Rape in the Bible
March 25, 2011 – 9:12 amWhat does the alleged source of true and absolute morals teach us about rape? Thanks to Dwight for the find. Your Thoughts?
“Why Women Should Not Be Allowed To Vote”
March 9, 2011 – 12:02 pmAs Ellis on Facebook put it, the Bible was “written by and for men like this guy”: It’s not a divinely inspired book any more than this jackass is a prophet. Your Thoughts?

February 25, 2011 – 9:29 pmThis is both hilarious and inspiring: via Blag Hag. Your Thoughts?
Dawkins Against Religion’s Claim To Superiority Because It Offers Absolute Morality
February 24, 2011 – 10:55 amThis is one of the most concise, eloquent, and accurate statements on the problem with religious absolutism in morality and the superiority of secular, non-absolutist approaches to morality I have ever heard. And it is certainly Dawkins’s best 2 and a half minutes on the topic of morality I have ever heard: Thanks to Lucy. [...]
Faith Is Not A Virtue; Faith Is Gullibility
February 16, 2011 – 11:16 amThere are many virtues the religious have, even in distinctively religious forms which an atheist like I can appreciate specifically as religious virtues, but faith is not one of these virtues. It is a vice. And Matt Dillahunty’s video below features, especially in the last few minutes, an eloquent, passionate, personal explanation of what makes [...]
Questions Intelligent Christians Must Answer
February 13, 2011 – 8:38 pmEarlier tonight on the internets I went around promoting a list I made a while ago of my then 10 favorite atheist YouTube video makers. One glaring omission from that list was the great ProfMTH, so I felt obliged to call attention to one of his videos tonight: Your Thoughts?

I Have To Completely Rethink My Atheism

TOP Q: Where Are The Lines Between Peaceable Death Penalty Advocacy And Criminal Incitement?
January 29, 2011 – 3:54 pmLast week a heinous, conscience-shocking injustice occurred when the brave, openly gay, Ugandan gay rights campaigner David Kato (pictured above) was murdered shortly after a Ugandan newspaper featured him on the cover with the headline: “100 PIctures of Uganda’s Top Homos Leak” and the words “Hang Them” next to it. The AP photo of the newspaper [...]
Mutable Morality, Not Subjective Morality. Moral Pluralism, Not Moral Relativism.
January 18, 2011 – 10:05 amI hope soon to engage a few of the specifics of a debate going on at our friend George’s blog Misplaced Grace which started when a Christian apologist named Peter tried to argue that atheism has no way of ruling out pedophilia as immoral. Peter’s first remarks were critical of posts at Jason Thibeault’s blog Lousy Canuck. [...]
Biblical Scholar Bart Ehrman’s Personal Deconversion + Problems With The Biblical Records
January 10, 2011 – 11:31 pmI identify with his personal account in the first two minutes quite a bit: Your Thoughts?
How Christian Beliefs And Values Are No More Creditable With America’s Founding Than Islamic Ones
December 29, 2010 – 7:15 pmGary Bauer displays a hilarious sense of grievance in his article “If Christians Were Treated Like Muslims”. I want to take a few posts to fully dissect all of its self-absorbed, phony, distorted victimhood. The first three sentences merited a full post themselves, so here we go. Bauer starts out with the following falsehood: Few [...]
Anglican Archbishop Sydney Peter Jensen Asked To Explain How We Know Which Levitical Prohibitions Still Apply And Which Ones Do Not
October 11, 2010 – 5:54 pmThe very last line made me laugh out loud. Notice that this is not just any ignorant Christian being embarrassed here by a comedian, but an Archbishop. If that does not demonstrate the intellectual bankruptcy of Christianity (or at least of biblical literalists) in 3 minutes flat, I don’t know what does. Your Thoughts?
True Religion?
August 17, 2010 – 8:46 pmMany a religious person defending her own religious beliefs will argue that a given politically, morally, or intellectually unflattering interpretation of her faith is simply not a true representation of her faith. While the question of who has the right or the adequate means to decisively determine with any rational clarity which competing interpretation of any [...]
Why Progressive Interpretations Of The Old Testament Still Do Not Justify Its God Morally
July 11, 2010 – 4:48 pmIn reply to this video on various immoral things outright commanded in what is supposed to be God’s law in the Old Testament, Loyal writes: Militaristic non-Christians often seize upon the many difficult passages where God is condoning morally repugnant acts. I am glad you admit that they are morally repugnant acts and neither morally [...]
Moral Guidance From God’s Law In The Bible
July 11, 2010 – 8:49 amA video for sharing with your Christian friends as a (difficult) conversation starter… Your Thoughts?
Daily Hilarity: Stephen Colbert On Homosexuals
July 10, 2010 – 12:25 amOkay, I couldn’t post that video in which a Christian singer unironically sings “I am America” without balancing it out with a little of Stephen Colbert deliciously ironic, I Am America (And So Can You!). In this clip he all too depressingly accurately apes homophobic logic: Your Thoughts?
Do You Like Anti-Catholicism Mixed In With Your End Times Delusions?
July 8, 2010 – 1:42 pmIf so, the new Jack Chick tract on the end times will really hit the spot! (If you’ve ever just wondered what it would be like if Glenn Beck wrote a Jack Chick tract, this seems the closest approximation.) H/T: Secular Outpost. Your Thoughts?
30 Preposterous Things You Need To Believe To Be A Christian
July 7, 2010 – 6:00 pmJohn W. Loftus, the former minister turned atheist, author of Why I Became an Atheist: A Former Preacher Rejects Christianity, and the primary blogger at Debunking Christianity (whose updates you can follow daily in our blogroll feed) has a terrific summation of 30 extraordinarily unlikely ideas, at least most of which most Christians would have to [...]
Robert Price Pwns William Lane Craig On The Morality And Historicity Of The Canaanite Genocides In The Bible
July 6, 2010 – 11:47 amThe depravity of William Lane Craig’s apologetics on behalf of the genocides goes lower than I had ever imagined before and Robert Price just decimates him, from a moral and highly illuminating historical perspective, in audio which you can hear at The Buddha Is Not Serious. Your Thoughts?
"Ex-Gay" Adam Hood Argues That Homosexuality Is A Sin
June 23, 2010 – 2:09 pmTo understand how this kind of self-loathing is manipulated into being please read A Gay Blogger Undercover At “Love Won Out” and for insight into how it can be overcome, watch Rejecting The Ex-Gay Movement. Your Thoughts?
