So, a couple from Bristol have lost a court case against their local council because the council wouldn’t consider them suitable for fostering kids because their ‘Christian’ views prohibited them from saying that a homosexual lifestyle was acceptable.

According to Bill Donohue of the Catholic League we atheists should apologise for Hitler, seeing as how he was an atheist, and so obviously not a Catholic – no not at all.

I’m a huge fan of Tim Minchin and his rather unique way of looking at things so when I found out that he’s written a song dealing with the Popes cover-up of paedophile priests I knew it would be good.
I wasn’t disappointed. 
Oh, it might contain a swear word or two, so listen appropriately. 
As you may, or may not, be aware, today is International Blasphemy Day, and to that end, here is my little bit of Blasphemy… (edit: and dreadful comma abuse, sorry)
Without a moral law giver, how can you have morals? Without an overseeing deity, how can you know what is good or bad?
If you find yourself with about a month free, and feel like melting your brain, you could always pop over to http://www.jesus-is-savior.com – but I wouldn’t recommend it.
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. The use of so many logical fallacies, over and over. The repeating of straw man arguments that have long since been torn down again and again. It’s a mark of a truly faith-based mind that it can still believe that any of this would still hold any weight. The only people that it could convince in any way are those that don’t need convincing in the first place. For those whose minds actually work properly we can see it for the brain fart that it actually is.
Now, I will grant the author one thing (and pretty much only one thing), it must have been a monumental labour of love to create the site. To be able to concentrate such huge amounts of inane, baseless, stupidity into one place… it’s almost a work of art!
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 and just do anything you want to do.
As a life-long athiest, I’ve got to say that I find these two statements quite insulting. (more…)
