Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – God of the Paradox
Finding out that many religions are paradoxical is like making the discovery that there happens to be chlorine in salt. Looking at the basis of the christian god it is obvious that not one, but several paradoxes are required to make sense of who or what he/she happens to be.

Continue readingPolitics, Re-Spun: Occupy the Church, Occupy Together
Christians. Church. God. Jesus. Occupy. What do these words mean to you? For many, the connotations are negative. Personal experiences with judgemental, rigid, frozen people who identify themselves as Christians have left a bitter taste in their mouths. Memories of being harangued, condescended to and lectured linger long after their encounter. Media and political examples […]

We in Christendom have a history of “Christians” using religion to justify violence of all kinds, from war to burning people at the stake. Indeed, exploiting one of history’s gentlest prophets to justify violence is one of the more intriguing themes of…

Why all the hate on christianity? We get often get that question here at DWR. Here is a little sampling of why we take christianity and religion in general to task. Short version: religion is bad for you and those around you. I’m feeling a bit under the weather, and brevity will be the theme […]
Writings of J. Todd Ring: The schizoid nature of the Western world: Overcoming the root paradox of Western civilization – and our own minds
The Western world is still trapped in a paradox and a self-contradiction of our own making: we are schizoid with regards to the body, the material world and to our physicality. On the one hand, we have, as people of the modern world, embraced our physi…

The problem with making a reasonable argument is that it takes time and patience to construct properly. Nonstampcollector makes a great video showing exactly how unonbjective the christian god actually is. Guaranteed to make the religious cringe as they face contradiction after contradiction, and precisely why the video appears on this blog. Filed under: Religion […]

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – We’re held together by Jesus!
Science and religion do not mix. Science deals with observable reality and provable fact while religion deals with myth, magic and superstition. Combining the two is a prescription for horrible science and laughable predictions. This video is shining example of both in which through the wonders of science we can finally see one of the […]
Dead Wild Roses: Do NOT be a GODMOCKER!
Edward Current makes me laugh. I enjoy this videos and especially the comment sections where people routinely miss the satire and respond as if EC was playing what he says utterly straight. But enough! Beware god-mockers, its double down time in the torture for eternity sweepstakes. Filed under: Humour Tagged: Christianity, Edward Current, god-mocking, INanity, […]

Dead Wild Roses: Killing Children in the Name of the christian GOD – The DWR Sunday Disservice
The idea that religion is harmless and that it is good for people, is patently false. The raging torrent of evil shit that religion is responsible for claims more victims every second we allow magical thinking to be acceptable and “OK” in our society. It is a double header today, two videos for the […]

It’s funny how when the bible says some really ugly repugnant things the ability to interpret what it ‘actually’ means becomes so darn important. One would think the word of god was above the musing of mere mortals….

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.
