The 2nd horseman has died. Daniel Dennett, one of the so-called 4 horsemen of the new atheism (whatever new atheism is) has died. Witch Hitchens and Dennett gone, only Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins remain from the original 4...

There was a thread on the Mother Board discussing the shooting at the Chiefs' victory parade. The discussion was going as expected, with pro-gun vs anti-gun, until someone posted the title of this thread: "only Jesus can fix this", which was my cue to get into the fray :hihi:. I replied to that...

Just wondering...Yahweh is, by all accounts, as stern, jealous, genocidal, and capricious as any other deity from any other religion; in doling out stern punishments to the sinners he created because they sin, he has no qualms about condemning every human who will ever live to original sin and...

Sometime ago, on a discussion on the Mother Board, a poster stated that even if you don't accept the the miracles and other extraordinary claims, if you don't believe a Jesus existed, you are stupid. It's always nice to be insulted.That's a comment that I have heard before, though, as if the...

So the discussion over at the mother board around the Nashville shooting has turned (yet again) into a discussion about religion and almost-politics (as much as one can keep politics out of a school shooting), with some people taking offense at a video posted on that thread mocking "thoughts and...

This is going to be more of a rant than anything.There is a thread over at SSF about Gayle Benson giving $5M dollars to a local Catholic school. Many praised Benson for her generosity, being that Benson sort of walks on water for many over there there (for the record, I was Team Rita)...

For the life of me, I can't fathom why people continue to support that rotten criminal organization.https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2022/01/catholic-church-wants-know-12-year-old-victim-gay-took-pleasure-abuse-priest/Pay the forking money, you pieces of shirt.

No rant today, just a link to a clip from "Caesar's Messiah: The Roman Conspiracy to Invent Jesus", explaining how the writers of the gospels basically took the Torah and rewrote it, this time featuring a benevolent, pacifist god.The entire documentary is available on Amazon video. It's...

Youtube clickbait titles, gotta love'em :hihi:Anyway, here is an interesting conversation between Stephen Fry and Jordan Peterson, who sounds like he could burst into tears at any time. Interesting, because of what Fry has to say.

It is both amusing and unnerving to see all of the bad arguments against science (evolution, big bang, etc) that come from apologists of the Abrahamic religions, especially in the 21st century, when science has debunked so many myths and legends written in ancient letters: science is wrong, you...

Unmarked graves of Native American children across different Catholic "schools" are still being discovered in Canada. I write "schools" in quotation marks because the more we learn about them, the more evident it is these "schools" were really concentration camps for indoctrination. But then...

I ran across a TEDx video by a writer named Blair Imani who claims to be an historian, and professes to be Muslim and queer. Then I looked it up, and found some other videos of talks of Muslims who identify as queer. As per lgbtqnation, the most accurate definition of queer is “a person whose...

Simple question: why do you believe in Jesus but not Muhammad? Why do you accept that Jesus came to change the teachings of Yahweh, but not that Muhammad came to change the teachings back to what they were (with some added stuff)? If Yahweh changed his mind once, why can't he change it again?

Short answer: no.Long answer... I was watching a video of Frank Turek speaking at some university, and thought about starting a drinking game, taking a shot every time he said "objective morality" and raised his arms to the heavens. But then I had a second thought: that I may die of alcohol...

Holy Koolaid is yet another ex-fundamentalist Christian who gave into his hate and became a Sith lord. I don't much like his style and his asking for money after every video, but he does a decent enough job of compiling the craziness. The cringe is strong with these people of God and prophets.

Who has not seen the picture of the Founding Fathers surrounding Jesus, who's holding a freshly written U.S. Constitution? Because, you know, the U.S. is a Christian nation founded on Christian values. But not only would you be hard pressed to find any "value" in the U.S. Constitution not found...

Here is a video by one of the more prominent voices in the atheist community, Seth Andrews. For those who don't know who he is, he was raised a fundamentalist Christian, and at one time, was one of the top (if not the top) Christian radio DJ's in the country.The purpose of the video isn't...

This is a common argument that apologists keep bringing up over and over again, mostly - as far as I can tell - ever since Christopher Hitchens started mentioning the number of deaths caused by religion throughout the centuries, during debates, talks, and in written pieces. And the "evidence"...

But there is a darker, more extreme side to evangelicals embracing Trump, which goes beyond sitting judges on the SC, as the judgement they are seeking is not of this Earth.These are the people who literally want to see the world burn, the people who can't wait for the so called End of...

"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"Allegedly, the words of Jesus himself. And yet, in the U.S., the evangelical support for Trump is stronger than ever. Ironic, that they are willing to lose their souls to gain what they want the most...
