“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much - the wheel, New York, wars and so on - whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about
As an atheist who is very outspoken against religion, I do not expect the shrinking numbers of active church members to agree with me very often. But, I am perplexed by the growing numbers of “spiritual” people who chose to argue with me about their personal beliefs. They don’t belong to an organized religion; but, still have personal faith. Yet, spiritual people often come to the defense of faith, when atheists talk about human rights violations by religious groups. They display… Continue
Lost again. Half drunk half the time; where am I. The little thought bastards that run round and round my mindless mind at night create needless torture. Time to water board with bourbon the little bastards. They scream at me through the long hapless nights, Little fucks know everything,
yet nothing; must not listen.
An open letter to those spokesmen for the New Atheism who have labored mightily these last few years to sweep aside religion’s paralytic webs of superstition and prejudice, and to liberate the rest of our Species via Science and Enlightenment:
Dear Sirs,
Speaking just for this Atheist convert, congratulations, Guys, You really did it! Thanks to all Your hard work, the rest of us know once and for all that the so-called “God” is everything You say he is: the biggest f… Continue
This is an Op-Ed that I wrote for OpEdnews.com. Monicks has been asking me to post it here, so I hope you all enjoy it...
Have you ever read your terms of use for Facebook? How about Google? If you did, there would be some phrases, if you can decipher them in the jargon, which you may find objectionable. However, they are tools for the modern world, and you would probably continue to utilize them anyway, knowing full well that they are, using th… Continue
One of the biggest Climate Change Denialists, Bjorn Lomborg, (well he wasn't a denialist per se because he admitted it was happening but he claimed there was nothing we could do about it) has changed his mind and is going to advocate that the world seriously invest billions of dollars per year to combat… Continue
I just found out I'm having another boy. I have a one year old named Xander, which I got from a show on adult swim. I want a name that's creative but not too weird. The only name I can think of that I really like is Holden and my boyfriend doesn't like it. The lists online are terrible. They give me thousands of names and most of them I can't even figure out how to pronounce. So, I know this has nothing to do with atheism, science or anything else relevant but I'd appreciate suggestions.… Continue

Im now sicked of hearing that X religion is the fastest growing one, people think that because his religion has more suscribers is better and more true than others? even when they dont have a clue about what they are talking? that they just hear their preacher said so, so is true and they swallow it up as if where extasis of their mind? an extasis of ignorance?
OK, so this is probably really old news to everyone else, but I just found out James Randi and Stephen Fry are gay (and that Fry is a humanist/atheist). I always think it is cool when people come out of the closet, but I have to say, I am a bit disappointed that Stephen Fry is gay. Why? Because he is totally sexy. As a heterosexual woman, I wish all handsome, witty, intelligent atheist men were in my dating pool. Oh, and Ricky Martin. How he could shake that perfect bon-bon! Rawr. I bet I was on… Continue
I am so sick of religious people being completely self conscious about their beliefs and claims that a calm conversation about religion is an attack on their belief, when the same people have no problem what so ever telling me how wrong I am and how I should go about finding truth in God's word.
It started out with a simple status update on facebook.
It said something along the lines of: I wish more people posted their religious views in their profiles, I am curious how ma… Continue
It seems that Glen Beck is taking another crack at attacking "Social Justice". I always found it a bit curious that someone who preaches to Libertarian America would advocate for God and Christ.
Especially considering what is clearly Beck's version of Conservative Libertarianism, which seems to be based solely on selfishness and acquisition.
Which puts him in the curious position of interpreting the actions of what is written in the New Testament to NOT infer the "social justi… Continue
This article is extremely self-humiliating and pathetic. The author is borderline denigrating about him/herself and covertly insulting every human being on the planet.
I find it despicable and shocking that someone can clothe so much arrogance and haughty self-righteousness in suc… Continue
"You've never heard of the term men as in referring to mankind. It depends clearly on the context when it is being used. When one says man in a sentence say: "Man has accomplished great feats" - Do we mean only men, or women also?"
No, and you're b…
