If religionists offend us by calling atheists “immoral”, “scummy” or just plain “evil”, we do what any rational and confident person of sound judgement does: we ignore them (or if you’re like me, you write steamy vitriol in your pathetic blog). That’s usually the extent of our outrage, but for religious folks, who benefit from [...]

What better way to convince me that your God is real than by him arranging a terrible accident that cripples me forever? It’s a good thing prayer doesn’t work, otherwise these scary motherfuckers would be causing all kinds of crazy havok. I’m not exactly sure if this guy is psychotic or not, but if there [...]

In the 1960’s, an pioneering atheist by the name of Madalyn Murray O’Hair fought to have mandatory prayer banned from public schools, arguing that this was a clear violation of the separation of church and state. 1963, the Supreme Court voted in her favor, and since then, classrooms around the country have stopped forcing kids [...]

Apparently the Home Office in Great Britain has money to burn, as they’ve just given the Christian Police Association £10,000 (or about $16,000) to help their campaign aimed at getting the public to pray to help prevent crime. They are already claiming that the program, which they’ve already initiated, is having some major success: In one [...]

I have to admit that I got a bit of laugh over this bit of news. Apparently, flight 3079 out of LaGuardia was diverted to Philadelphia after security personnel mistook a Jewish prayer device, called a Tefillin, for some kind of home made bomb. A Tefillin is a set of small leather boxes painted black [...]

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 [...]

I should probably resign to the fact that Chuck Norris is insane and leave it at that. Unfortunately, his cult like status in society, helped largely by the fact that “Chuck Norris facts” was an internet phenomenon, seems to allow him a soapbox to preach his insane gospel. His latest tirade is directed against President Obama, who he feels [...]

You might recognize the preacher dude, Lou Engle as the really creepy guy from Jesus Camp. If you remember this movie, you might also remember how utterly creepy he was around those kids. I always felt there was something not quite right about that guy. In this video, he’s leading a prayer service to enlist [...]

Get ready to be humiliated once more, humanity, as some of your brethren believe that a burn mark on a shitty clothing iron is divine proof that an illiterate dessert nomad was the creator of the Universe. Mary Jo Coady lives in Methuen, Massachusetts, and she’s been a Catholic all her life, and feels that [...]

Remember how I wrote about all those kids who died because their ignorant parents preferred to pray for them to get better rather than call a real doctor? Well, it appears that a couple senators are trying to include a provision to the healthcare bill that would require insurers to cover Christian Science prayer as [...]
