There is a conversation that happens all the time between theists and non-believers. I have engaged in it many times myself as well as observed others engaging in it more times than I can count. While there are a number of seemingly valid ways atheists could deal with this conversation,

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – A Sermon On Prayer
*In the style of the most stereotypical evangelical sermon voice you can imagine **congregation responses in red Brothers and Sisters! As I was perusing the web the other day, I heard a disturbing sound! *Amen I SAID As I was perusing the web the other day, I HEARD a DISTURBING
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Christianity Fails at Objective and Moraility
By far the most awesome depiction of christian moral values/struggle – featuring oversimplification, binary thinking and mythical figures . For a group that so often harps on (and on and on) about having access to an – pardon me, “the” – objective moral standard, christians have some pretty outrageous double

I no sooner published my first word rant and immediately more common travesties of language sprang to mind. Part two will be more of a rapid fire format, as there is a lot of ground to cover. ..And Get One Free! As alluded to in Part 1′s final paragraph, ‘…and

I hate the word ‘utilize’. There is an art form to selecting words. One mustn’t be drab, nor overly verbose. Large words should be used for clarity and precision in terms of expressing one’s intent. They should NOT be used to merely for the sake of making the speaker sound

He’s been gone a long while, but I am thrilled to say that NonStampCollector has returned with another fantastic cartoon. And for his triumphant return he has treated us all with a two parter looking at the story of Noah. I have missed NSC’s formidable skill at highlighting how immensely ludicrous christian stories are, all […]
Dead Wild Roses: Hero of the Day: Myles aka powerm1985
Brilliant. Myles is a fantastic youtuber who is a biochemistry student out of the UK who is currently writing his PhD “Non-Enzymatic Transcription of Nucleic Acids and the Control of Gene Expression using Mutant Riboswitches by Synthetic Guanosine Analogues” (say THAT three times fast) and continually uploads wonderful experiments that entertain and educate and inspire […]
Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice – Midnight Mass With The Horrors In Jerusalem
Welcome to the 21st century. A time where demonic possessions, cursed spirits, and other such notions of the supernatural manifestations have been gratefully laughed into the tabloids where no sane person, and certainly no judiciary body, would give them anything other than scorn and ridicule. Oh wait….it seems some courts haven’t learned much since the […]
