Family sees Jesus in Marmite lid
It’s not enough that we have to put up with the fact that Marmite (also known as Vegemite) exists; we now have to deal with some of its fans thinking that the face of Jesus has appeared on one of its lid. Look, if there is a god and he’s trying to communicate with you, [...]

11. March 2010
Hi guys, I’m back in Montreal, but while I try to get things back in order, it means regular blogging won’t start until tomorrow. Ryan and I will try to catch up on podcasting as well, but if we can’t, rest assured that next week we’re back to our regular schedule. In the meantime, if [...]

8. March 2010
Here’s another study that homophobic bigots can casually ignore; Two evolutionary psychologists (yes, these guys are making the news a lot recently) have offered a unique explanation as to the evolutionary value of homosexuality. You see, since gays tend to not breed, the basic question of “why would homosexuality persist if the genes for it [...]

8. March 2010
If religionists offend us by calling atheists “immoral”, “scummy” or just plain “evil”, we do what any rational and confident person of sound judgement does: we ignore them (or if you’re like me, you write steamy vitriol in your pathetic blog). That’s usually the extent of our outrage, but for religious folks, who benefit from [...]

6. March 2010
It still amazes me that gays and lesbians can still cling to their bigoted religion, even when these institutions have made it quite clear that they aren’t welcomed. In Boulder, Colorado, a preschooler was booted from a private Catholic school because his/her parents were lesbians, and this violates the Church’s firm belief that homosexuality is an abomination. Now, [...]

5. March 2010
A few days ago, Carisa and I recorded a podcast about a rather disturbing law being proposed in Utah that would make “recklessness” during pregnancy a criminal offense, with a possibility of life imprisonment for feticide. Imagine my surprise to find these kinds of laws acually exist in 35 different states in the US. Recently, a [...]

5. March 2010
I received an email from the 10:23 team today asking for people in the UK to join their struggle to end the government’s subsidization of homeopathy. You might remember the group hilarious “mass suicide” protest just a few weeks back. Their goal is to have the government follow the recommendation of all major scientific institutions that [...]

4. March 2010
A few days ago, an orca named Tilikum dragged trainer Dawn Brancheau down into the water, drowning her before a crowd of spectators. This wasn’t the first time the killer whale was involved in a deadly incident, and this has galvanized the American Family Association into action. They released a statement saying this tragedy could [...]

2. March 2010
Is it so wrong of me to delight in the pleasure of reading truly terrible and infantile articles trying to “prove” the existence of God? Even though the arguments never change, I still delight in reading the faithful drone on and on about just how real God is, despite the fact that they themselves readily [...]
