Won’t someone think of the children?!

It doesn't surprise me that Latter Day Saints are always trying to destroy any bill that would allow gays to have equal rights. Here's an exerpt from one of their recent emails concerning a bill which would allow homosexuals to have recognized civil unions: The Civil Union Bill (HB 2234) has been scheduled for a hearing in the Youth and Family Committee this week on Thursday, March 5, 2009 at 9:00 a.m. in S ...

Texas loves abstinence teaching

You know what I find so hilarious about abstinence teaching? It isn't the fact it's so ineffective, or states that teach this garbage have higher pregnancy and STD rates. No, what I love above all else is how much that garbage costs. Take Texas, where 96% of their sex ed is abstinence only at the tune of 18 million dollars. Well, that's how much it costs to teach it, but it certainly doesn't reflect the hum ...

The list is quite impressive, including even ...

It seems the most conservative states in America are the biggest consumers of porn. Are they more perverted than liberally minded people? No. But because the tantalizing fruit of hard core pornography is so sweet, it's imp ...

Is atheism politically deadly?

When I first asked myself this question, I concluded admitting to the American population that you are not a believer equates political seppuku. All of the 22 closet atheists sitting in Congress today agree, save one: Pete Stark. The Democratic senator from Northern California has stated he's an agnostic, but also admitted to not believing in a higher power. I can appreciate his diplomatic stance on religio ...

How well do I fit the atheist stereotype?

Atheist Revolution just put up a list of the common stereotypes of atheists. It's not a bad list, but looking at it, I realize that I am myself quite the little stereotype. Here are the qualities I possess: I am politically very liberal. I guess I do hate Christianity, although I will admit that I don't hate Christians. I can be grump, but on me, it's charming. I am prideful, and humility is not my strength ...
