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

gay persons of character: Catholic Priests, not Obama Administration, assaulting Catholics
As American Republican presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, continues to decry the Obama administration for its so-called assault on the Catholic Church, the fact of the matter is that Catholic priests, not the secular left, are the ones as…

As American Republican presidential candidate, Newt Gingrich, continues to decry the Obama administration for its so-called assault on the Catholic Church, the fact of the matter is that Catholic priests, not the secular left, are the ones assaulting (literally) Catholics in America. For the facts, check out the Database of Publicly Accused Priests

Think censorship doesn’t happen in Canada? It does, though rarely. There are, however, many attempts at censorship, and it is something we have to be on guard for at all times. It seems that in Canada, our politeness gene runs … Continue reading →

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
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Attack of the Theocrats!
Sean makes some great points, let me reiterate them. Why are parents allowed to watch their child die because they believe in magic? Christian Science and faith healing are utter bullshite and yet they continue to torture children, often to death, because of their mysticism. The Christian Right then

I realize very well that the conservative movement in the U.S. has gone and basically co-opted the fundamentalist, born again, bible thumping, man walked with dinosaurs Christian crowd. Fair enough, they’re a great constituency to have. They’re used to doing as they’re told, and they don’t worry about obvious contradictions or warped logic.

Even Jebus thinks you are bug-frak crazy. Christianity is the religion that keeps on giving. By “giving” I mean keeps on festering. Christianity exudes an oozing rancid pus that encrapulates and taints those exposed to its toxic effects. Dogmatic religious beliefs, like those espoused by Christian Patriarchy, are the putrefying
Continue readingThe Sixth Estate: Beware the Cardus Blowhards
Following hard on the heels of the Prime Minister’s ridiculous endorsement of the crank claim that a long-dead Mohawk woman holds the key to curing flesh-eating disease (but only sometimes), the Globe & Mail has printed a column by Robert Joustra of the Cardus institute, a Christian right think tank,
Continue readingThe Sixth Estate: Harper Government Promotes Faith Healing
Stephen Harper has welcomed the news that a fellow religious extremist turned head of state, Benedict XVI, is officially turning a long-dead Mohawk woman named Katherine Tekakwitha into a saint. This is “a deep honour for our country,” he claims. Apparently the fact that Tekakwitha died in 1680, before there

By far the most awesome depiction of christian moral values/struggle – featuring oversimplification, binary thinking and mythical figures . For a group that so often harps on (and on and on) about having access to an – pardon me, “the” – objective moral standard, christians have some pretty outrageous double

Forget it! Is the long and short answer to that idea. In Quebec there was a ruling that well, you can read it here: Top Court Clears Religion Course. I support those parents who wanted to opt out, but not for the reasons they sited, but because I don’t believe

Creationism is low hanging fruit, I realize this, but this video by potholer54 is just too funny to miss. Filed under: Education, Humour, Religion Tagged: Creationism, Faith makes you stupid, Humour, PotHoler54, Religious Fail

Get your fill of Hate and Bigotry all under the guise of Traditional Family Values! The amount of bigoted american-conservative right wing fail is impressive. One Million Moms oozes hatred and discrimination as it attempts to protect children from the ‘filth’ of the society and the entertainment industry. Pro-Tip –

Since Sunday was Darwin’s birthday, the Sunday Disservice was more academic and celebratory fitting the occasion. Here is the video I would have posted if it was a regular Disservice. Filed under: Religion Tagged: Religion, Religious Porn, Thunderf00t, Warm Fuzzies

I think the anti-choicer’s irony meters broke when confronted with the reality of their bloodthirsty sky daddy. The always controversial religious antagonist is back with another video displaying putrefaction known as religious morality.

Just for clarification I would like it known that I chose the order in the title of this post based on the age of these respective faiths, with Judaism being the oldest and Islam the youngest….and Christianity in the middle. Personally I don’t believe in religious visions, frankly I think

Wearing a matching sweater vest, Foster Friess, the billionaire investor backing Rick “Man on Dog” Santorum’s frothy campaign to be Theocrat-in-Chief of the Free World, introduces his pet candidate at CPAC 2012: After opening with a mildly amusing joke at the expense of Mitt Romney, Friess goes on to observe

I have only had enough time to skim through the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in California’s Proposition 8, the gay marriage ban. As we all know, the appeals panel upheld the lower court ruling striking down the measure as violating the federal constitution. It did stop short of
