Putting Faith in its Place

Monday, October 5th, 2009

This is one of the most succinct explanations of the logic fallacies inherent to faith that I've ever run across.

Bravo to QualiaSoup (aka Doug) who put this together! Be sure to check out his other fantastic videos on the QualiaSoup YouTube Channel.

Christian Marriage

Friday, June 5th, 2009

I was perplexed by the Christian ideal of proper marriage, but this video clears it all up.

Betty elucidates the confusing conundrum of proper prayer as well.  Holy incantations to imaginary beings were never so simple.

Free Speech is Sacred

Pat Condell has had more than his share of inspiring speeches, but this one is his best so far.  This biting commentary is well worth the time.

God is Afraid of Billboards

Saturday, November 15th, 2008

Those pesky atheists are at it again in Colorado.

COCORE, a Colorado atheist groups is paying for several billboards to be put up around Denver and one in Colorado Springs this year, simply showing a blue sky with a few fluffy clouds, with the caption, “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone,” with a link to their website at the bottom.

Apparently, this has offended several of the Bible banging lunatics in Colorado, including Bob Enyart, a Christian radio host. What genius does Bob have to offer?

“The Bible says that faith is the evidence of things not seen. Evidence. If we ignore the evidence for gravity or the Creator, that’s really dangerous. Income tax doesn’t not exist because somebody doesn’t believe in it. And the same is true with our Creator.”

With such a careful, logical, grammatically profound statement such as this, who wouldn’t believe? Oh, and Bob, that was sarcasm. This is about the most ludicrous, thought bereft statement I’ve heard in some time. Unfounded personal belief, claiming superstitious nonsense, is not evidence of anything but a delusional mind.

I don’t think that I could tally the number of religious billboards I’ve seen in my life. You can’t go five miles in the Bible Belt without seeing one. Furthermore, how can the statement being made on this billboard be considered offensive? If it said “Do you believe in God? You are not alone,” these same Buy-bull pundits would be scrambling all over themselves, gloating over their inspiring, faith filled message.

It seems that above all else, the hypocrisy of religion reigns supreme.

Creationist Stupidity in a Jar

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Creationist arguments are becoming more and more stupid with every pass.  Just when you thought you’ve heard it all, they come up with yet another massively moronic attempt to condemn evolutionary theory using utterly junk science.  This is a perfect example, with so much wrong in its understanding of the theories of the origins of life that it would take months to explain it all to them.

A special thanks to irReligion.org for finding this one.

Holy Cow

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Christians continue to crack me up.  I haven’t been able to verify if this was a real event, but the pictures and videos sure seem to point to it.

Apparently a group of concerned Christians went down to the wall street bull, in order to pray to God to turn around our economic bear market.

Yes, you read that right.  They prayed over a bronze bull idol. Something about Exodus comes to mind…
