The Young Turks: A Growing Voice For Reason
Posted by: RB on: March 10, 2009
The Young Turks (TYT) is a burgeoning American independent news and views organization. With their daily, even-handed, candid, insightful and humourous coverage of various issues across the political spectrum, TYT’s YouTube channel has amassed a massive following. They are a demonstration of the sort of standard that major news media does not live up to. [...]
Stephen Colbert: The worst offender against Christianity is God
Posted by: RB on: December 12, 2008
This is a must-watch Colbert clip. In it, Colbert addresses the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s anti-religion and pro-reason sign at the Washington state Capitol in Olympia, the resolution requiring the Kentucky state Department of Homeland Security’s to display a plaque claiming that “the safety and security of the commonwealth cannot be achieved apart from reliance upon [...]
Apostates who fear being damned, left behind and sent to hell probably would be
Posted by: RB on: December 7, 2008
Among conservative religionists, there is a view that atheism is bleak because nonbelievers are necessarily plagued with fear of damnation, being left behind and going to hell. This is a fear that literalist religious apologists deliberately cultivate, propagate and maintain in believers and nonbelievers alike. As a consequence of this, it is not too surprising [...]
Political Correctness Gone Mad: Pretending That Our Religions Are Not Inane
Posted by: RB on: December 5, 2008
What is political correctness gone mad? To-the-letter upholding of the US Constitution or pretending that baseless religious doctrinal claims are not an absurd set of foundations for one’s views on the universe, morality, life and the afterlife? Reason versus Bill O’Reilly.
The Edger: The Next Big Thing in Online Secular Activism
Posted by: RB on: August 30, 2008
In what is just my second post in a long time, I’m making a point of encouraging everyone to check out The Edger. The Edger is a new and extremely well-produced secularism and atheism activism website. I had the privilege of helping to develop this site, and the people commandeering the operation are all very talented [...]
Christian zealots terrorizing Christians by calling Atheist group terrorists
Posted by: RB on: August 30, 2008
UPDATE: This post is now for humour and lulz (at my expense) purposes only. I’ve just been informed that this is a parody site. In my own defense, however, the millions of religious rightards in the world have made it impossible to use ridiculousness as a red flag for satire.
I just stumbled upon a piece [...]
Canadian Freethought Group Stands Up For Free Speech of Pro-Life Group
Posted by: RB on: June 5, 2008
York University’s Freethought/Nontheist group – Freethinkers, Skeptics, and Atheists at York (FreeSAY) – is standing up for the free speech and free assembly rights of Pro-Lifers at the university, following the university’s recent banning of pro-life groups. The university is banning these groups because they are anti-choice.
Greetings,
This is an official statement on behalf of the [...]
God is Dying in Canada
Posted by: RB on: June 1, 2008
One could say that God is dying in Canada, as well as many other places. Because there is no good reason to believe that any God actually exists in reality, one could say that God is alive insofar as the God meme (i.e., the socially propagated idea) is being subscribed to and spread. Research in [...]
Ellen Johnson: Not a Great Atheist Representative, IMO
Posted by: RB on: May 9, 2008
As some readers may already know, American Atheists has dismissed Ellen Johnson as its President. In hearing about this, I decided to check out a few Johnson YouTube videos, as I hadn’t done so in quite some time. Upon watching two videos, I remembered why I never made it a point to keep an eye [...]
