For the Believers . . .

June 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

A question:
How does one go about demonstrating that one religion is more “true” than another?
How does one prove the “truth” of one’s religion without simultaneously doing it damage? By disproving one religion, one also disproves their own, no?
To be certain, such a demonstration would have to be supported by some kind of objective means, correct? [...]

May 5, 1925. A warrant is issued for the arrest of John Scopes, a high school biology teacher, for teaching evolution—in violation of state law—to a high school biology class in Dayton, TN.
The result: God goes and trial and fails to appear to defend “His” creation. In lieu of God, William Jennings Bryan shows up [...]

A Simple Question

April 27th, 2008 · 3 Comments

I have a very simple question.
To anyone that wants to argue that the United States is a Christian nation or founded upon the Christian religion, I ask you this:
Q. Where in our Constitution does it acknowledge or state that the U.S. relies upon the Judeo-Christian God, Christianity, or Christian morality?
A. It doesn’t. Period. God is [...]

Jeebus Fish

April 9th, 2008 · 8 Comments

I mock religion. I mock the religion in which I was raised—my parents’ religion—and all other religions. However, mocking the Jesus Fish isn’t simply individual smugness or an affectation of superiority. When one decides to declare their ignorance for all to see, openly mocking such ignorange almost becomes an obligation.
Over at the National Review the [...]

The advocacy of religion is merely a means to willfully ignore the overwhelming evil and destructive force that religion can be.
We now, therefore, have “Today [...]
