Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – What Easter Is Really About
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

Potholer54 does a wonderful job of skewering the creationist stupidity involved with probability, he neatly lays bare the idea that MORE ZEROES = Scientific Fact because god said. Enjoy. 🙂 Filed under: Religion Tagged: Constructing the Straw Hypothesis, PotHoler54, Probability, Those wacky creationists

I want to write some more thoughts about Christianity, but not assume that everyone is Christian. This isn’t an effort to convert anyone, just an attempt to explore some more of the ideas I’ve been reading about and thinking about. A quote from the book God and Empire, by John

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.

Among other highlights of the Saskatchewan NDP’s leadership convention this month, I was able to meet and chat with longtime NDP MP (and later MLA) Bill Blaikie, who attended in large part to introduce party members to The Blaikie Report. And I appreciate the opportunity to review the book –
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – The Theory of Crevolution.
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

When it comes to teaching my kids about the world, I never assumed science would be a top priority. Yet these days I find myself spending little time focusing on language, instead opting for discussions about things like gravity, the solar system and human evolution. This is partly due to

Superstition, and it’s ugly codified twin brother religion, rely on the suspension of one’s critical faculties. When someone is going on about how jeebus talks to them or they are feeling the power of god or <insert prurience for inane godbaggy here> or whatever, the topics covered in this video by

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

Misogyny, Bigotry and Priest Child-Rape Apologia – all in together in one package of Pope Awesome! It would be a disservice to the Disservice if we did not comment on the high octane jack-assery that is going on in Catholic-land at the moment as they feverishly scrabble about looking for

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

“When confronted with a problem involving the use of the reasoning faculties, individuals of strong intellect keep their poise, and seek to reach a solution by obtaining facts bearing upon the question. Those of immature mentality, on the other hand, … Continue reading →

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

I really have to hand it to some social conservatives who are so sexually repressed they recoil at the word sex. I don’t know if Charles McVety of the Canada Family Action Coalition is quite that regressed, but his playing on people’s worst instincts would be comical were it not for
