"Our Freedom comes from God" I've heard this argument before. Apparently when you're living in a delusional bubble, only an all powerful entity can grant people the freedom to damn themselves to an eternity of hellfire. Wow, sure sounds like a fair deal. ...

Whenever I hear the words Vatican and "reform", I can't help but laugh. Here's an institution that, for a greater part of Western history, has benefited from unchecked powers. It wasn't until the 19th century the Papal States were annexed, and even then, fascist dictator Mussolini allowed the organization "statehood" in exchange for cooperation in his new government. Now, this archaic and evil organization ...

Don't you just love how Christians, convinced they are humble and meek, claim to speak for God? Even if such an entity did exist, why does this 20 year old dummy think he's qualified to speak on "his" behalf? How is that not the height of arrogance? "God makes Kings, and the rules by which they govern". Hey kid, we actually rejected the notion of kings for the stifling, freedom killing bastards they were. O ...

If child rape wasn't enough bad karma for you, try this one for size: Catholic run hospitals in Spain took part in a massive baby kidnapping campaign that lasted over 4 decades. When a fan of the show sent me the link I was too dumbstruck to believe it at first. I mean, how much evil shit can one organization do, and when will I stop being so naive? It turns out that during the regime of Francisco Franco, t ...

You have to love the French. I like the way they think. Apart from the bloody mess of their Revolution, and their tendency to allow horrible dictators a crack at running their country, every once in a while they do something remarkable (like inventing the metric system). Recently, a group of Atheists in France have created a petition to ensure that both Bibles and Korans have to be sold with a warning label ...

Oh Conservapedia, you're the gift that keeps on giving. We recently donated some money to Wikipedia, the reality-based crowd sourced encyclopedia, so I suppose it's only 'fair and balanced' we give its right wing la-la land equivalent some love too in the form of a post. On its front page next to such fine articles as "Is Barack Hussein Obama a president, or is he a dictator?" and "More than a thousand scie ...

You remember Pakistan right? It's the country currently being ruled by a military dictator who happens to be nice and chummy to Islamic groups who like to get women sentenced to death for blasphemy. They seem to be profoundly confused about what to do regarding the sacredness of the name "Muhammad", as they've recently arrested a man for throwing out a business card of someone who shared the namesake. You c ...

The first sign someone is a dangerous dictator usually comes when gigantic statues supposedly commemorating the fact these people are our lords and masters start popping up all over the place. It's a pretty old tactic which is as old as civilization itself. I would have hoped with the death of theocratic tyrants, we would be done with this dangerous tradition. Apparently not. A small town in Poland decided ...

It's not enough religious wackos like Pat Robertson claim Haiti is suffering because the country made a pact with the devil; now other morons are coming out and saying similarly insensitive and terrible shit. The latest scumbag is Dr. Wesley Stafford, who had this to say: Haiti ... has been a disaster in almost every way long before this ever struck. And it is a nation, between you and me, I guess, that Sat ...

It isn't good news that a nation with nuclear capabilities is slowly becoming a fundamentalist theocracy. Here is a disturbing article in the Guardian about how the growing intolerance of Muslims in Pakistan is having deadly consequences. A few weeks ago, I reported on a group of Christians who were attacked for allegedly defacing the Koran. Their homes were set on fire with them still inside, killing 9 in ...
