How Do We Defeat The Creationists?

Jul 10, 2011 Comments Off by

Of all the insane religious people on the planet, the creationists, despite their extreme stupidity, seem to have managed to achieve much more than the others in terms of forcing their doctrine upon other people. The intelligent design mob have, in a way that’s almost commendable, managed to obscure their drivel so much underneath scientific language, [...]

The Divisive Nature Of Religion – The “Us and Them” Mentality

Jul 10, 2011 Comments Off by

Human beings possess the remarkably ability to always divide into two groups, or indeed, merge into two groups. Take rivalries between groups of people based on location for example.

The phrasing of this title quite deliberately suggests something that atheists will probably dislike, and it’s the word convert. Convert brings up some rather evil connotations as it is usually used to refer to what are sometimes aggressive tactics used by a few pushy religious people.

Jul 03, 2011 Comments Off

Sure it’s an old video, but not many people have seen it, and its quite funny. He even makes the humiliating mistake of saying “You know, I have a lot of atheist friends”.

Can Science Give Us Answers?

Jun 27, 2011 Comments Off

You would not believe how many times I have seen this question written around the internet. Although actually, you might well believe it, but I certainly couldn’t. So I thought I’d answer it. The first and most fundamental point that I must make is that this question is very badly worded. Though this is the [...]
