OK, so remember how the US finally jailed their first priest for covering up sexual abuse? We all felt as though this was a positive sign of things to come, didn't we? Well, as great as that felt, it seems as though justice is slow in coming to the Vatican. Jailing the Pope's butler for leaking damning memos demonstrating the extent of corruption is a bigger priority for these fuckers. Pope Benedict XVI's b ...

It was only a matter of time before the millions of African men, women, and children slowly dying of AIDS would shame the Catholic Church into changing its stance on condom use. In a new book set to be released, based on conversations with the Pope, Benedict said in some cases, using a piece of rubber on your dick would not make God angry. When he was asked if his church was against condom use, he said: “It ...

Here's another "hey, atheists are being mean and should stop" article from someone clearly annoyed that people on Reddit have less than kind things to say about religion. If you want to find out why I call these guys Reddit Atheists, take a brief dip into the atheism subreddit. It is a place entirely defined by bitter, faux-enlightened young people sharing “thought-provoking” images about the horrific evils ...

This week, Carisa joins me as we talk about global warming, Curiosity rover landing on Mars, and the shooting at a Sikh temple by a white supremacist. Be sure to consult the show notes if you want to see the 7 minutes of terror video. ...

Perhaps I'm not the best person to offer advice on how to deal with trolls. My site gets relatively light traffic, and the people who visit tend to be way too polite, nice, or otherwise supportive. My lack of popularity in a sense has shielded me from the kind of criticism you're reglarly subjected to. Still, I feel I understand why your positions have been so villified, and why you often find yourself outs ...

This week, our Bible Stories campaign gets resurrected from the dead, and we talk about gun control in America. I expect there to be lots of discussion, so please be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments! ...

There's a predictable pattern to the way religious people deal with tragedy. Undoubtedly, this kind of horrific thing makes them question the dogma they've been spoon fed their entire life - that an omnipotent being cares for their well being, especially when it seems so senseless; the evils of the world throw this 'loving god' thing back in their face, and they don't like it. Then come the rationalizations ...

I think Plato said it best: "Be kind to everyone you meet, for they are fighting a hard battle". My 'hard battle' was having to shut down the Kickstarter campaign 24 hours before we were set to receive almost 20k in support monies. The reason this had to be done is best explained by my American partner, Lena: My name's Lena, I was Jacob's American partner on this campaign. I want to personally apologize to ...

This is it folks! The final 60 hours before my Bible Stories Kickstarter Campaign is over. So, to celebrate this event (ok, maybe more to entice you), this show will be available for free as long as the campaign is on. So, better hurry up and download it and then go buy a pre-order of the book right after! ...

It's almost over folks, and we're almost at 20k. That's over 200% of our goal, proving the excitement for Bible Stories is through the roof! If you're one of the few who promised to purchase a copy but hasn't done so already, head on over to the Kickstarter page and take advantage of the chance to get your face illustrated in the book. The first person to break us past the 20k mark will have their subscript ...
