It’s been a year since a Regina Walmart illegally hired two foreign students, and triggered a drama with them confined to churches granting them sanctuary from the Harper Government’s punitive mean streak. For Immediate Release June 18, 2013 One Year Anniversary: University Students Still in Hiding This week marks one

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Not My Law! – Sanctimonious Christiains and Their Codswallop.
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
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Can Chrisians Masterbate?
The short answer is yes, and despite what the pious say, they do just like the immoral heathen atheists do. This video by Discern4 tackles this topic with an even handedness that, by standards of this blog, puts it firmly into the mild category of religious criticism. I guess one

I quote from the latest news update released by the Guttmacher Institute. “One-third of U.S. pregnancies occur within 18 months of a previous birth, according to “Short Interpregnancy Intervals in the United States,” by Laura Lindberg of the Guttmacher Institute et al., while 50% occurred within 18–59 months, and 16%

Great visualization of the now-famous response from evolutionary biologist, author, and well-known atheist, Richard Dawkins, when asked in 2006 about his argument that there is no god, “What if you’re wrong?” “Anybody could be wrong, ” he replies. “We could all be … Continue reading →

Creationism (and it’s dressed-up-in-drag younger brother, “intelligent” design) is the black mold of education. It’s an insidious infection of the mind, an intellectual parasite. And like real-life black mold, it creates a toxic environment – for learning and critical thinking. … Continue reading →

I’m reading the book The Armageddon Factor: The Rise of Christian Nationalism in Canada. This alarming book traces the interconnectedness of mega-preachers and certain Canadian politicians. It talks about how the religious right are getting organized pouring money into the infostructure to train young people to take on government and

One would think that such a strong believer in biblical “morality” would you not be such an dishonest bag of rats – Ray Comfort is the poster child for everything that is wrong with organized religion, so let’s watch as he is caught, yet again, creating falsehood and deception

I don’t talk much about my religious beliefs, and it isn’t just because of the complication of trying to explain how religion can matter even when I don’t necessarily believe in a Deity. It’s the sense that its not polite for a left-leaning person to speak about religion. There’s a

How many more examples do we need of the lethal nature of the supposedly “pro-life” position? Let’s clear this up by naming them correctly, for the record, when you hear the term “Pro-life” you need to replace that with “anti-woman forced birth advocate”. Why? Because what forced birthers are about

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

What has a tornado in common with prayer in schools and US President Barack Obama? Rhonda Crosswhite. Yes, the Oklahoma teacher praised as a hero for saving several children when a massive tornado ripped through her town of Moore, earlier … Continue reading →

The latest work by American artist Michael D’Antuono has once again drawn ire from US conservatives for pointing out the hypocrisy amongst their ranks. His latest work, The Conservative Christ, depicts Jesus with an AK-47 hoisted into their air, clutching tightly to a pot of gold, and sneering derisively at

The latest census is out and for one reason or another, one of the several numbers upon which media attention has been fixated are the religion figures. This sort of ties into my new series on science, evolution, and the future of humanity, but actually it’s a separate question which

It would be easier if the religious would just admit the one fact the lies at the root of their belief system – “facts don’t matter”. Once we shove that sideways down their craw, unravelling the rest of the bullshite will quickly unravel. A good place to start that sort
