When the Daily Show did a segment on the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s quest to stop a Mother Teresa stamp from being issued by the US Post Office, I figured that us atheists would end up looking not so hot as a result. After all, talking shit about MT nowadays is the equivalent of ripping [...]

Remember a few months ago, when people still cared about the plight of Haiti (you know, before the world lost interest and turned their attention to something else), and a group of missionaries were facing charges of child kidnapping? Well, it looks like despite breaking the law, they’ve been sentence to time served (which amounts [...]

It must be nice to not have to answer to any authority whatsoever when you’ve committed a series of heinous crimes. While the secular world tries to grow enough balls to bring Pope Benedict XVI to justice (I really wouldn’t hold my breath, people), the pontiff is still free to try and play down the [...]

Ignorance of the law is not an adequate defense. If you don’t believe me, try debating a parking ticket in Montreal (which has possibly the most convoluted and confusing parking laws in the world). This important lesson appears to be lost on the 10 Baptists that were jailed a few days ago for allegedly trying [...]

A group of 10 missionaries with little experience and few braincells have been arrested in Haiti for suspected child trafficking after they attempted to sneak 33 kids out of the country. The 5 women and 5 men are all members of a small Baptist church in Idaho, and claim they were merely trying to help [...]

Looks like John Travolta is a man of his word; a few days ago he was talking about flying a bunch of his weirdos in yellow shirts to the devastated country, and a news report has come out stating that a “private donor” has sent 80 volunteer (along with 50 real doctors) down there. The problem [...]

It’s not enough that religious wackos like Pat Robertson claim that 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 [...]

Haiti is still suffering from the aftermath of a devastating earthquake, and by all reports, there still isn’t enough food, water, and medicine to go around. Luckily, an organization called “Faith Comes By Hearing” has a solution for these desperate people; they are sending them 600 audio Bibles. The Proclaimer, as it’s called, is a [...]

I complain about Christian charity organizations all the time, but since most of the population in Haiti actually believes in the same religion (with a few added voodoo rituals), I’m not really that worried about their incessant need to proselytize. What I AM concerned about, however, is John Travolta and his marry band of Scientologists [...]

How awesome is this guy? Here he is schooling Pat Robertson on history, showing that the victory of Haiti over the French led not only to the purchase of Louisiana by the United States for roughly 3 cents an acre, but also to the eventual independence of South America. Their historic and heroic victory would [...]
