The One With Aldacron

Councillor Colin Hall, the new Lord Mayor of Leicester, is turning tradition on its head and taking on the Anglican Church in the process. He appointed a secularist as Chaplain and refused to attend a traditional cathedral service that welcomes new Lord Mayors. It gets better. Hall has also announced the banning of prayers before [...]

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council is whining about the congressional authorization to lift the ban on gay marriage. His argument? Christian soldiers will lose their ‘right’ to be bigots. Some people think allowing open homosexuality in the military means nothing more than opening a door that was previously closed. It means much more [...]

When Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks gave a lecture at Uppsala University recently, he was attacked by several Muslims in the audience. Vilks had previously “offended” Muslims by drawing a cartoon of Mohammed as a dog. Apparently, something in his presentation “offended” them as well. So, are the Muslims in this video extremists? Or are they [...]

It is absolutely impossible for me to understand the twisted rationalization that goes into some of the acts perpetrated in the name of religion. Especially when it comes to Islam. We’ve seen one horrid act after another from those god-blinded fools. But this one really defies comprehension. An Islamist rebel administration in Somalia has had [...]

Bill Maher can sometimes be a bit kooky, like with his anti-vaccination  ideas. Aside from that, I generally agree with what he says. Particularly when it comes to religion. His rants, while funny, are brutally true. And he doesn’t hold back anything when criticizing. In this recent piece on Muslim extremism, he iterates many points [...]

The Obama administration has been working closely with Egypt to introduce a resolution to the UN Human Rights Council. The resolution is, apparently, an attempt to kowtow to Muslim countries. But it does so in a deplorable manner. The U.N. Human Rights Council approved a U.S.-backed resolution Friday deploring attacks on religions while insisting that [...]

The number of fundamentalist Jews in Israel has been increasing for years, but now it seems to be coming to a point that the secular people of the world should be worried. Israel’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community has come a long way. No longer are they the inward-looking anti-Zionists who only cared that the government provide [...]

Over 300 skeptics, freethinkers, atheists, or however you want to label them, recently invaded Ken Ham’s monument to ignorance, the Creation Museum. Led by PZ Myers, the group’s mission was to see just how badly this place misrepresents science and to gain more ammunition with which to mock Ham and creationists in general. Apparently, it [...]

I’ve seen this embedded on a few different blogs now. Just too funny.
