There's a part of me (a small one, I assure you) that admires the conviction of creationists. They, at least, are honest about the fact that the science of evolution is a pretty huge slap in the face to the notion of a creator God. Not only does it completely invalidate their silly mythology, it also clearly indicates that human beings are a product of descent with modification, and not some special creatio ...

"According to our Forefathers, God is the platform" Yeah, so much so that they wrote an amendment specifically mentioning the fact that the government was not in the business of endorsing any religion, or forcing someone to pass a religious test to enter office. It was also the first fucking thing they wrote, but I'm sure a failed TV actor has a much better understanding of how they felt than historians, or ...

Carisa's new vlog project (that's 'video blog' for those of us who don't use 'YouTube') is called 'Geek Bleep'. It's her attempt to express her love of all things nerdy in video form, and today's post is about your's truly. As you've probably guessed, it's a video making fun of me, so enjoy it before I get it taken down for blasphemy or something. ...

Can you imagine hiring these lamers for your kid's birthday party? I'm not sure they realize this, but tantalizing kids with the prospect of puppies, ice cream or sports memorabilia, only to show them an empty box that turns into a cross is the mother of all lame finales. "Look kids, the greatest gift God has ever given us is invisible!". (via Christian Nightmares) ...

It doesn't matter how loud you scream in your opposition to religion being intertwined with politics. The decision has already been made. For those of you who thought perhaps the Democratic party had finally woken up to the idea that us 'nones' are an important enough minority that our desire to have a true separation of church and state would influence their policy. We were tantalized with the possibility ...

Every once in while, a church leader will say something he actually thinks, and we're given a snapshot into the mental lives of priests. As most of you can guess, it isn't usually a pretty picture: religions are an old boys' club that places fraternity over morality. This has allowed an institution like the Catholic Church to continue to harbor and defend child rapists. Even if you've never forced yourself ...

Don't you love it when Christians make creepy videos telling you the 'good news' that you're a sinning piece of filth who doesn't even deserve God's awesome love? Here's a Walmart greeter to tell you that you don't have to spend forever in torment if you just accept that a 2000 year old Palestinian Jew of questionable historical merit was the creator of the cosmos. Oh, the catch is, if you don't, you'll bur ...

Get ready to shit your pants laughing. Hey, how are these 'actors' going to feel in 10 years when they realize they were in such a bigoted ad? Could you imagine starring in a commercial in the 60s condemning interracial marriages? Hey, I know times are tough, but surely paying the mortgage isn't worth that fucking stain on your character. Paid for by this mysterious entity. (props Jessica at Friendly Atheis ...

What's the fastest way to make a buck? How about exploiting desperate people afflicted with incurable diseases? Judging by the video above, it seems like they are ready to believe any promise of improved health, regardless of whether or not it has any solid merit. Desperate people make the greatest suckers, don't they? Enter Advance Cell Training, a program that claims to help you beat even treatable illnes ...

As Germany and the Netherlands consider banning the barbaric and totally useless practice of 'male circumcision' (a better word is simply genital mutilation), they face mounting resistance from religious groups who accuse them of anti-Semitism or other such nonsense. While the WHO claims it can help lower the spread of HIV, the actual supporting figures are pretty weak, and may actually lead to risky behavi ...
