Sandy Lopez sent me an email at work. It is a prayer, which she urges me to pass along. Pass it along if you want. I just thought the words had a lot of merit all by themselves… Well Sandy, I don’t think the words have merit. I think they’re pretty damn silly, actually. But [...]
Google waves a big middle finger at wasteful, discriminatory groups…otherwise known as 'churches'
August 31, 2011 By 3 Comments
Bwahahaha!!! God must truly love me to send me a wonderful story like this. For years, the search and software giant individually offered some of its products—including its office software and popular Gmail—for free or discounted use to qualifying nonprofits. Eligibility requirements varied by product, but churches and faith-based groups were welcome to use some. [...]
Atheist registry
August 31, 2011 By 8 Comments
Some moron in Florida discovered a computer and used it to share an INTERESTING idea: he wants to compile a national registry of atheists. “I mean, think about it. There are already National Registrys [sic] for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, etc..” Stahl writes. “This type [...]
Saturday Fitness (Problem Thunor?)
August 31, 2011 By 4 Comments
Guest Post by Conrad Hudson Who do you think you are alliteration? You don’t own me and you don’t own my friend JT. Friday Fitness needs to become Saturday fitness. Why? Because JT gets up, he works all week, he goes straight to the airport, and then flies somewhere. This leaves very little room for writing [...]
Religion wins through fear, students lose

The other day I posted this link on my facebook. It talks about the FFRF scoring a victory in two counties, one in Mississippi and the other in Kentucky. In those counties, sectarian prayer before sporting events will stop. Rock on. Immediately I started getting emails from people telling me of the same problem elsewhere, [...]

A response to Conrad – why I criticize Chris Stedman
August 25, 2011 By 39 Comments
In a post a couple of days ago, I sniped at Chris Stedman. My primary gripe with Stedman is his stance that religion should be protected from offense, and in this way he nurtures and protects something I believe to be poisonous to humanity. Then a friend of mine, Conrad Hudson, whose opinion I respect, [...]

Booya! Earth’s oldest fossils have been found in Australia by a team from the University of Western Australia and Oxford University. The microscopic fossils show convincing evidence for cells and bacteria living in an oxygen-free world over 3.4 billion years ago. Fossils from microorganisms that were giving the middle finger to the universe 3.4 billion [...]
Republicans: fix the economy by taxing the poor
August 24, 2011 By 6 Comments
That’s their new idea. They’re not going to tax the wealthy, they’re going to tax the people too fucking poor to have owed the IRS. On Sunday, in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Huntsman found himself in a virtual love-in with Rick Perry and Michele Bachmann over, of all things, taxes. The paper [...]
Vonnegut library fighting censorship

Republic School District is right next door to Springfield, MO where I went to college, and there’s enough fuckery going on there that I wish I was still around to raise hell. First a 7th grade girl gets raped in their school – twice – is ignored by the administration and then forced to apologize [...]
