will have to remain in the closet again, to live out the rest of their lives in shame. Their very lifestyles are an affront to "Christian" values, and they are therefore less worthy of the same rights as everyone else. It was faith that created this country, first by decla ...

Can you believe the nerve of these Hollywood people? They dare to brainwash our kids with movies depicting oil executives as evil people. Why, that's just not true! Did you know all oil executives are cuddly teddy-bears that care deeply for the environment and for the future of children? Sure, you might think that these people are leveraging our future in order to make record profits, or that corporations l ...

I don't think that faith is a sign of weakness: I think it's a sign of an uninformed mind, reliant on ancient superstitions to give them a false sense of security and strength. Does it surprise me that people would believe? No. Ignorance is perfectly natural, incredibly persistent, and seemingly infinite. Those that flaunt this ignorance as a form of power and inspiration is what annoys me the most. Do I wa ...

What the hell is this song about? Why are they all dressed like gay candy-stripers? Is one of them incredibly short or is everyone else just super tall? So many questions, so few answers... ...
