1. Brainwashed children plead to die as martyrs in Red Mosque siege

Comment #54644 by Angieruns on July 8, 2007 at 10:47 am

They're breeding lunatics faster than we can kill them...

Most frightening: the Christian right seeks to infiltrate AMERICAN schools with their brand of mythological nonsense in the tradition of the Taliban.

Resist!

2. Scientists Urge a Search for Life Not as We Know It

Comment #54460 by Angieruns on July 7, 2007 at 9:47 am

Search the Earth for "weird life"? But weird life is not mentioned in the book of Genesis; therefore it must not exist...

But wait...the bible also does not mention marsupials or dinasaurs...wonder why that is...

3. Emory Brain Imaging Studies Reveal Biological Basis For Human Cooperation

J Steven,

Good job summarizing the default argument of many religious people when science flies in the face of their fairy tales: God made it appear that way to test our faith.

Lame stance...and yet astoundingly common.

4. Emory Brain Imaging Studies Reveal Biological Basis For Human Cooperation

Comment #54165 by Angieruns on July 5, 2007 at 7:50 pm

I'm glad that this burgeoning neuroscience focus is producing answers to fundamental questions about our ethical hardware. The lame argument from the religious that morality is inextricably linked to their mythological gods is tiresome, and science has been ill equipped thus far to respond.

Kudos to Emory University!

5. 'I have never been happier' says the man who won gold but lost God

Comment #52504 by Angieruns on June 27, 2007 at 6:31 am

What we know from moving in rationalist/humanist/agnostic/atheist circles is that many of us were raised hearing about the delusion; we were a captive audience as children. Each of us who use our brains, rather than the sheepish default of blind belief, experienced the difficult transformation that questioning ridiculous but widely-held beliefs entailed.

Religion is evil, and I personally understand the fear that accompanies the first time one vocalizes "There is no god." You stand and wait for the lightening bolt because fear is implicit to monotheistic religions. Without fear of their so-called loving gods, no one would follow them and pay their tithes. What a crock of horse dung!

I applaud Edwards...glad he is now in the light.

6. Row over religion's role in US jails

Comment #51982 by Angieruns on June 25, 2007 at 7:23 pm

This is frightening. You take the population that has MOST demonstrated its capacity for violence, then hook them into the delusion of Christian mythology.

And W O R S E: I have to pay for it involuntarily through federal tax dollars.

Another example of our theocracy's (headed by W) disregard for the First Amendment.

7. God Hates the World

Richard is absolutely correct in his characterization of child abuse in this video. I thought that Christians served a loving god. Wow...guess not.

It is difficult to imagine that the participants in this video took themselves seriously as they recorded this horrific and musically abrasive song...

...and they call non-believers arrogant. Stunning!

8. Supreme Court nixes suit over faith-based plan

Comment #51865 by Angieruns on June 25, 2007 at 12:27 pm

We are headed down the road of the Taliban....can you spell T H E O C R A C Y ?

Our only hope is to elect a 2008 presidential candidate that cares about the first amendment!

9. The Present Threat of the Religious Right to Our Modern Freedoms

Comment #51622 by Angieruns on June 23, 2007 at 8:41 pm

I wish that every fundie that claims "this is a Christian nation" would listen to Eddie's speech on the history and importance of the separation of church and state. The framers clearly articulated the need for government neutrality in matters of religion. Why, then, are we on the brink of a theocracy? Madison and Jefferson would be appalled, as am I.

10. Create a back-up copy of your immune system

Comment #51172 by Angieruns on June 21, 2007 at 8:31 pm

I can't wait to hear about the ethical arguments that the fundies will advance on this scientific innovation...

11. Bill O'Reilly and Kirk Cameron on Atheism

Comment #51171 by Angieruns on June 21, 2007 at 8:26 pm

Give praise to the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

These two ill-informed morons have made our case for us. Despite the fact that they must have slept through their high school science and math classes, they succeeded in making creationism sound most improbable.

A crocoduck?

I'm glad that Kirk didn't expound on his DNA reference...he probably thinks that it means "Don't no anything."

12. The Great God Debate

Comment #50046 by Angieruns on June 14, 2007 at 5:18 pm

If Dr. Roberts has imparted anything "intelligible, noble, and inspiring," it was not included herein. Instead, he has demonstrated, as most deluded people do, that to make claims based on faith is to eschew critical thought in favor of mythology.

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for Christopher Hitchens!

13. Baptists Warned About Islam, Atheism

Comment #49578 by Angieruns on June 12, 2007 at 12:41 pm

Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for "...Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, and others..." and their transmission of the virulent strain of atheism.

We've been living under the influence of a violent strain of the Southern Baptist virus decades! Colson is correct: Islamo-Fascism IS evil incarnate, but it is no different than the proliferation of the Southern Baptist delusion.
