Get your shit together, America!
You keep hearing that America is a divided nation. What that means is that a certain portion of the population still believes that homosexuals should be beaten or killed, that the Government should be ruled as a theocracy, and that only free market principles can help take care of people’s health issues (it’s been working [...]

Wednesday, August 26, 2009
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 [...]

Before my buddy Jeff came out of the closet, he was a homophobe. I never really understood why, but later he explained to me that it had to do with his secret loathing of himself because of his sexual attraction to other men. I’ve never had to deal with such a powerful internal conflict, but [...]

I’ve written many times on the issue of child witches in Africa. Every year, thousands of kids are abandoned, beaten or killed because their parents or family members suspect them of being witches. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that in Nigeria alone, over 930,000 children are orphaned by HIV/AIDS, and often their remaining [...]

Thursday, June 18, 2009
I’m getting uncomfortably acclimatized to the violent rhetoric of pastors in America. It seems like every other day, some local preacher is defending the murder of Dr. Tiller, accusing the man of all kins of terrible crimes, and raising his murderer to the status of martyr. It’s not the first time a deranged killer gets [...]

I hate the use of the word “war” in reference to any particular conflict. When I think of a war, I think of the innocent that suffer at the hands of sadistic and murderous zealots that would do anything for power. Wars bring out the very worst attributes of mankind; in conflicts we are cruel, [...]

Wednesday, May 6, 2009
Austin Cline over at about.com put together this comprehensive list of surveys that show just how despised atheists are as a minority. When Americans were asked who they would vote for, the atheist “candidate” was always the most hated one. For people like you and me, this kind of attitude seems pretty puzzling. Sure, we [...]

Monday, May 4, 2009
Personally I’m pretty sick and tired of religious individuals commenting on atheism when they have absolutely no idea what it means to not believe in God. Let me assure you, religious readers, that I am not an atheist because of an abusive or absent father (an idea so insultingly wrong that I usually choose not [...]

Wednesday, March 18, 2009
In the Western world, we are mostly isolated from the deadly effect of the AIDS virus. Those who have it usually don’t make much publicity for themselves, and some hide it completely. In Africa, however, the disease is a plague that is slowly killing off their population. It makes orphans of children who then starve [...]

Some people love the Bible. They receive a form of comfort every time they read a passage they like, and for the most part, it’s a fairly innocuous habit. We should not forget, however, that the Bible, when taken as a whole, is an inadequate moral guide for modern society. Kenneth Cummings Jr. learned that [...]
