If you thought a country like France was free from the influence of religion on their science programs, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. The government was planning on easing restriction on embryonic cell research, but the Catholic Church lobbied hard to prevent this, and it appears they've had some success. “The Catholics have succeeded in imposing their view on embryos and seem to be succeeding in ...

There's a storm-a-brewin' in Australia, and a controversial church group called "Catch the Fire Ministries". Their leader, a nutjob by the name of Daniel Nalliah, is crazy enough the Family First Party asked him to step down as a candidate after he published brochures that said God would destroy "Satan's Strongholds", which included mosques and Buddhist temples. Nalliah's big problem right now is the Prime ...

Oh Texas, can you possibly go one day without embarassing yourself? It wasn't enough that your governor is trying to prevent women from having abortions: now one of your counties has erected a monument to the Ten Commandments in the courthouse square of Oldham County. The constitutionality of displaying the Ten Commandments in public squares and buildings has been tested elsewhere with varying results. "The ...

If you're a pregnant woman faced with the difficult decision of aborting your child, Gov. Rick Perry has a few words for you: "When you consider the magnitude of the decision to have an abortion, ensuring that the patient understands what's truly at stake seems a small step to take," Gov. Perry said. "When someone has all the information, the right choice - the choice of life - becomes clear. Now our legisl ...

I can't imagine the kind of terror I would experience if I was a woman and suddenly was faced with a complication in my pregnancy at a Catholic Hospital. The Church's dogma concerning abortion is one that causes the misery and death of countless women, all because they're convinced babies are all miracles of a male God, and conclude abortionists are worse than child molesters (you can't rape what doesn't ex ...

The Hitchens/Blair debate has been over for a while, but for some Catholics, the fact Tony was utterly tooled is still a bit of a sore spot. With all those weeks passed since the debate, a few theists are still trying to figure out what Blair could have said to hold his own. During the debate, Hitchens made the point religion has done no favor to women, and only by emancipating them from the slavery of thei ...

WARNING: the content of this video may cause anger, spasms, and a general feeling of hopelessness about the future. What if I told you, little girl, thousands of women get abortions due to the fact nature is a cruel ass bitch who doesn't behave like a Disney fairy tale where every pregnancy has no complications, and everything is hunky-dory? Abortions are being performed on 5 month old fetuses all the time ...

Every once in a while, I manage to find articles written by religious leaders that I find refreshingly honest. It doesn't happen very often, mind you, but when it does, it gives me hope these deluded fools will eventually realize their religion is on a serious death spiral. The latest bastion of honesty comes courtesy of a retired Baptist Minister, Rev. Howard Bess who confesses the reasons young people are ...

If you aren't familiar with what Hell Houses are, imagine for a moment the most tasteless play in the world, featuring rape, gruesome abortions, and simulated murder. Sure, that still sounds like a lot of fun, until you realize way too late the performance is actually done by evangelical Christians who want to shock people into believing in a literal Hell. Oh, and they force you to pray at the end for forgi ...

Now I know most of my readers are probably depressed as shit that their country is back under the partial control of anti-abortionist, homophobic old pieces of shit, so this video will hopefully put a smile on your face. It's the best I can do for you right now...Sorry. ...
