Religious Dogma Poisoning Political System
Perhaps our pledge should read, “One nation, divided, with diminishing liberties for all.” I am, of course, referring to the growing infestation of religious doctrine...

Reason, not faith, defines humanity
The basis of any religious moral code centers around the superstitious and imaginary dream world of those who have devised the code. This dream world cannot be verified by facts or observation, but must be accepted on faith alone.
A New Song of Prayer
There’s lots of reasons to pray and here are some new ones.
The God Argument: The Absolute Reasonableness of Absolute Certainty
One of the common complaints raised by theists comes from the phrase “There’s probably no God” as one way to describe atheistic thought. This runs counter to the caricatures of atheists out there that says atheism automatically equals absolute certainty that no gods exist. To many it sounds more like agnosticism and doesn’t quite fit into their notion of what an atheist actually believes (or, rather, doesn’t believe).
Homophobic Catholics to yank funding to rights coalition
The Catholic church, the haven for the poor, weak and downtrodden unless you’re practicing birth control or are gay. In that case Jesus will not embrace you, and you will be condemned to an afterlife dancing with the devil in the burning pit that is hell. Hey, that’s not so bad. After all there is dancing.
Prayer: The Defeatist’s Best Friend
Let’s touch on prayer, and the effects (or non-effects) it has on a believer’s life. More specifically, let us discuss some of the misappropriations of who or what should actually get the credit for “answered prayers”.
When Christians Attack: The War in the Name of Atheism
Those Krazy Kristians love to quote history even though they know nothing about history. Regardless, when cornered they are like raccoons frothing at the mouth, desperate to escape. It is then when Kristians attack, using the A. Hitler, J. Stalin silly argument to justify their beliefs.
Suppose God is a narcissist and revels in praise
When I was a child I would pray every night with my mother “God bless Aunt Mary, God bless Auntie Bellle, God bless……….”I knew there was a big guy up there in the sky and one day I called on him. I was eight years old and lying under an elm tree on a fine summer day.
The Worst Thing about Creationism
Have you really ever stopped to smell the roses? Ever spend time really enjoying a sunset or a sunrise? How about looking at the stars? Do you wonder if it was created by some deity, or do you accept that it is simply the evolution of worlds?
Church a haven for sexually suppressed
It was Augustine who fostered the belief that intercourse was fundamentally disgusting. Another church father, Arnobius, called it filthy and degrading, Methodius thought sex to be unseemly. St. Jerome stated that it was unclean. The great Tertullian said it was shameful. Ambrose called it a defilement. Early Christian leaders made sex and “sin” synonymous. Origen of Alexandria reportedly went so far as self-castration.
Christian Delusions: The Bible and Child Abuse
When we hear the words “Child Abuse,” many images come to mind. The Catholic church notwithstanding, most of the time when we hear these words we think of decidedly irreligious motivations.
Was Jesus A Hermaphrodite?
Dr Susannah Cornwall claimed that it is “simply a best guess” that Jesus was male. What if he were gay? Now that would drive the Jesus Jumpers crazy.
UK: Christians have no absolute right to wear cross or crucifix
Can you imagine, in America, an employer telling an employee to take off, or stop wearing Jesus symbols to work? How about being told to remove the Star of David? It would never happen. The Jesus Jumpers and the Jewish Community would be all over you, and probably run you out of business, or, at the least, making certain you were fired if an employee yourself.
