Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – The Catholic Church Fighting Against the Rights of Women; now with Blackmail and Extortion.
I really wish my job was harder on finding and featuring the appalling nature of religion and the horrible shite it makes people do. Today’s disservice features Cardinal Timothy Dolan arguing that if forced to allow women access to birth control they intend to cease their charitable work done
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice – Christian Love – “Homosexuals are worthy of Death”
I do love what the commitment to mythology does to people. Religion distorts empathy and reason and allows bigots like the pastor featured in this clip to get away with spewing more than a few spitefully atrocious statements. It is funny though for a religion that often claims to represent

Like to watch Christians tie themselves in knots trying to explain/justify sending infants to burn forever? Yah..me too. Filed under: Religion Tagged: Babies in Hell, Christianity, How Religion Poisons Everything, Religious Violence
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Happy Draw Mohammed Day Everyone!
Spit in the eye of religious stupidity. Proclaim a mighty “Frack You!” to the people who seriously believe in screwed up shite. Mark Twain said it best: “Will a day come when the race will detect the funniness of these juvenilities and laugh at them–and by laughing at them destroy
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice – Jesus Loves the Hell Math Redux
Not too long ago Mystro wrote a persuasive piece about how horrible the ramifications are of being tormented for eternity and the loopy logic involved therein. Today’s Disservice will revisit that topic, only now in a helpful youtube video format to illustrate the machinations of a loving and just god.

The lengths we go through to gain the illusion of control… Enjoy this thoughtful exploration of death and atheism. Filed under: Atheism Tagged: Death, How Religion Poisons Everything, The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice, theramin trees
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Theramin Trees – Death
What happens when we realize that religion is just a cultural vehicle to salve our irrational fear of death? Theramin Trees produces another outstanding video that engages the intellect with explanations of why we act the way we do when faced with the facts of our mortality. Seventeen minutes long,
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Yes Your Religion Sounds This Stupid – AronRa at the Global Atheist Convention
Videos like these get my heart beating faster. The sheer amount of ignorance displayed by the faithfully deluded is recorded for the world to watch and collectively groan as they*facepalm* to shield themselves from the pants-on-fire grade of stupid emanating from the mouths of creationists. We have rationalists now (thank
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Alberta Provincial Election – The Wildrose Faileth, so Say Mr.Lake of Fire and Mr.White Powah!
Only in Alberta does the the electorate consider ending the 40 year term of the staunchly right wing Progressive Conservatives with a party that is, you guessed it gentle reader, further to the right. The false populist veneer of the Alberta Wild Rose Party makes it appear palatable to the
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Quote of the Week – Jarod from Practical Doubt on Christianity.
This is the conclusion to a great article found on Practical Doubt. “Hidden beneath the inclusive guise of Christianity exists the absurd notion that people are capable of understanding the depth of humanity through the eyes of faith. They engage this masturbatory exercise without the slightest comprehension of words
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: AronRa – Reason Rally – The Foolishness of Faith
This video, like the Thunderf00t reason rally video, is about taking the superstition and religious non-sense head on. There is no moderator, no stage just the free exchange of ideas and arguments in a public forum. AronRa does a marvellous job of handling all the ‘gotcha’ questions the deluded
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The Folly of Debating Christians – Thunderf00t and Eric Hovind
Thunderf00t gets a trophy for patience as he systematically attempts to debate with the foolishly inane Eric Hovind. This video is 29 minutes of fist-clenching agony as Hovind petulantly refuses to answer questions and fails to understand the most basic of knowledge. People who debate Theists are aware of
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Relgious Disservice: The Office of Religious Freedom? – Captain, set the “stupid” to Full!
We believe in spending your money on departments whose focus is the encouragement of illusion over reality. That is all. Where to begin with such a malodorous concept? Starting with irony is always good, so… for instance how about the blinding irony of the Conservatives dedication to ‘austerity and smaller
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: ThunderF00t – Why make a fuss about religion?
The title of the video is actually called “Thunderf00t Unmasked” as it deals with some of the nasty things zealots have and continue to do. It is a little slice of youtube drama, but at the same time the argument Thunderf00t makes against religion is remarkably cogent and clear and
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Free Speech in the Face of Religion – Censorship on Youtube.
Being intimidated by the religious thugs threatening violence seems to be a growing fad. This needs to stop. I mirror this video that was taken down by youtube for a terms of use violation – (being offensive to the deluded). Here it is again on the blog. You and your
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Afghanistan – Mission Accomplished…(?)
Poking wasps nests with chopsticks seems to be the motive behind much of US foreign policy. The cesspool that is Afghanistan needs only a couple of gentle stirs to spray its fetid lunacy and violence on everything and everyone. Case in point, burning paper turns the people bug-frack crazy:

You would think that for one week, just one week, I could skip the DWR Sunday Disservice. I’d be happy to say, “Oh hey, the religious have not done anything horribly immoral or unethical,this is a good week.” Not gonna frakin’ happen. This amazingly batshite nutbuttery slice of insipid

Why can’t we just get along? A chilling refrain heard from a mild mannered christians to atheists. I mean really if we just leave each other alone everything will be great right? Perhaps we should ask Jessica Ahlquist about just getting along and coexisting peacefully. Ms.Ahlquist has had her
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Religion – Brings Out The Stupid in People – Israel Edition
Ah, progressive religious thought in action. In another unsurprisingly putrid religious offering, the devout offer a lovely pastiche illustrating the misogyny, pettiness, and insular sectarianism that makes religion so repugnant to the rationally inclined. “A shy eight-year-old schoolgirl has unwittingly found herself on the front line of Israel’s latest religious
