Ben Stein, The Propagandist (or Arrogant Prophet?)

I don't like to ridicule people. Well, not unless they ridicule, first. I try to avoid it because it's rarely productive, except maybe when it's like preaching that excites the choir. Sometimes Ben Stein's angry preaching gets me excited.

Here's an outtake of his latest writing for The American Spectator. If it sounds like I'm taking it out of context,…

Peanut Gallery 1 - The I.Q. Test (Yellow Card)

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

I was a Christian. Not just a Christian, but a Fundamentalist. Not just a Fundamentalist, but a Creationist. The whole 9-yards. I would stand on street corners proselytizing my faith, handing out literature, proclaiming that the earth was 6,000 years old, blah de blah.

Label atheism a thought crime

Why in the name of God (oops sorry, didn't mean to be so insensitive/offensive), does RTE give an entire 'Liveline' over to a tiny rump of deranged atheists to spout their puerile propaganda? Just what is their gripe?

Chick Publications: "Witnessing" Made Easy

[Edited 11-21-09, 4:11PM: I realized hours after posting this how inappropriate it was of me to hotwire those images. But! I will provide links.]

I have an easy, convenient, and enjoyable job that unfortunately has a single, glaring flaw - it's like a watering hole for the religious right.

Underneath the coffee bar where I work is a periodicals basket for the The Wall Street Journal, the local paper, and community bulletins. Three days ago during my night shift, I… Continue
