I wasn’t disappointed. Oh, it might contain a swear word or two, so [...] April 30th, 2010 | Tags: Catholic, Paedophile, Pope, Priests, Tim Minchin | Category: Morality, Religion | One comment | The recent earthquake in Haiti is a major disaster. From the what I have heard and read there are thousands, probably hundreds of thousands dead, and the immediate area is in chaos. Governments and organisations the world over are promising aid and financial assistance, and people of all beliefs are dipping into their pockets to give money to the various aid agencies that have sprung into action.

From YNetNews via The Telegraph January 7th, 2010 | Tags: Abortion, Messiah, Rabbi, Second Coming, Yahweh, Yona Metzger | Category: Health, Religion | One comment | I’ve just watched this debate, and for the most part it was quite good. http://www.intelligencesquared.com/iq2-video/2009/atheism-is-the-new-fundamentalism I was picking my daughter up from after school club the other day, and my eye was caught by a van parked up by the entrance. It was your typical white company van, plastered with various bits of writing and imagery describing the companies business. Nothing unusual so far. Then I noticed a largish Icthus fish at the bottom of the rear doors, and it was accompanies by “Rev 3:20”. OK, I have no problem with people (and even a business in this case) displaying such symbols – after all I have a Darwin fish on the back of one car, and a T-Rex eating an Icthus on the back of the other. Even the reference to a Bible verse wasn’t really a problem, except I didn’t know what the verse was. This is just shoddy journalism of the highest order. I had considered The Times to be a reasonably balanced and reliable news source, but if this article is anything to go by that perception is well off the mark. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/faith/article6925781.ece  BHA Please Dont Label Me poster November 23rd, 2009 | Tags: Atheist, Evidence, Free Speech, Human Rights, Humanism, Rationalism, Richarsd Dawkins | Category: Atheism, News, Religion | 3 comments | According to this Poll, 54% of UK Adults support the teaching of Creationism alongside Evolution in science classes! GAH! [...] Pretty much sums up how I felt after watching the recent Bill O’Reilly interview of Richard Dawkins. How Richard Dawkins manages to stay calm and collected whilst being interviewed by these wing-nuts I’ll never know. I wouldn’t succeed.

It’s an interesting attempt at an argument, using science to disprove science!

He (she/it? I’ll stick with the male pronoun for now) supposedly gifted us with that ability, but does he have that ability himself?

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 intended.
