I’m currently on holiday in northern France, so new posts will be less often than normal.

The Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art is currently hosting an exhibition where visitors are invited to write in a copy of the Bible. The idea seems to have been originally put forward by Metropolitan Community Church with the aim of reclaiming the Bible as a sacred text. Predictably however it hasn’t exactly gone as the organisers had [...]  July 24th, 2009 |  Tags: Bible, Defaced, Free Speech, Freedom, Gallery, Glasgow, Modern Art |  Category: News, Religion |  Leave a comment | I’ve been watching Channel 4’s Inside Natures Giants. It’s a fascinating series where a team of experts dissect some of the largest creatures on the planet. They have tackled a Whale, and Elephant, a Crocodile, and a Giraffe. The dissections were all undertaken primarily to understand why the particular individual animal died, but it also [...] July 21st, 2009 | Tags: Crocodile, Dissection, Elephant, Giants, Giraffe, Natures, Whale | Category: Evolution, Science | Leave a comment | According to the Right Reverend Paul Richardson, the Church of England is in freefall at the moment, and could well cease to exist as soon as 30 years from [...] July 13th, 2009 | Tags: Cease to Exist, Church of England, Paul Richardson | Category: News, Religion | Leave a comment | This is excellent news, and backs up other recent reports that show that the Church and religion in general is becoming increasingly less imports to the younger [...] If you’re Irish, and were Baptised into the Catholics church, but have since lapsed and now consider yourself Atheist or Agnostic, there is now a website that can help you leave the [...] An interesting video which sort of links in with my previous post about Generational Atheism. July 11th, 2009 | Tags: Dale McGowan, Indoctrination, Influence, Video, Youtube | Category: Atheism, Religion | Leave a comment | When you read through the many Atheist/Atheism based blogs you will come across many many stories of how people de-converted from one religion or another and came to Atheism. The stories are pretty enlightening, and it’s encouraging to read how people take the woo out of their lives. It’s much rarer however to read about people like myself however who consider themselves to be life-ling [...] July 10th, 2009 | Tags: Atheism, Atheist, Baptism, Debaptism, Deconversion, Parenting, Santa, Tooth Fairy | Category: Atheism, Superstition | 10 comments | Man, this is a catchy little song. Over at the Missing Universe Museum website (another Creation/ID website that can provide many many hours of entertainment) they have created an little Evolution Test which they propose students give to teachers to see how they react. As you can probably already imagine, the test is rather silly, and the questions posed are almost entirely rediculous. However I (as a non educator and non scientist) shall attempt to provide at least reasonably accurate [...] The Florida Atheist and Secular Humanist Society has put up a billboard on I-95, and the locals are not [...] OK, this just makes me sick. Some religious wacko parents have a daughter who is obviously very ill. Their religion dictates that they don’t seek medical help, but instead they must pray, lay on hands, and fast etc. Funnily enough (although funny is the last thing that it actually is), their daughter died as a result of their [...] July 2nd, 2009 | Tags: CAM, Complementary, faith healing, Medicine | Category: Health, News, Religion, Stupidity | Leave a comment | The St Petersburg Times has done an excellent expose on that cult known as Scientology. It’s an interesting, if worrying read, and it shows that it’s run by a wacko with some serious personality [...] |
