God made Spring
2008-05-04 20:18:00
Just ask my five year old. Where’d she hear that gem? At school and it’s the truth because her teacher said so. We should have known that something like this was bound to happen sooner or later. The teacher has made it extremely obvious she’s one of those Christians who assumes everyone else is ...

In case you thought women were human
2008-04-29 00:31:00
The state of Oklahoma would like to inform you that you are wrong. Under the guise of obtaining informed patient consent, this new law requires doctors to withhold pregnancy termination until an ultrasound is performed. The law states that either an abdominal or vaginal ultrasound, whichever gives the best image of the fetus, must be done. ...

Last night Keith Olbermann and Howard Fineman decided to get together for a chit chat about Hillary Clinton . As you may know she hasn’t dropped out of the race and certain people are none to happy about it. In fact the recent tone of things can be best summed up as “how do we ...

Houston wins! Pollutes more air than LA!
2008-04-17 19:41:00
Since moving to Houston from El Paso about six or seven years ago I swear a month hasn’t went by without me spending a few days with some moderate to severe congestion.  It’s so bad that I like to say I’m allergic to Houston. So it’s with great displeasure that I announce that Houston, Texas has taken first place for releasing 18.625 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere barely beating out Los Angeles (another place I’m allergic to) which took 2nd place with 18.595 million tons. As you may be aware both of these cities are obsessed with pubic “morality” in that they’ve declared war on smokers and other domestic sources of air pollutants (aka: things that we can pretend are worse than the actually worse things the government is involved in). Both earned their medals by allowing their moneymakers to run wild with Los Angeles paving the entire area and Houston saying “what industrial pollution?!?” while really c...

We the people are pissed off
2008-04-17 18:23:00
Apparently there was a “debate” last night on ABC involving Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. I wasn’t aware of it myself and had I been I would’ve probably still went out and had a few beers. Judging from the response this morning, I missed what was the most asinine thing the mass media has done in quite some time. There are nearly 14,000 responses on ABC’s site and here’s a sample of what the people who may wish they’d went out and had a beer or two instead have to say: This so-called debate was ABSURD! Why do talking politico newspeople think the show is about THEM! This goes for everyone from Tweety, Russert and now obviously to Glib-son and Staphocoluous. I don’t give a hoot who wears a pin that’s made in China but shaped like a Flag, or what Reverend W. said or didn’t say, and who the hell is Ayers anyway? Bosnia - J.C. boyz, move on.

That didn’t take long did it?
2008-04-16 19:33:00
Yesterday I wrote about various Christian groups that don’t seem to understand that anti-discrimination laws protect them not just from non-Christians, but from each other due in part to their constant battles over who’s a True Christian and the like. Today I find a post over at A Whore in the Temple of Reason about an editorial in her home state that starts with this line: They can’t be real Christians. They must be part of an atheist cabal. Though this “they” is the Westboro Baptist Church which is virulently anti-gay, this is how a lot of individual Christians and sects act. No one but them and their own are the real deal. Everything else is either fake or a plot by the most hated group around which in this case happens to be atheists. And this is exactly why all Christians should be thankful for anti-discrimination laws. Christians seem to hate each other more than any other group as their favorite sport is seriously attacking each other. As some...

Imagine being told "no" because you?re a Christian

It should come as no surprise that the photographer in question is a Christian who thinks homosexuality is a “sin”. The professional Christian Martyr set is a ...

Obama: abortion is never a good thing
2008-04-14 15:47:00
Barack Obama is getting on my nerves. First he gave that asinine interview in The Advocate where he pretty much told the gay community that explicitly fighting for equal rights via marriage was a bad political move that could upset the bigots on this side of the sexual identity fence. Now he’s went ...

Where are the atheist leaders?

If it weren’t for a blogger over on the Chicago Tribune it’s highly likely that many of us would have never heard of Monique Davis’ anti-atheist tirade. Since that time only one non-theist organization appears to have said anything and that was the Council for Secular Humanism which issued a press release calling for ...

?Bad Day? the cause of anti-atheist rant

Pat Robertson: Islam is not a religion

After an interview with Bernard Lewis about the “clash of civilizations” (aka: my god vs. your god) on the 700 Club, Pat Robertson went on to espouse that “Islam is not a religion”, but a “political system bent on world domination” that disguises itself as religion. Methinks ole Pat is getting soft with age as anyone ...

Doing so will effectively make abortion a crime as one of the rights of personhood is the right to life. Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Monday endorsed a ...
