The Catholic Church has been playing at nonsense so long, they think their own bullshit doesn't stink. How else can you explain how an octogenarian master of fantasy can say something as idiotic as this: Practising yoga is Satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter,” he told a film festival in Umbria this week, where he was invited to introduce The Rite, a film about exorcism starring Sir Anth ...

For those of you that still naively believe that believing in nonsense can't harm you, I present to you reason #1,697,456 why religion is fucking evil: a church called the Synagogue Church of All Nations has apparently been telling some of their parishioners that they don't need to take their AIDS medication in favor of prayer. As you can guess, a number of premature deaths have occurred, and while official ...

After receiving some flak (some of it merited, some of it not) over my article indicating my worry that the CFI's Board of Directors was fractured over Justin Trottier's dismissal, and that this fact alone demanded that the organization come clean to members regarding the details. While I had managed to get a few details of what was happening, it was clear from every other article out there that no one was ...

Secular organizations in this country have the tendency to implode. Although it's not clear exactly why this happens, it my have something to do with the fact that people tend not to agree on the best strategy to garner new members. Should we be in everyone's face? Should we employ a more gentle approach that doesn't alienate certain groups? While we may not argue over dogma like our religious counterparts, ...

Man, there are days when I feel like I'm in the wrong profession. My religious counterparts swim in money while I continue to struggle for my existence. Are religious people more generous? Do they think their causes are more important than ours? When will we start seriously supporting secular organizations the way religious people support theirs? Not being a religion, I have to file my taxes and pay the gov ...

Once in a while some confused religious person will venture on the site and express their dismay at the "hate" and intolerance on display. One such visitor felt that the real problem in the world is that folks just don't do enough to try and respect one another: a lot of hateful comments from the atheist camp here, why cant people just tolerate each other why are people always finding reasons to hate each o ...

You're probably familiar with the Vatican claim that they are not to be blamed for abusive priests that sexually assaulted any children (which allows them to claim zero responsibility for the things people do while in their employ). What you may not be aware of, however, in that in July of this year, they attempted to use this defense legally, and it seems to have backfired. When the Church attempted to use ...

So, according to a dude who heard voices in his head, God speaks in exactly the same voice that you do, and magically agrees with everything you say. Now, I should warn you that the tiny, insignificant voice in the back of your head that keeps on criticizing your decision not to question that voice is really the devil. He's so tricky, he'll try and convince you that you're merely choosing to re-enforce your ...

If you're unfamiliar with the insanity of Cindy Jacobs, I have the misfortune of introducing you to a special kind of crazy bitch. Imagine if Marcia Gay Harden's character in the movie "The Mist" had somehow found a way to traverse the fantasy barrier and crossed over into the real world (yes, I know it's a terrible movie plot, but someone should have said that to Arnold Schwarzenegger) In January of 2011, ...
