Snake-handling fundamentalists

4/22/2008 – 8:12 am

“The Fundamentalists who say the most ignorant things about evolution are wrong on their side. And Dawkins and Myers and their ilk, who dare to call people of faith ’stupid’ (while their own atheism requires as much faith as any snake handling fundamentalist), revolt me.” Original, linked here, found here.

The transcendental ethics of God

4/17/2008 – 1:46 pm

The “problem of evil” has a lot of problems of its own. It’s a favorite of atheists and other people who argue against the God of Christianity, and it generally runs something like “if God is all good, and all powerful, then why is there suffering (or evil; or, why do bad things happen [...]

Well, that was fun

4/1/2008 – 10:29 pm

It wasn’t as much fun as I had hoped, though. To be honest, it’s hard to do that sort of thing. Obviously, it’s even harder to do it and be funny. (Insert “FAIL” graphic here.)
We were atheists, then Buddhists of various stripes, and then we ended at Scientology. Of all of [...]

Saturday night fever

4/1/2008 – 2:00 pm

Wherever I go, there I am.
I’ve been doing much soul searching these days. My inner self wanders across the mind’s desert wastelands in search of inner illumination. I seek the the Omniscient Om, the Unseen Um, the Absolute Ah, the Mystical Mm, and the Happenin’ Hm.
Om! Um! Ah! Mm! [...]

Llama Llama Dalai Lama

4/1/2008 – 1:00 pm

We’re not really with Patrick on leaving Tibetan Buddhism behind; after all, we don’t have aspirations to actually be the Dalai Lama. But this is a guy, as the billboard on my way to work proclaims, that doesn’t just want peace; he works for it. I mean, he has threatened not to be [...]

Not everything it’s cracked up to be

4/1/2008 – 11:30 am

Having been an atheist now for most of the morning, I’m a little disillusioned. I mean, I’m all for tolerance, but the big tent is a little too big. I’m apparently expected to always maintain a solid stance against anything supernatural, but believe in things that are definitely not demonstrable or natural (like [...]

Charitable Chan I am

4/1/2008 – 11:00 am

Okay, don’t think that just because we no longer believe in “God” that we’re likewise no longer altruistic or charitable.
On the contrary, we’re still good, moral people.
For instance, we’ve started to make donations not only to SETI but also to a discreet organization which supports the search for teapots orbiting around the sun, [...]

Brights and Indigos agree

4/1/2008 – 10:00 am

See, I’ve realized that I’m smarter than most people. Certainly smarter than most of you who actually read here every day hoping for religious material.
In fact, I’m a “Bright.” I’m not implying that those of you who have not freed yourself from the intellectual and pseudospiritual tyranny of a belief in the supernatural [...]

Superhero insurance

4/1/2008 – 9:00 am

There is a “slight” worry now that we no longer believe “God” exists. We don’t know who’s going to be “sovereign” (as Christians say) and in control of our lives anymore. Worse, there’s no guarantee that there’ll be justice in our lives in this world.
So here’s what I suggest we do. Before [...]

Reasons why God doesn’t exist

4/1/2008 – 8:30 am

As you have no doubt heard, we have decided that God just can’t exist. That’s right, we’re turning the tables. We’re tired of God being the judge and us always being in the dock, so now the other shoe is dropping from the other foot.

Our reasons for this decision are made of awesome. [...]

A very important announcement

4/1/2008 – 7:00 am

Dear Faithful Readers and Friends,
I’m really sorry for what I’m about to say. I’m sure we’ll lose a lot of readership as a result. I hope not, but if so, so be it. But it’s better that we are direct now and take whatever comes our way as a result than it [...]

Mohler on Pullman

12/4/2007 – 12:08 pm

Mohler has a lot to say about Pullman and His Dark Materials (the trilogy of books that starts with The Golden Compass, just coming out to theaters). (Also, see our new poll about this on the sidebar.)
