Turkey is a strange country. In the 1920s, a military commander, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, started the Turkish national movement after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and formed the country now known as Turkey. He made special provisions to make the country secular, in order to prevent the Islamic church from wrestling control away from him. Like in the United States, the population is highly religious, and ...

Unreasonable Faith asks an interesting question to the faithful: What if God was Disproved? I think, however, the answer to this question is fairly obvious: they would ignore it. Think about all the things religious people already ignore: evolution, the Constitution, sexual preferences (that one literally scares them to death); they even ignore parts of their own religious text they find inconvenient. I thi ...

I found this great list of 50 reasons why 'Bobbie-the-Jean' doesn't believe in Evolution. It's a brilliant bit of satire if I may say so myself. Here are the best ones: 3.) Because if I can't immediately understand how something works, then it must be bullshit. 20.) Because my mom dropped me on my head when I was a baby. 44.) Because I believe there is a strong comparison between designed inanimate objects ...

If you live in Oklahoma and you're not an idiot, then this piece of news is likely to ruin your day. Representative Todd Thomsen tried to introduce a resolution to ban Richard Dawkins from speaking at the University of Oklahoma. The reason, as you may have guessed, is that Thomsen feels that the Theory of Evolution is offensive to him. THAT the Oklahoma House of Representative strongly opposes the invitatio ...

This was an old video, but listening to these guys talk is painful. I love how this guy says "we're trained to think like evolutionists. We need to think like creationists". No, you really fucking don't, buddy. ...

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 ...

Here's a video of Richard Dawkins' smooth moves. Yes, I'm sure if you had the time, healthyaddict might have taken her up on the offer. There's nothing sexier than a girl who loves evolution! ...

I'd be a bad Canadian if I didn't attempt to encourage all of you Canuck fans to get off your asses and take part in the letter writing campaign to convince Ottawa to allow atheist ads on their buses. As our nation's capital, it's their obligation to see all minorities are represented equally. I don't give a shit if they are worried about the ads offending people; you cannot have a democracy and a right to ...

I get frustrated once in a while when I meet someone who has a limited understanding of evolution, but it's a whole other bag if you live somewhere that actually dismisses it! That's why a small fledgling group called The Southern Skeptical Society is trying to organize to help fight the irrational tendencies of anything south of the Mason-Dixon line. If any of you are there or know someone who is, then vis ...

It always surprises me how little religious people actually understand atheism. I believe it has something to do with the fact they can't possibly imagine why anyone would choose to reject the notion of God. It must be doubly confusing if your entire life is defined by your faith. It's this fundamental lack of understanding that's behind the latest claim from Jake the Evangelical, who says atheists can't po ...
