Are you familiar with the Bible and still mysteriously think it's the word of God? Well, there's a new trivia game for you hosted by the King of Rednecks himself, Jeff Foxworthy, called "American Bible Challenge". Fresh off his last terrible game show (you may remember it was all about humiliating adults by proving a 6th grader knew more trivia), this new one aims to pit teams of believers against one anoth ...

If you're like me, you get a kick out of reading articles by religious people who claim to have the perfectly crafted argument which will finally win us over to the side of superstitious nonsense. Barring the serious amount of head trauma needed for such a conversion, I read these articles because they're a small window into the tortured logic of believers. Perhaps there's a part of me still waiting for som ...

Hey gang, we're just about to pass the 10 day mark for the Bible Stories book campaign, and we're still aiming for 30k in order to help launch a book tour as well. I've already been scoping out venues (Houston is looking promising so far), but until we get a little closer to our new goal, I can't make any hard plans. The driving force behind wanting to step outside of my comfort zone should be obvious by no ...

Someone on r/atheism found this Ray Comfort flyer entitled Scientific Facts in the Bible: 100 Reasons to believe the Bible is Supernatural in Origin. The ironic title demonstrates the true stupidity at work here. Check out these awesome excerpts: Try to think of any explosion that has produced order. Does a terrorist bomb create harmony? Big bangs cause chaos. How could a big bang produce a rose, apple tree ...

If you've been wondering where your shows are this week, you'll have to do a little digging if you want to listen to yours truly this week. Since I'm doing promotion for Bible Stories this week, I've managed to be a guest on several podcasts, including The Imaginary Friends Show, Cognitive Dissonance, and Post-Rapture Looting. So, be sure to check out my interviews and possibly be introduced to a new show y ...

When you believe in a dogma without question, odds are you've managed to find fertile ground for your racist, sexist, or bigoted ideas. Like this South African man who apparently forgot apartheid wasn't quite over: A Muslim police officer in Johannesburg says his religion does not allow him to share a toilet with black colleagues, according to a report on Wednesday. "I am a Muslim and they need to consider ...

Going up against Islam, as a woman in a predominently Islamic country? Let's just say she has bigger balls than I do. It's this kind of bravery that will change the world for the better. ...

If you're a religious fundie, odds are your level of respect for other living creatures not gifted with 'a soul' is not very high. Most fundamentalists see violence and cruelty towards animals as just a normal part of everyday life. God, in their deluded eyes, gave them total dominion over animals, and that means you can treat them like shit if you want. How else can you explain this bit of cruelty? Ex FLDS ...

Man, I never realized Katie Holmes marrying Tom Cruise would be such a blessing in disguise. While I figured she would eventually break away from the cult, I never realized it was going to turn into a Lifetime movie version of Not Without My Daughter. Tom's carefully crafted public image is crumbling under increased media pressure, curious about Scientology and increasingly unafraid of the consequences of c ...

Well, finally a bit of good news this week. It seems as though a New Zealand Primary school is no longer offering Bible studies, as no one is actually interested in reading the damn thing. Hey, I speak from experience here: I am, after all, writing a book on the Bible, and trust me when I say it's often a big snooze fest. It's certainly not the kind of material I would recommend to kids (how can you even te ...
