Joe bless you!

Where's the Dalai Lama? And Mother Teresa?

"Religious scholar"

Isn't that a contradiction of terms?

He's right, we shouldn't blame Islam for terrorism. All religions are at fault.

PS. Nice to see there are people from Vancouver here :)

"Canada's even colder than Wisconsin, isn't it?"

Not Vancouver.

:)

Muslims are at it again!

This reminds me of a case here in Canada where a Muslim taxi driver refused service to a blind man with a guide dog - because Muslims hate guide dogs.

In the end, the compromise made was that Muslim drivers would be allowed to call for a new driver if they find our their passenger is handicapped and has a guide dog.

How long will we accommodate these hypocritical psychopaths?

Fuck the pope. Why do people take him seriously?

A charitable trust to set up a theme park and television studio? Why does Britain still allow religious organisations automatic charitable status?

This video was made by students at Vancouver Film School.

I have no faith in the Canadian justice system's ability to deliver justice to this murderer (of the first degree).

This kid deserves a Darwin award; and shame on the Government of Washington for allowing this to happen.

Fuck the cult of jehovah.

"Humans evolved over millions of years from hominids in Africa and share a common ancestor with the chimpanzee. That's a fact. Whales evolved from land-dwelling carnivores, another fact. The facts tell us "what" happened, whereas the theory of evolution interprets the "how" -- the mechanisms by which evolution works."

This paragraph is pure gold!

"Am I the only one who noticed and was bemused by this? I thought it was only condom-hating, abortion-banning, non-college-going faith-heads who started breeding at 16. ;)"

Maybe he's adopted :)

The West Midlands police should be out catching criminals rather than pandering to British Muslims. Besides, it's not like officers have to rely on votes to keep their jobs. It seems to me that they were coerced into doing this.

Islam is not a race, period.

Fuck Ben Stein and fuck this film.

He expects Creationism to have equal time against Evolution? Creationism is not a science, and there are no credible scientists in the field of creationism. This is like expecting 1984 and 2001: A Space Odyssey to be taught alongside real History.

This rubbish is obviously propaganda created by religious extremists, for religious extremists.

There's already a company making cars for freethinkers and rationalists:

I ordered this book last week. Can't wait to get it :)

"Active Christians, for example, do much more hours of volunteer work per month than secular youth."

I assume most of this "volunteer" work is at church.

"Isn't it curious that we tolerate the stereotyping of religion in a way we'd never abide with race, religion or gender?"

Anybody else confused by this?

Edit: Looks like someone caught it before me ^

They wouldn't allow porn to be shown in school, so why should they allow religious mind-porn? Good job, Sweden.. another point for the good guys.

This is exactly why religious institutions should not be granted charitable status.

This sick marriage of church and state has no place in Canada.

Greydon Square is an atheist rapper. So even if you hate rap, like me, you can appreciate the message.

You can download his album here: http://rapidshare.com/files/54090592/CPT_eff-burly.rar

And his website is:

Does anyone know when this masterpiece is coming out in theatres?

"Somehow, atheism – just like homosexuality, which used to be considered shameful and something to hide – is now becoming hip, sophisticated, enlightened, even a badge of honor."

The only true statement in the entire article. ;)

"What the heck is going on in Canada? I thought they were smarter than their southern neighbor."

In this case, it is only in Ontario. Other provinces, like British Columbia, don't have this problem.

"Of the most awesome creations made my man, most were inspired by God – the pyramids, the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, the temples of India, St Paul's Cathedral and the works of Michelangelo."

The Pyramids were inspired by God (The god of Abraham)? I don't think so.

Why does the author choose mostly religious buildings as the greatest creations of man? How about Literature, Music, Poetry, Film, Science, Art, the internet, space travel, etc etc?

What proof is there that Michelangelo's work was inspired by god? Just because he was hired by relgionists doesn't mean he was inspired by their beliefs. In his time it was probably impossible for an artist to make a living without religious content.

Here's an idea: if the words are so precious, don't put them on your damn flag.

"Among respondents without a high-school diploma, 37 per cent said they believed God alone created humans less than 10,000 years ago, whereas only 15 per cent of university-educated respondents were strict creationists."

This sums up the debate perfectly.
