Someone in the comments of a previous post linked to this post by Rebecca Hamilton at Public Catholic. Jesus fucking Christ it’s terrible. A few weeks ago, my pastor preached a homily based on what is a simple but absolute fact of all our lives. We will die. You are going to die. I am going to die. It may be in a car wreck this afternoon as you go to the store to buy milk. It may be years... Read more
Michaelyn (whom I affectionately refer to as “fruit roll-up”) woke up crazy sick this morning. She’s called in to work and emailed all her professors. I’m going to do the good fiance thing and curl up beside her, share her germs, and wait on her hand and foot. Because sharing is caring in love, right? I might do some blogging later, because this post from Public Catholic is pretty much grabbing me by the balls and begging me to slap... Read more
4,000 years ago the message was that the Chinese were so obedient to their gods that they would behead women to please them. The skulls, today, bear the message that religious violence is nothing new, and we should be grateful for a world that has become increasingly secular, and continues to become so. Archaeologists in China have unearthed the skulls of more than 80 young women who may have been sacrificed more than 4,000 years ago, state media reported Monday.... Read more
This is cool: Just in time for the holiday season, a nonprofit organization is planning on erecting dozens of atheist billboards in an effort to let fellow non-believers know they’re “not alone.” The Greater Sacramento Chapter of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF)has paid for 55 different billboards this year, all of which will go up in Sacramento, Calif., the Monday after Thanksgiving, according to local station News 10. Sweet brief shot of Keith Lowell Jensen’s billboard sans lame mustache.... Read more

In a land busy struggling with the moral question of whether or non-virgins should be stoned to death, there is apparently one act so heinous that perpetrators are swiftly brought into custody. Two men have been arrested in Saudi Arabia for offering free hugs to passers-by in the capital, Riyadh. The Saudi religious police detained the two young men for indulging in exotic practices and offending public order. *snip* They were subsequently arrested by the kingdom’s religious police, the Commission...

Why should we legislate and live by religious edicts? Not only because god says so but, as we’re told, because it will maximize human happiness. One can only wonder why things like water purification, math, and pornography, things that really maximize human happiness, are not in our holy books. But that’s another conversation. Let’s head down to Muslim-majority areas to see how living by religious edicts is helping people to live healthy, happy, and fulfilling lives. Once close to eradication... Read more
Paul Crouch is the founder of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. This past Saturday he died. In the absence of Christopher Hitchens to give a fitting eulogy for such an obscene con man, I’ll do my damndest. The Crouches collected donations from the faithful to do the work of god, who apparently wanted the them to use money taken from people living paycheck to paycheck to live a life of opulence unparalleled by any dreams of heaven: Mr. and Mrs. Crouch...
