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. [...]

Ye of little faith…
The Arkansas House approved a bill allowing concealed handguns in churches. The bill, which passed on a 57-to-42 vote and now heads to the Senate, removes churches and other houses of worship from the list of places where concealed handguns are banned. Currently, the only private entities where concealed weapons are banned [...]
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 [...]
The Bitching of a Spoiled Child: Catholic Leader Wants Entitlement Back!
Posted by: RB on: December 7, 2008
I’ve become increasingly nervous for Britain (and many pockets of Europe) over recent years because of the hotpot of Islamism that seems to be simmering and splattering out into society there, so I find the whinings of British Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor to be particularly reassuring. In a nutshell, Murphy-O’Connor is bitching that religion is being [...]
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.
Someone tell the UN to stop pandering to Islamists and Terrorists
Posted by: RB on: December 2, 2008
It’s a lesson for the kids: TERRORISM WORKS!
A few days ago, the UN – by a massive 85 – 50 voting margin (with 42 abstentions) - passed a non-binding resolution calling on member states to prohibit “defamation of religion”. Alright. The time for politeness is over when such an appalling policy is passed. FUCK THAT! And Fuck [...]
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 [...]
