Why do we do what we do here at DWR? What can we offer to the stalwartly religious that happen on this atheistic nook of cyberspace? Not very much, some would opine, because people’s minds are made up and that is that. Searching through my video subscriptions I found this

Orwell day was January 21st, and of course, I missed it. Media Lens did not miss the boat and has an article up laced with the sort of irony and breathtaking self-deception that Orwell fought against. “January 21, ‘Orwell Day’, marked the 63rd anniversary of George Orwell’s death, Steven

There are no just wars. The death, the depravity, and destruction should never have any pretense of being a noble endeavour. War is like being dragged face first through fifteen kilometres of shit, nobility and honour be damned. We’re going to look at a “bad” war, that is a

Why do things happen the way they do? Why do certain segments of society do well when everyone else is being hammered? Some would say through being “smart” and “working hard”, but that is weapons grade bullshite of the highest order. It is because, systematically, our system is being

Enjoy this by the numbers take down of religious tomfoolery. The Thinking Atheist’s video is a wonderful reference for everyone who has to deal whatever happens to be the religious lie of the day. Failing that, one could just dig the groovy ’70′s vibe going on throughout the video. Filed
