So, according to this guy, atheists are a plague; a bunch of unimaginative accountants of rationalism, unable to appreciate the beauty of a Picasso because we have yet to surrender our reason to dogma. Likewise, the audience that Greg Craven tries to appeal to (disgruntled Catholics who feel attacked by "new atheists") believe every single nonbeliever is a crusty curmudgeon hell bent on ruining everyone's " ...

Remember the story of Daniel Hauser? His parents refused to give him chemotherapy because of their New Age beliefs, and the courts had to step in and force them to finish giving him his treatments. At first, they tried running away from the law, but they were caught shortly after (it's harder than you think to go on the lamb!). I'm happy to report that Daniel now appears to be cancer free. It's a miracle! W ...

Ray put this link on his blog, arguing because this amputated man is making something with his life, this is one of "God's miracles". I don't think I need to remind everyone prosthetic limbs are actually an invention of science, or a loving God would have made his limb grow back (now that would be a fucking miracle!). Man, religious people sure look for any excuse to thank God, don't they? Also, don't you f ...

Here's a bit of weird news: an Italian atheist is suing a parish priest for repeatedly claiming Jesus Christ was a historical figure. Luigi Cascioli is a 72 year old lifelong non-believer who has grown tired of Italians blindly accepting the notion of the literal existence of God, and has decided to involve the courts. It's a fairly amusing tactic, but since the burden of proof is on Cascioli to disprove th ...

I will never get over the fact human beings worship inanimate objects. Here is a bunch of sad idiots who think a tree stump is an apparition of the Virgin Mary. You can see from this video how impressed everyone is by what is obviously just a fucking tree stump. How sad that we live in a world where we know why people have a tendency to see shapes and patterns in things (it's called pareidolia), and yet we ...

So, this women is on chemotherapy and has surgery to remove her tumors. They luckily didn't return, and she is cured. While her doctors were busy using science to save her life, she's given a disgusting old finger bone of some obscure dead priest by friend, and suddenly, we're supposed to forget the fact she was being treated for cancer and believe a divine miracle saved her. So while the real story is we h ...

I've been seeing this argument popping up more and more often these days. It's a relative newcomer in terms of claim, but it certainly is one that's worth discussing. Last article I mentioned how the word 'faith' is a misnomer; I've never actually met a Christian who did not think there was a mountain of evidence supporting their claim that Jesus of Nazareth was a God. Really the only time you'll actually h ...

This article made me want to include a little list of why Superman is better than Jesus. I've made a comparative list so I can definitively prove the last son of Krypton is superior to the King of Kings in almost every way. Superman has saved the planet for destruction numerous times. Jesus has threatened to return and bring on the end of the earth with him, but so far is a fucking 'no-show'. Jesus performe ...

I thought the whole Texas Board of Education nonsense was over when the creationists were narrowly defeated, but it looks like they are introducing another amendment allowing teachers to tell students there is some 'debate' as to the age of the universe. If you think a debate amounts to every serious scientist on this planet accepting the modern estimates at 13.5 billion years versus a group of undereducate ...

Nadya Suleman has an obsession. Since she was a teenager, she's dreamed of being a mother. Nadya has recently given birth to octuplets, adding 8 children to a house that already has 6 of them. She is not married, lives in a small apartment, and when asked how she plans on taking care of so many babies, she responded simply that she will look to God for answers. The eyes of the nation are on her, but I think ...
