Faith Requires not Questioning

May 25, 2010

I came across a quote by Frater Ravus about faith, and I found it rather funny, but when I posted it to my status on my Facebook page, someone asked me a question that got me thinking. Faith does not give you the answers, it just stops you asking the questions. – Frater Ravus The [...]

Why Feminism is Dying

May 22, 2010

Okay, I know feminism isn’t really dying, but it is waning quite a bit with the average person.  Radical stances and radical agendas plague its most vocal adherents, and it has become something that a large percentage of women either refuse to claim or are at least reluctant to claim as their viewpoint. Now, some [...]

Scientists Actually Create Life – Top 10 Creationist Responses

May 21, 2010

Well, it appears that one of the most common things that creationists argue, namely that only God can create life, is false, since scientists have created a totally synthetic life form.  I’m curious what this is going to spark as a response in the creationist community. I have come up with a short list. God [...]

Sorry About the Speed

May 17, 2010

Well, for the last couple of days, I have noticed a huge decrease in traffic.  Considering that fully half of my traffic comes from search engines, and even that traffic has dropped by about 60%, I suspect that it’s people giving up after a timeout.  I have been paying attention to the page load times, [...]

I had a Facebook friend post a quote on her status, and I thought it was a very nicely worded quote that gently put religion in the “unnecessary” basket without being offensive, although I seriously doubt the author meant it to tarnish the importance of religion whatsoever. People spend a lifetime searching for happiness; looking [...]

The “What is God?” Argument for the Non-Existence of God

May 7, 2010

When we talk to theists, they talk about God being immaterial.  What is immaterial, and how can something exist and be immaterial at the same time? What is Immaterial? I’ve spoken somewhat on this subject before, but I am looking at it in a different manner now. When we speak of immaterial things, we are [...]

Another Example of Why Religion is Bullshit

May 5, 2010

A Jehova’s Witness man in Ghana has disowned his 5 year old son because the hospital gave him a blood transfusion.  How messed up is that? Leaving the hypocritical stand the Watchtower Society holds on blood transfusions aside, I have heard of this practice of shunning, and I have heard that JW’s will shun people [...]

Anti-Gay Activist is Gay

May 5, 2010

George Rekers, a well known anti-gay activist was caught with his proverbial pants down.  Is it just me, or does it seem like an awful lot of people that are against homosexuality are homosexual themselves? This is just sad.  George Rekers is a member of the National Association for the Research and Therapy of Homosexuality [...]

Why Freedom of Religion Requires Freedom from Religion

May 3, 2010

It seems as though there is a constant stream of people claiming that freedom of religion doesn’t mean freedom from religion.  I agree that this is how it is in private, but when it comes to government, it surely is not true. If I walk up to someone on the street and tell them that [...]

Amazingly People Defend the Pope

May 2, 2010

Well, Tim Minchin isn’t really my favorite comedian, but he made a song that I find to be not only pertinent, but humorous.  It says why people are upset about this whole pope protecting pedophiles thing, and it does it irreverently, which I believe is the best way to get the point across sometimes. People [...]
