Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Creationist Arguments
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

I’m not much for advertising, but given that it is a good cause I’ll add my small voice to the ever growing atheist chorus and help promote this event. Good heavens, I might even go to this event as its in my country and only one province away. Anyhow, if
Continue readingDeath By Trolley: Is belief in God a choice?
The following satirical video, “Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene”, pokes fun at the concept of a “gay gene” and religious opposition to homosexuality. The proportion of people who believe that homosexuality is chosen is decreasing. That’s not to imply that homosexuality is the phenotype expressed by a “gay gene”. Just

I am thinking about this task I set before me. But what is this task? Every time I define it, I eventually realize that my solution is disconnected from life. This is happening more and more. When I examine a problem, and break it down into its essential parts, understand

I never would have though it possible, but yet it happened. Bill gets Mr.Deity mad. Agreeing with Bill is usually disagreeable to the sane, but on this one I’m torn. I’d hate to sully philosophy’s reputation. Filed under: Atheism, Humour Tagged: Christianity, Humour, Religion

I’ve noticed a distinct reduction in my annual irritation and disgust at the holiday madness this year.* An unexpected convergence of events has brought on a pleasant state of near-apathy. First, no TV. Watching shows on Netflix or by download is blissfully free of advertising. No salespeople dressed up as

It is funny how often this claim comes up when engaging with the godbaggy crowd. You would think, seeing the historical record of authoritarian rule, that blindly following the dictates would not be a celebrated accomplishment. Potholer54 takes a hard look at this claim and provides a solid factual argument

So why would a non-Christian celebrate Christmas. Well first of all from a religious point of view Jesus Christ is not just the Christian Messiah but also considered to be an important prophet amongst both Muslims and Jews so there is no reason they cannot celebrate his birth, while not

One way to tell your position is full of shite? The amount of mental gymnastics required to make it sound coherent and palatable to someone else. Care to guess where christianity fits into the picture? Let DarkMatter2525 give you a clue: Spend some time thinking if you have the god-bug

This is a cover version by Jock Mackay (with a few updated lyrics) of the underrated and relatively unknown John Lennon song “Serve Yourself”, which is a scathing attack on organized religion. Lennon wrote and recorded the song in 1980, several months before he was assassinated by a stalker with

Bollocks to Christmas! I have a love-hate relationship with Christmas. What I love: *Getting a few days off work. *Having a somewhat lighter workload on the days surrounding the holidays. *Spending time with family and friends who I don’t get a chance to see very often. *Good food (especially the

The Latin translation: Am I to believe those were the acts of a loving God? A just God? A wise God? To hell with Your punishments! I was Your servant on Earth – I spread Your word and did Your work. To hell with your punishments! To hell with You!” Filed under: Atheism Tagged: evil, […]
Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Religion needs to stand down.
In this space we often decry religion for what it is: toxically delusional buffoonery that still has the gall to raise its putrid head in the light of the 21st century. Here at DWR we regularly delve into the myriad of topics relating to how religion poisons everything it touches and the shite secular rational […]

It is like watching a traffic accident, everyone just slows down and gawks at the spectacle at hand. The wordpress reader made me slow down and read this post from Cynthia on The Trumpet Sound. Now usually when I see the godbaggy speak oozing forth from a blog I just keep on going knowing that […]
