Become an atheist and do whatever you please!

I recently read a post on this site that rehashed all of the misconceptions that the faithful have convinced themselves of over the years pertaining to atheists. You know, the usual stuff. List a few bad men from history such as Hitler, Stalin and Zedong, ignore the fact that their supposed atheism... Sign in to see full entry.

Will the Jewish zombie save you with his magical powers?

Of all of the indignations that one must endure as a non believer living in a society comprised predominantly of Christians, to listen to them speak of the utterly ridiculous as not only possible but as very likely, has to top the list. The end times scenarios are the most ridiculous of their... Sign in to see full entry.

Is Sarah Palin an end times knucklehead?

It is a fair question considering that she has belonged to a church that preaches this stuff since her childhood. Everything is "God's will" with this woman, from US troops in Iraq to building a proposed Alaskan pipeline. It is little wonder why the Republican evangelical base was energized by her...

No post tonight

Don't you just hate when you lose a well crafted post to the cybor gremlins? How about losing it twice? That is when it is time to go for a walk and rethink things, get organized again and remember to stop letting bad habits creep into your otherwise efficient ways of doing things. I know better but...
