Awww! Isn’t religion cute all snuggled into the framework of society! Let’s play a game! The game is called “I’m right because GOD SAYS SO” – and festoon it into a train wreck of an blog post. This mangled piece of sputum drips of religiously condoned contempt for human beings

Terahertz: “Not believing in devil leading cause of atheism”
I know mocking the Catholic Church is like shooting fish in a barrel but this is just to absurd to pass up. The Pope’s exorcism is a splendid sign because one of the main causes of today’s atheism is that people don’t believe in the Devil any more. But Jesus

It’s a simple test really, the omnipotent god of the universe who cherishes us so should use her mighty powers to have a limb regrow. Easy right? But then again, miracles only happened 2000 years ago(ish) so we are fresh out luck. Filed under: Atheism, Religion Tagged: Christianity, DWR

Sometimes the most basic of points are the most effective. Join Superman and Batman as they fight evil, god style! Filed under: Atheism, Religion Tagged: Christianity, DarkMatter2525, god is good!, How Religion Poisons Everything, Religion

The first bit National Household Survey is out, and aside from it’s methodological issues, there’s still lots of data to pour through. Over the next few days I’ll be looking at lots of it in prep for a presentation to the BC Humanist’s Vancouver meeting this Sunday on this data

Atheist “fundamentalists” whose very existence seems predicated on their non-belief in God can be as extremist and narrow minded as the worst religious prig. They’re fixated, the way many extremists are, targeting any trace of faith with the blade of their remorseless skepticism. It’s one thing to have doubts about

You know what makes religion go away? Discussing it and teasing out how amazingly toxic it is for people in modern society. Where is the CBC on this media front? We in Canada desperately need a platform to talk about the tough issues that face our societies. Lawrence Krauss slams

Happy Bunny Day or Happy Easter as the deluded like to say. 🙂 This merry bunny day, we have a short, but telling expose on how much bullcookery you have to swallow if you really want to get down the Jebus and hang out with him on Easter. God is

Shocking. There has been a poster knocking around that illustrate every contradiction (with footnotes) in the bible. I’m posting it here as a resource so not only can we tell the deluded that their magic book is inconsistent, we can show how inconsistent it actually is with a pretty picture.

Picking on creationists and their loopy ideas is low-hanging fruit, however, every once and awhile, you find someone who does an exceptional job of skewering cringe worthy creationist ninny-poo while being laugh-out-loud funny. Paul Chartly, in my opinion, achieves this in his video. It is long at twenty seven

Most atheists are as irrational as those who believe in religion. And perhaps even more hypocritical. There’s no greater example of this than those vocal opponents of religion who criticize Christmas but in just a few months time celebrate St.Patrick’s Day and other religious holidays with unrivaled enthusiasm. St.Patrick’s Day

There is a horrendous series of advertisements for the moron mormon church which centres around the ‘appeal to authority’ fallacy. The ads each feature one person (that’s one person for each ad, in case I’m confusin’ ya) and this person goes on and on about how they are a wonderful person.

Thank gawd, finally a new cult leader was appointed in Italy by an elite cabal during a secret backroom ritual. This one is from Argentina. I guess that country deserves it, considering they just lost the recent vote on the status of the Falkland Islands. Yay, does this mean the

You would think that god would have a fairly good grasp of equality, being final arbitrator and high mucky-muck an all that bally-ho. Apparently not, as it would seem that none of the major religious texts seem to think that men and women are (or should be) equal, and in

Today’s disservice is a little rough on the language side, so consider yourself warned, as DarkMatter2525 explores the lovely RAA of who created god. Filed under: Atheism, Religion Tagged: DarkMatter2525, god’s god, The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice

Tomorrow, the Canadian polysyllabic pontificator Rex Murphy will be in Vancouver recording a live episode of Cross Country Checkup on religion in public life.. The Checkup is a long-time Canadian radio talk show, designed to spark dialogue across the country. To arrange my thoughts for the discussion, I sat down

Philosophy is has been described as the root of all bullshite, and it is a fact that BS can baffle brains. The religiously orientated, faced with an ever increasing secular reality, can and will grasp at all straws in order to make their ooga-booga based reality seem reasonable and not

A bit of a different tack today on the Sunday Disservice, but I think you’ll like what you see. One of the selling points of religious belief is the “spiritual-transcendental” angle; being a part of something that is bigger than you and yet speaks to you in a very

Atheists. Agnostics. Freethinkers. Nonbelievers. Nontheists. Humanists.Whatever you want to call them and whatever they Famous atheists, including many career academics. want to call themselves. People who do not believe in God. I describe myself as an agnostic atheist and a secular humanist. For the sake of this article, I will
