My friend said Sarah Palin is a good Christian. I said we atheists tend not to rank each other.

If you thank god for your smiles why don’t you blame him for your tears?

If you thank god for your Hollywood success despite the fact that you suck so fucking bad, why don’t you blame him for every talented artist who starves while you collect garage-fulls of beamers and act like a yuppie dick all while claiming to praise a guy who explicitly said to give everything you own to the poor?

If you thank god for a touchdown or for healing your sore back, why don’t you blame him for the genocide in Darfur or the AIDS virus?

If you think god controls anything, why don’t you think he controls everything? And if you think he controls everything, why do anything?

If you make a joyful noise for a sunny day why don’t you make a joyful noise at the death of a soldier? It’s all god’s work, right?

If god is all good and god is all powerful than thank god for 9/11, right? Thank god for cancer? Thank god for Hurricane Katrina? Thank god for the Holocaust? God could have prevented any of these with the snap of his fingers, right? The fact that he didn’t must mean that these things are, in fact, for the greater good, so thank god for them, right?

Unless, of course, the belief in a god is little more than a defense mechanism used to comfort oneself and not face the fact that the world is not fair.

Pat Robertson denies some Muslims aren’t terrorists, also denies that Oslo terrorist was a ‘true Christian.”

Thirty years before the antics of Lindsay, Paris and Britney, Joyce McKinney made her mark as a peerless tabloid queen. In TABLOID, Academy Award(R)-winning filmmaker Errol Morris (THE FOG OF WAR) follows the salacious adventures of this beauty queen with an IQ of 168, whose single-minded devotion to the man of her dreams leads her on a labyrinthine crusade for love. Down a surreal rabbit hole of kidnapping, masochistic Mormons, risque photography, magic underwear, celestial sex, jail time and a cloning laboratory in South Korea, Joyce’s fantastic exploits were constant headlines.

Watch this and be infuriated by this stupid fucking theocratic dullard who thinks Christianity is the only religion that ever gets “persecuted” in America.

Bill Maher explains his ‘apatheism,’ apathetic atheism

Comedian Bill Maher sits down with…sigh…Piers Morgan to talk about growing up Catholic and becoming an “apatheist,” an apathetic atheist who just doesn’t think much about religion.

Really don’t care for Piers Morgan, but Maher is brilliant as always

A look at just whom Gov. Rick Perry is partnering with for his massive public prayer rally in Texas in August.

Surprise! It’s the far-bigoted and kind of insane wing of the Christian fascists including a David Barton, who lies and calls it history, Bryan Fisher, who theorizes all Nazi’s from Hitler on down were homosexuals, and Stephan Broden, who seems to advocate a violent overthrow of the government. How Christian-like. (I mean that in an non-ironic way, this is what Christians are like.)

Christian groups all upset about movie with a Christian villain.

Somebody call the waaaaambulance

A hearing into whether the church has the same legal obligations towards priests as employers towards employees, could have massive ramifications, writes Victoria Macdonald.
