Disbelieve it or not but Atheism has been around since people first began to believe in gods.

I like to argue with theists when it comes to the myth about the atheism of those dictators they love to tell us about.

When I first heard about Pope JP2’s 32 year relationship with a married woman I thought it was a satirical story about him being a heterosexual but I will take it as being innocent until I hear differently. However I still say that Catholic dogma on contraception is immoral. Well, maybe it is not as bad as death. When Pope Cuddles hugged and kissed the Russian Orthodox leader, their first meeting in 1000 years, they spoke of gay marriage as a sign of the apocalypse. So they are continuing where they off then. How vulgar.

A Republican lawmaker in Mississippi wants to allow children to be lied to with creationist nonsense.

They may soon come to understand that the Universe was not created by some supernatural designer as the State gets more involved in how Science is taught in schools. In Michigan, a Catholic hospital continues to endanger the lives of their female patients. Schools in Atlanta are saved from the menace of atheism but home-schooling is not always a better option.
