This may be well be my favorite critical email ever received, as KW manages to not only highlight several of my assertions about the more militant atheists, but to underline, italicize, and bold them as well: I have been reading assorted texts on the internet and I came across a post that you made a […]
Unsurprisingly, Dodo fails to reach the correct conclusion concerning why so many people of different political, religious, and ideological stripes keep telling him to shut up: I love it how I can come on this site and express some of the tamest liberal philosophy and get attacked from all sides, but this guy gets NO […]
Why, oh why, he wonders, do those stupid and evil Bible thumpers who know nothing about science, and shouldn’t be allowed to vote or raise their own children, dislike someone so objectively wonderful as me? Those who don’t believe in God are widely considered to be immoral, wicked and angry. They can’t join the Boy […]
I don’t dislike Glee, in fact, I think it is a very clever way to bring back the classic 70’s variety show in an ironic, somewhat less cheesy manner. And it’s less grotesquely stupid than most television I’ve seen in the last ten years. That being said, I find Dave Grohl’s perspective to be more […]
Well, they’re not about to say anything about Islam, you understand. But they are sufficiently intrepid to take on the adherents of a fictional religion: The government uses census data to determine government policy and funding in various areas, including that of faith-based schools and organizations. The group running the “You’re Not a Jedi” campaign […]
Juddsnell reveals the entitlement mentality of those whose primary benefit to society consists of sitting on ice floes: Suck it up if you are so freaking superior to the greatest generation or the boomers than fix it and quit making excuses. Until then you are all pathetic losers. Blame it on grandma and grampa and […]
Roissy attempts to explain Game, very slowly, to the uninitiated mainstream: First, everyone needs to stop throwing around the word douchebag so lazily and haphazardly. Douchebags aren’t hopeless with women. Just the opposite. Douchebags are pricks and assholes — usually gauche and lower class — who inexplicably do well with women. (Well, inexplicable to anyone […]
Telic Thoughts presents an amusing chronicle of PZ Myers and his response to the Arizona shooting: Upon hearing that a democratic congresswoman had been shot, the scientist PZ Myers immediately discards science to make this rather unscientific hypothesis about a man who’s name he didn’t even know yet. “I’ll take a wild guess here. The […]
An atheist asks why believers are hostile toward atheists, then answers her own question in a manner she probably didn’t intend: Why are believers so hostile toward atheists? Is there anything atheists can say about our atheism — or even just about our lives — that won’t make people look at us with revulsion? The […]
Ricky Gervais provides a vivid demonstration of the way in which many atheists are prone to vastly overrate their own intelligence and ability to reason. Possibly the most amusing thing is the way that a gaggle of less famous atheists fall all over themselves attempting to proclaim the brilliance of Gervais’s ignorant, illogical, and error-ridden […]
