Good going! Don't give him the dignity/ credibility of sharing a stage with him.

First I saw, "The Atheism Tapes", on BBC4.
Off the back of Richard's interview in that series I ordered & read, "The Selfish Gene", which explained so much.
Then there was TGD.

In one way it seems like only yesterday that my copy of, "The God Delusion", arrived.
In other ways of course it feels like an entire lifetime ago!

Thanks Richard!

4. Fox: 'Atheist Outrage' over holiday 'Tree of Knowledge'

Comment #94894 by ATH1 on December 7, 2007 at 1:06 am

I am 90% sure that I saw our 'favourite' little priest from Fox in a BBC news report last night regarding this article....

Pope approves Lourdes indulgences

Pope Benedict XVI places great importance on indulgences
Pope Benedict XVI has authorised special indulgences to mark the 150th anniversary of the Virgin Mary's reputed appearance at Lourdes.
Catholics visiting the site within a year of 8 December will be able to receive an indulgence, which the Church teaches can reduce time in purgatory.

I nearly died laughing!!!!

5. Fox: 'Atheist Outrage' over holiday 'Tree of Knowledge'

Comment #94699 by ATH1 on December 6, 2007 at 9:22 am

OMG!

Living in the UK I don't often see Fox News- only whey Sky News cuts into their feed during mass shooting sprees is the norm.

Sky, (the British satellite multi channel subscription service owned by Rupert Murdock & hence by Fox/ News Corp 'overall'), don't even show Fox news after midnight in their American news slot- they use the CBS nightly news I think.

So it's rare that I get to see their output.

Well I guess the Simpsons jokes RE: Fox are just the tip of the iceberg, (Simpsons being made by Fox of course!)

All I have to say is that I've never seen anything so 'energised'/ 'smiling through gnashing teeth & plastic smiles as I did from that slimy priest (Catholic?).

To all of our friends who live in America- your nation certainly shows us all the best & worst of humanity!

Can we please have just a little more best of please :)

I think it might perhaps be better to have this full on confrontational situation between faith-heads & non-believers then the veiled stance we have in the UK of a state sanctioned, all be it relative compared to the RCatholic church, quaint little old Church of England- which is in practise far more insidious an arrangement- all be it perhaps a nicer climate to live in on a day to day basis. Neither situation is of course ideal though.

Whenever I see an example of how totally slimy these people are, I am so totally relieved that I 'found' Atheism & the great community around it & I only regret that I wasn't given the option of exploring & destroying insidious faith a good few years earlier!!!! Shame, due to our impotent 'education' system that so many more young peoples lives will be retarded by the idiocy & deliberate attempt to keep them 'dull'.

How's it coming on those 'resources' for schools?
How about a direct internet campaign aimed at reaching teenagers with some proper 'Religious Education'.
I'm not talking about turning them into religious 'zealots'- but actually giving them some informed arguments that they can examine & make their decisions based upon- not just the totally inadequate 'totally non criticising' material to be found in UK Religious Education classes…? (As part of the Out Campaign?)

Good luck to you all & "Happy Whatever you want to call it!" :) – I hope you get lots of presents, eat far too much, manage to find something decent on television & that the dog doesn't eat your liquors! (Speaking from personal experience on that last one!)

7. Egypt's fight against female circumcision clashes with tradition

Comment #80560 by ATH1 on October 22, 2007 at 6:55 am

I recently saw some documentation from my local hospital, supporting a campaign against FGM.

I was like - WHAT ABOUT MGM !!!! aka circumscision
Or would it be antisimetic to campaign against that?

I've also recently seen World Health Organistaion 'mutterings' about promoting MGM to stem the spread of HIV/AIDS in Africa!

- Hardly a solution!

This Lunacy MUST STOP - although what chance is there while the vatican has a seat on the UN.
