Bill O'Reilly vs. 'Atheist' Richard Dawkins

Image
FOX News interview of 'Atheist' Richard Dawkins with Bill O'Reilly "It's a most of extraordinary piece of warped logic to say because science can't answer a particular question you're going throw in your lot with Jesus," Dawkins said at one point. O'Reilly then suggested that Dawkin's argument for how science should be taught in school was equivalent to fascism .

Kissing the Devil

Image
by Summerbreeze W hy, oh why, do the majority of Christians think that when a person leaves Christianity / belief in God, surely they must be in league with the Devil !? The Devil did it. The Devil seduced them. Why don't they resist the Devil? They have willingly turned toward THE DARK SIDE. This inane thinking reared its ugly head toward me about a month ago, while camping in beautiful " Great Lakes Country " in Northern Michigan . My believer husband has a childhood friend ( who I'll call Joe ) who lives aboard a large boat half of the year, at a marina in one of the cute-sy pie towns. Joe is a life-long bachelor, and a retired school teacher ( Catholic schools ). His brother is a priest, and two nieces are nuns--he is very religious. We see Joe every year, and spend quite a lot of time with him, as we camp about 20 miles away. One of my favorite places to go to, is a tiny town with a 100 yr. old plus General Store . Well known atheist, Ernest Hemingway , spe...

The Judge

Image
by Carl S Y ou are about to enter the court... Every section of the courtroom is filled beyond capacity with murderers, kidnappers, rapists , and thieves, both petty and those accused of grand larceny . Also, there are child molesters , wife abusers, sadistic torturers, and all of their children. The greatest judge, the wisest of all time, is about to speak. His gavel strikes and the room falls into silence. At last, the judge speaks. “Everyone here is guilty, you and I know, and punishment should fall not only upon you, but your children and their children’s children. But I, in my superior wisdom and mercy, must deliver the best sentencing.” Turning to the guards next to him, he says, “Take my son, spare him no mercy in torturing him, and see that he suffers the most agonizing death you can devise. Then bring me the news of his burial, so that those before me can go free.” Facing those before him, he announces, “If I ever see any of these faces before me again in court, accused of a ...

Best god In Show

Artist: NOFX Album: Coaster I have no consideration Zero mutual respect For billions who suffer from rational thought neglect I don’t wanna waste a sentence I don’t want a conversation That’s gonna end in disdain, disbelief, and aggravation And I find it’s getting harder to hang out With grown adults who actually believe In Santa Clause and Noah’s Ark , and Their god is the best My distaste has turned into detest Who would read a 2000-year-old medical journal ? Techniques for blood-letting Advice on trichinosis Would you navigate the globe With a map of a flat Earth? Without DNA testing would you believe virgin birth? And I find it’s getting painful to put up With grown adults who actually believe In unicorns and creation and god always takes their side That’s when my innocent jabbing turns snide Thank god for the Grammy Thank god for the touchdown Thank god for blowing up the enemy’s sacred ground So how am I supposed to take anything you say seriously When you swap free will for...

A love like no other

Image
by Mriana Repentant Mary Magdalene , First half of the 16th century. Giampetrino (Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli) A ll my life it seems I have thought differently than most people, but then again, I am weird in other ways too. I am physically different too. No, not like dwarfism different. I maybe short, but I am not a dwarf. I am talking mirror image to other people, such as left-dominant and, oddly enough, my heart, like some other organs of my body, tilts the opposite direction of most people's. That is the difference I am referring too, but most people would not know this, until I told them. My thoughts about religion appear no different and with all this talk of late concerning "God's Love," I am left scratching my head, because I do not see love in the stories of which Christians love so dearly. If that is love, it is a wicked and demented sort of love, as well as the complete opposite of what I consider love. In fact, I would not call it love at all and do no...

Religion gives me a headache

Image
by Eris This was an open letter that I wrote to myself for relief after a rather tiresome day I had...Given the subject, it is full of anger but I will say that I felt a great sense of relief after writing it. I apologize if there is anything out of place or even confusing in here but as I stated, I was very angry. Gilbert & George, BLACK CHURCH FACE 1980 , Private collection, courtesy Sonnabend Gallery, New York I know that this has already been said by probably hundreds of black atheists on the interwebz, but I think that it’s my time to state the obvious, for old times sake: There is no Christian like a Black Christian . Truly there is not, and it’s a sight to be seen. Of course I will bring up the fact that the Church was one of the major points in the Civil Rights movements. It has already been stated that the black church was a place for gathering and meetings when no where else would accept us. This was our place to discuss the world, our place to dream... but in that sens...

Intelligent Alien Intervention Institute

They discuss the Academic Freedom legislation that recently became law in Louisiana and how it might also help various theories of Paleo-Contact to be taught alongside mainstream archeology in the public science classroom.

Amputees...take two

Image
by James C Image by tinou bao via Flickr T he post by Mt/RedAtheist about god not healing amputees hits several items that really get one to thinking. First, let's take a look at the last half of his/her title.... Avoidance of the question. The most telling admittance of this avoidance I've found is in the testimony by Ken Daniels in his "From Missionary Bible Translator to Agnostic (2003)" as shown in his section 3.1 Crisis #5: Deism ( http://www.infidels.org/ library/modern/testimonials/ daniels.html#Section2.2 ) where he states, "We never prayed for an amputee's leg to grow back or for a woman with a hysterectomy to have a child, because we knew it was impossible. We prayed only for the possible, and those who prayed for the truly impossible and claimed it happened were disingenuous, like the televangelists." But saying it was impossible is a direct denial of God's known abilities as a creator (if you buy into creation). If yo...

The Bible is not a necessary source of morality

Image
by Henry Image by danny.hammontree via Flickr I don't really love arguing with Christians. I consider myself a friendly Atheist, and I don't shove my own beliefs in anyones face unless they do the same to me specifically. However, when I do, I'm usually fairly successful in getting my point across. Whether I "convert" them is not of concern to me, as long as they understand my view. Near the end of these conversations there always tends to be the last-stand argument that, even if we can't believe in God and The Jeebus, the Bible is still a good thing for human morality , and that it is a good guide on how to live a good life. I used to just let them have this last word, mostly because I did not have an effective counter argument. But I came up with one that has worked well, that I wanted to share with everyone in case they also had trouble with this. None of what the Bible offers is exclusive What it boils down to is this: morals do not have to come from rel...

An Open Letter to Humanity – God's Turn

Image
by Neal Stone O K, I get it now. You're not happy. But how is that my fault? OK, so I created Satan and his angles, and I could have easily destroyed them or thrown them in prison, but I chose to let the roam free. And sure, I created Earth right smack dab in the middle of Satan Central, but is it really my fault my creation chose to disobey me? Granted I could have stepped in like any father would and stopped it all right there or even waited till Satan and his buddies were finally rounded up (someday soon I promise), but it's always been My style to sit back and see what you do with the little information I have given. Like for instance a two year old crossing the street. Why teach him, when he can learn on his own and make the right choice? Right? Now best you behave, because when you do make the wrong choice I will show up and write it all down and hold it against you later. This whole mess isn't my fault? Really it isn't! How can it be my fault when you m...

With Love, from the apostles Peter and John

Image
by E Chamberlain MD, San Diego CA I think the most important reason that I left Christianity was because it didn't deliver. It especially didn't deliver love. No matter what other complaint I have against Christianity, surely even Christians-- and, hey, even Jesus-- could agree that if I'm right about this, then, yes, I have a worthy complaint. It's shocking when you realize it, when you see it -- Love, real love, is foreign to the letters of the foremost of the Apostles , Peter and John. It's just not there. Of all the books in the Bible, those letters, five in all, are a quick read and my complaint can be easily verified. But don't Peter and John write about love? Yes, and a jihadist talks about love too I'm sure. Just not love for the infidel. In registering this grievance at the customer service counter of Christianity, I'm not just blaming Christian humans for their failings. I'm blaming Christianity as a theology . As much as I gave of...

Fun with Fundies

Image
By WizenedSage F ighting the forces of faith with reason is very tiring, and sometimes seems so hopeless. Yet, recent surveys show that the percentage of Americans who call themselves non-religious is increasing. We are making progress. The following quotations have been found on various WEB sites. While they may give the impression that the level of Christian ignorance has reached the hopeless level, please remember that these quotations come from the dimmest of the dim; the truly hopeless must be only a small fraction of all practicing Christians. After all, most of the ex-Christians who regularly contribute to this site are clearly very intelligent. I offer the following quotations merely for comic relief; do not allow them to dishearten you. Oh, and need I say, “You can’t make this stuff up!”? “To say the Bible was written by men and may contain inaccuracies completely contradicts the word of the Bible.” [Talking about an eleven year old girl who was raped and then buried alive] ”g...
