Further Damnation of the Catholic Church

March 31, 2009

In the recent wave of Catholic Church child sexual abuse scandals, U.S. bishops claimed that they were unaware that there was a danger of the accused priests re-offending if they just moved them to different a parish. As if that blatantly ignorant (and, IMO, criminal) behavior wasn’t easily dismissed using basic human compassion, now, letters [...]

Hang Nails: A Result of The Fall?

March 28, 2009

According to creationist bullshit, everything that is bad in the world is the result of The Fall. Homosexuality – The Fall; crime – The Fall; bad test scores – The Fall!
We were made in God’s image: perfect. So, without the Fall, we would be immortal, we would be without sin, and we would all have [...]

Pope Condemmed For Ignorance on Condoms

March 27, 2009

This has already been on Pharyngula, but I have to publish it simply because it is such a powerful statement from the medical journal Lancet:
But the London-based Lancet said the Pope had “publicly distorted scientific evidence to promote Catholic doctrine on this issue”.
It said the male latex condom was the single most efficient way to [...]

What’s the Point of an Afterlife Without an After-Afterlife?

March 26, 2009

What would happen if you got to Heaven and found out that that was all there was? After heaven, there is no more. What would be the point of an afterlife without an after-afterlife? None. It would be totally hopeless, devoid of any significance. How could you cope? You might as well kill your immortal [...]

Book Review: godless by Dan Barker

March 25, 2009

Dan Barker’s Losing Faith in Faith has been for a very long time not only the best selling book on atheism, but practically the only book on atheism. Even though independently published, it was the number one book about atheism until the God Delusion was released and set the world of atheists books on it’s [...]

Trippin’ For God

March 24, 2009

The Church of the Holy Light of the Queen in Ashland Oregon has won the right to drink an “hallucinogenic tea” as part of it’s ceremony. It’s brewed from the ayahuasca plant, which contains DMT.
Is this giving churches special status? There are, after all, real honest medical issues that can be aided with the use [...]

Harry Potter a Jewish Brainwashing Scam

March 24, 2009

Of course, it’s all a big Jewish conspiracy.Why didn’t I see it earlier! I’m being sarcastic of course, these guys from Iranian TV are not… they are loonier than a big bag of loons. Separation of Church and State is the most wonderful thing to ever happen to America, it’s a shame they don’t have [...]
