The Florida Atheist and Secular Humanist Society has put up a billboard on I-95, and the locals are not happy. [...] I’ve been taking a bit of time recently flipping through the posts on FSTDT. If you’ve not been before then strap on your safety harness and take a visit. FSTDT is a repository of some of the most inane ramblings of Fundamentalists (of all sorts, not just religious) gleaned from various forums and groups around the Internet. [...] Azeusism, or not believing in Zeus, has been the cause of almost every single major atrocity of the past several thousand years. [...] It’s an old question, and on the surface would seem easy to answer. As an Atheist, to me Atheism isn’t a religion. But I also don’t think it is quite that simple. [...] My response to the Atheist Challenge as posed by Brett Keane. [...] (Via Friendly Atheist) Randal Rauser analyses why he thinks us atheists have chosen to be such, and predictably gets it very very wrong. Lets analyse his story paragraph by paragraph shall we? [...] Without a moral law giver, how can you have morals? Without an overseeing deity, how can you know what is good or bad? [...] I stumbled upon this today, and decided to give it a run through. http://www.beliefnet.com/Entertainment/Quizzes/BeliefOMatic.aspx Basically, you answer 20 religious/moral questions, and it will tell you which religious/world views best match up with your answers.

But when you start reading some of that massive content, that’s when the brain melt will set in. It’s just a constant barrage of idiotic drivel. [...] It appears that some of the religious types are up in arms because the British Humanist Association (which helped organise the recent Atheist Bus campaign) was given money from the government ‘Faith Communities Capacity Building Fund’. Link to The Christian Institute [...] News.PL link Conservative opposition MP Arkadiusz Czartoryski says Christians are being persecuted in the UK and has heralded the “end of British civilization” as we know it. How exactly does that work? Given that most surveys still show that Christians (although there is a suggestion that many are just cultural Christians) are still in the [...] I posted this a while back on another site, I figured I should re-post it here: To all those theists who wonder why us atheists care… We care for many reasons. We care because we don’t like seeing people waste their time praising a God that doesn’t exist and looking forward to an afterlife that [...] Imagine sometime in the future someone manages to invent a time-machine, and then uses it to take herself, and a few modern, everyday devices back 2000 years or so. What would be the reaction of the local humans to such things as a gas-lighter, a motorbike, a walkie-talkie, or even a gun? [...] If you read enough articles, and watch enough videos, created by the religious they’ll often mention one of the following with regards to atheism: Without a higher power and moral law giver, how can you have a set of moral laws? and You’re just an atheist and rejecting god because you want to be bad [...] |
