This is why there are Atheist activists
Some call it funny, but I say it's sad. Better help these people and make the world better place for all of us.


teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

From 0:45 to 1:30 -- Believers in India happily lap 'miraculous' water found dripping down a crucifix. Skeptic points out that they are really ingesting sewage water leaking from a pipe. Skeptic charged with blasphemy under the Indian penal code.

Yeah, that sounds about right. The church has been spoon-feeding people shit for centuries. Why stop now?

What a coincidence; I've just been watching this video. We must share a commone subscription.

As for the point above, regarding the sewage and the reaction of the gullible, AronRa makes a similar point in one of his talks, about a certain tree from which "Jesus tears" rain down on the faces of pious pilgrims (t's actually urine expelled from a type of beetle in the summer). They're the idiots getting pissed on, but point that out and suddenly you're the unreasonable one.

Someone stop the world, I want to get off.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

I guess it's bad form to rain on their pilgrimage -- unless it's piss, of course.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

There's a glaring omission...



Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
