Warning: social autists at work!

And you wonder “why agnostics so often regard theists with puzzled bemusement while viewing their godless cousins, with whom they superficially appear to have far more in common, with a mix of embarrassment and unadulterated horror”: I hope the atheists have gotten what they wanted from me. That’s what I’m here for, to use “offensive” […]

Dr. Helen highlights Der Hausfrauhrer

And the cunning nature of his strategic approach to life: Say, instead, a man sits around or get some half-assed job where he doesn’t make much. His wife is working and supporting the family or at least pays for more than half. He no longer has to worry about working himself into an early grave, […]

I’m telling!

Feminists are always metaphorically running to Mommy one way or another: I usually delete crappy, sexist comments like that, but my trigger finger is itching to publish this asshole’s email and IP address. That isn’t something I’ve ever done, because I don’t believe in putting peoples’ personal information out on the internet just because I […]

The dead giveaway

You know an atheist “review” is going to be little more than a shallow and baseless whining when they refuse to refer to the name on the cover of the book: [Vox Day’s] arrogance, rudeness, and unending logical fallacies have brought nothing to the intellectual discussion between theists and atheists. Instead, he has brought only […]

A surprisingly positive TIA review

From an atheist… or maybe an agnostic of sorts. I have to admit, I’m not exactly sure when The Great Agnostic became classified as an atheist either: The Irrational Atheist is a succinct rebuttal to what I felt were apparently bad arguments from little tomes of regurgitated atheist liturgy. None of the refuted authors offer […]

TIA Surge – Harris, Hitchens down

Now there’s only Dawkins to catch… the rank still isn’t displaying on TIA’s own page for whatever reason, but it now holds the #2 spot in Atheism behind Dawkins and the #5 spot in Spirituality behind Joel Osteen, which indicates that The Irrational Atheist has hit the top 100. The surge continues until 9 PM […]

Tramp appeal

As the Evangelical Outpost points out, Whit Stilman appears to understand the way young women’s minds work: Rick Von Slonecker is tall, rich, good looking, stupid, dishonest, conceited, a bully, liar, drunk and thief, an egomaniac, and probably psychotic. In short, highly attractive to women. [Tramp is] a self-confessed chicken thief; an all around sleaze […]

Never her fault

The ability of feminists to bend themselves in pretzels on any position in defense of some women’s behavior is simply incredible: Sexless marriages have typically been blamed on frigid wives, since it’s assumed that men want sex all the time. But it turns out that men are just as likely to stop giving it up […]

Interview with Jonathan Haidt

Vox Day interviewed Jonathan Haidt, author of The Happiness Hypothesis, on November 14, 2007. What is the Happiness Hypothesis? It’s actually a title made up by the publisher before the book was finished and originally I had no idea what it might be. They were trying to convey that the book was about happiness, but […]

That winning atheist charm

So Christopher Hitchens is a drunken, uncouthe buffoon. This isn’t exactly news, of course: Eyewitnesses report that Hitchens erupted into a drunken rage at a recent promotional event for his book. Hitchens reportedly descended from the stage, visibly inebriated, approached a Roman Catholic priest in the audience, and began shouting at him, only inches from […]
