Sean makes some great points, let me reiterate them. Why are parents allowed to watch their child die because they believe in magic? Christian Science and faith healing are utter bullshite and yet they continue to torture children, often to death, because of their mysticism. The Christian Right then

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Musical Interlude – What Music Is About – The Piano Guys
Often here at DWR CMI Fridays we see the classics being performed by serious musicians doing serious things and it is majestic and wonderful, but it’s not all there is. Far from it. Steven Sharp Nelson, a cellist and member of the Piano Guys represents, for me, what being a

Even Jebus thinks you are bug-frak crazy. Christianity is the religion that keeps on giving. By “giving” I mean keeps on festering. Christianity exudes an oozing rancid pus that encrapulates and taints those exposed to its toxic effects. Dogmatic religious beliefs, like those espoused by Christian Patriarchy, are the putrefying

Short, sweet and to the point – “Pornography is the graphic representation, not just of violence against women, but of male supremacy. It degrades all women. It erodes the humanity of all women. Porn use fetishizes violence and supports male supremacy. Porn is the expression of patriarchy. Porn use is

The New Corporate Logo for Alberta Power Companies – "Plunder" And make no mistake it is a generous gift. “In Alberta, the big standout price increase was for electricity, which cost 63.6 per cent more in January than it did a year ago,” he said. Go figure. When the people

It is good to see yet another right wing fanatic has a crunchy crazy wing-nut history savour when suddenly(?) they attempt to get all serious and try interacting with empirical reality. Ezra Levant has little traction with reality and seems to have more interest in keeping his oil friends

Get your fill of Hate and Bigotry all under the guise of Traditional Family Values! The amount of bigoted american-conservative right wing fail is impressive. One Million Moms oozes hatred and discrimination as it attempts to protect children from the ‘filth’ of the society and the entertainment industry. Pro-Tip –

The last for awhile from the Bear McCrary and the Battlestar Galactica series. Passacagilia contains one of my favourite motifs right now. I will include both the string and piano version, as I am slowly working on music. It is quite past my level (alternating 6th’s quad chords!) but this

Sorry, god mandates a needless death for you, have a nice day… The story is almost always the same. Worship the christian-sky daddy and women become second class citizens who get to die because ‘abortion is a sin’. In the video the dude from the ‘health department’ mentions the
