BELIEVERS NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT FACTS DO NOT WORK BY VOTE OR AUTHORITY
Originally posted Dec. 29, 2006 I was sent this article here. My favorite quote from it is " Science doesn't work by vote and it doesn't work by authority." I of course used the essence of that for the title of this post, since the same can be said about facts. The article itself is about how poorly... Sign in to see full entry.

YES, AN ATHEIST CAN MAKE A PLEDGE THAT MENTIONS GOD AND TRULY MEAN IT
Interesting enough, I wrote this originally months before I got involved with Scouting again for my son. Re-reading it I still agree with all I have said here.

HOW WARPED IS YOUR REALITY?
To start off with I wish to make it very clear that I do not consider a belief in God to be a warped sense of reality. It is not the intention of this post to make any such claim at all. Bit it cannot be denied that many people who claim a belief in God often show themselves to have a weak grasp of... Sign in to see full entry.

I FOUND JESUS WHILE EATING MY HAMBURGER, FRIES AND FROSTY
I think I wrote in the past about how silly it seemed to me for believers to leave their pamphlets everywhere. I have found them in some very amusing places, such as in public bathroom stalls, right above the toilet paper. Although they are generally to stiff to work well for wiping. My wife and I...

DO YOU SPEAK FOR EVERYONE YOU STEREOTYPE AS BEING LIKE YOU?
One of the great dangers with the attitudes of people like Rep. Monique Davis, who I talked about in yesterday's post, is that they very often actually believe that they are speaking on behalf of all who they ignorantly categorize as being of their like mind. I would bet anything she felt she was... Sign in to see full entry.

MY 'DANGEROUS PHILOSOPHY' HAS 'NO RIGHT TO BE' ?
I am sure by now most of you have heard about the high level of religious intolerance Monique Davis showed during a public hearing recently. ZenMom has a good post on it here with links and transcript of it all. I highly recommend everyone listen to the Audio of it. Not only does Rep. Davis display... Sign in to see full entry.

FIGURING OUT JUST WHAT 'SINNING' IS
Originally posted Jan. 27, 2006 Elysiafields left a really good comment to my post about how we are actually getting better when it comes to morals. Instead of focusing on the larger 'sins' such as murder and rape and such, she pointed out- "...there are other types of sin. On first glance, they are... Sign in to see full entry.

SO IS IT THE CHRISTIANS WHO ARE BRINGING DOWN AMERICA?
Originally posted Aug. 9, 2004 -Gomedome pointed out some real interesting statistics. 85% of the USA claims to be Christians. 10% follow other religions and only a simple 5% are atheist. And I guess these numbers have not really changed for some time now. If you listen to a lot of what is being... Sign in to see full entry.

I THINK I'LL TRY TO GET EATEN FIRST (reposted)
Originally posted Dec 1 2006 Worried about the end of the world? Well according to this you should be. We are all doomed. I agree with the logic though, might as well try to get eaten first so you won't have to watch as the world is destroyed around you. I actually want to print up this little strip...
