As some of you may know, I am not an American. I'm your neighbor from the Great White North (who is supposed to spell neighbor with a "u" but doesn't to avoid confusion), which means that my attitude regarding finances and politics tends to be more on the left than your average apple pie baking Good Old Boy. I was born in the province of Quebec, perhaps the most socialist of all the provinces in this countr ...

Is there much more that needs to be added here? I wonder what the scumbag evangelical version of this commercial would be. Presumably both of these men dying of AIDS (sent by a vengeful God, of course) while they worship Satan or something. Hey jerk-offs, can you explain to me what's wrong with thinking the above video is beautiful? ...

For those of you that still naively believe that believing in nonsense can't harm you, I present to you reason #1,697,456 why religion is fucking evil: a church called the Synagogue Church of All Nations has apparently been telling some of their parishioners that they don't need to take their AIDS medication in favor of prayer. As you can guess, a number of premature deaths have occurred, and while official ...

I hate the way non-scientists keep arguing that "science doesn't know everything", or that "new research supports my [insert bullshit idea here]. The latest confused buffoon is Andrew Sullivan, who has a new section where you can ask him questions. It seems that he's been reading the same book I have (Pinker's "Angels of our Better Natures; Why violence has declined), but he's come to vastly different concl ...

Not only does his name sound like a bad-ass metal band, but he is also the "Co-Prophet of the End Times". That's nutjob for "I think Jesus chose me to deliver you the good news about his planned mass slaughter". He's so crazy that one scary sounding name fantasizing about the death of countless human beings was not enough. Priceless moments include: - Referring to "withdrawal" as a Planned Parenthood form o ...

Yet another quality video from YouTube sensation QualiSoup, and this time, he focuses on some of William Lane Craig's arguments that only a God can allow for objective morality. I haven't had time to read Sam Harris' new book, so I can't pretend to know what his arguments are, but I've always been suspicious of the idea that objective morality exists. That's not to suggest that we should all throw our hands ...

So, according to a dude who heard voices in his head, God speaks in exactly the same voice that you do, and magically agrees with everything you say. Now, I should warn you that the tiny, insignificant voice in the back of your head that keeps on criticizing your decision not to question that voice is really the devil. He's so tricky, he'll try and convince you that you're merely choosing to re-enforce your ...

Every so often, I hear someone claim that honor killings have nothing to do with Islam. While it's true that the practice is actually older than the religion (it is, after all, the "new kid on the block" compared to the other two Abrahamic Religions), it seems as though this barbaric ritual has found fertile ground in this religion. While the practice has its roots in much older Arab patriarchal societies t ...

This week, I interview the author of the book "The Last Testament: A Memoir by God" by David Javerbaum. If the name sounds familiar, you might know him as the head writer and later executive producer of the Daily Show. You might also own one of his other books, including "America: A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction". If you love the show and want even more content, then become a member today for as lit ...

Fan of the show William is beaming with pride, and with good reason: he's a member of the Reno Coalition of Reason, and they're celebrating the erection of this billboard, asking: "are you good without God? Millions are!". It's great to see how effective atheists have gotten at organizing and spreading the word that non-believers aren't a fringe group. We're much larger than anyone imagines, and we're getti ...
