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)

Today is International Blasphemy Day
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009Generational Atheists?
Friday, July 10th, 2009When 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-long Atheists.
Atheist Challenge – My Response
Thursday, May 28th, 2009Brett Keane recently posted an Atheist Challenge video, and invited video responses from other atheists. As I don’t do vlogs, and trust me you don’t want to watch my ugly mug, I’ll put my responses in writing.

Spiritual Science Research Foundation
Thursday, May 14th, 2009(Via both Pharyngula and Friendly Atheist)
Oh boy, this is fun.
The Spiritual Science Research Foundation appears to be a bunch of nits who attempt to put a scientific face on spirituality and the like. Now sure, the website looks slick and well presented, but don’t let that fool you. Dig just slightly under the surface and you’ll unearth a veritable cornucopia of pseudoscience quackery.
It’s Easter
Sunday, April 12th, 2009Today is of course Easter Sunday in many western countries. It’s worth taking a few moments to reflect on the deep meaning and origins on this day.
Pure concentrated stupidity!
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009If 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!
Tanzanian Witch naming
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009No, this isn’t a competition where you come up with the best name for a Tanzanian witch and win a funky prize. This is a scheme introduced by the Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete to name those responsible for killing albinos for ritual purposes.
