Proof That Prayer Doesn't Work

While slightly tongue in cheek it is still pretty convincing evidence that prayer does not work.

Top 25 Creationist Fallacies

ExtantDodo, YouTube atheist and evolutionary educator, Has a great video exposing the top 25 fallacious arguments used by cretinists along with examples and an explanation why they are fallacious. You will probably recognise most of these from any unfortunate encounters you have had with cretinists, But the video will definitely help you spot more in the future.

My advice is to never debate someone when the basis of their argument is fallacious, Simply point out the fallacy, explain why it's a flawed argument and request that they make a different, More logical and coherent point.

Isn't it ironic that the same people who try to convince us that our morality comes from their religion are also the most deceitful, devious and dishonest.

Hypocrite Pope Needs To Engage Brain And Shut Mouth

The Nazi pope, Benedict XVI, Has yet again put his foot in his mouth by condemning the "pagan" passion for money and possessions, Lol seriously.
Pope Benedict XVI condemned unbridled “pagan” passion for power, possessions and money as a modern-day plague Saturday as he led more than a quarter of a million Catholics in an outdoor Mass in Paris.

....Paraphrasing from the New Testament, Benedict decried “insatiable greed” and said “the love of money is the root of all evil.”

“Have not money, the thirst for possessions, for power and even knowledge, diverted man from his true destiny?” the pope asked.
After a long hard day demanding everyone do as he says and not as he does he no doubt went back to his enormous house, put on his tailor made silk pyjamas and relaxed in his solid gold throne.

I mean seriously, How are catholics not embarrassed with the hypocritical filth this shyster comes out with?

Evolutionary Origin Of Religion

Professor Richard Dawkins takes a question from the audience regarding the evolutionary origin of religion and how religion could have been beneficial, Evolutionary speaking.

His answer is an interesting one and uses the moth as an example of another way detrimental actions could result as a byproduct of otherwise beneficial behavior . He says that like how the moth flies into candle flames as a byproduct of it's evolution produced guidance system, religion in humans could also be a byproduct of an otherwise beneficial trait, Like trusting and believing what we are told as children by grownups. There is no evolutionary benefit to moths flying into flames and killing themselves, Just like there is no evolutionary benefit to believing in invisible dictators, But there is an evolutionary benefit to the programing that produces those particular behaviours.

Non-Muslims Told Not To Eat During Ramadan

All members of Tower Hamlets Council in east London, where 36 per cent of the population follows Islam, were sent an email asking them to abide by the restrictions observed by strict Muslims during the holy month.

They have also been told that the town hall's business agenda will be reduced throughout Ramadan to accommodate Muslims, with only seven committee meetings scheduled and special prayer breaks included in the evening events.

Tower Hamlets Council has previously insisted that staff call their Christmas meal the "festive lunch" and replaced Bonfire Night celebrations with a show based on a Bengali folk tale.

Some councillors on the Labour-run authority claim it is favouring one religious group over the others.

Cllr Stephanie Eaton, leader of the Lib Dem group, said she would be ignoring the new Ramadan regime and added: "I was rather disconcerted to see that the arrangements put in place for Ramadan, which we support for Muslim colleagues, have been imposed upon all councillors.

Perhaps they should also be told to cover their wives, Mutilate their daughters genitals and kill some gays, You know, so the muslims aren't offended by people who have the nerve to do something not permitted by Islam.

Or perhaps instead Tower Hamlets could concentrate on some real problems they have, Like the 12.7% unemployment, The highest unemployment rate in Britain. But who has time for work when they have to pray 5 times a day and find time to beat their multiple wives, Multiple wives which the rest of us apparently have to support.

I am all for people inflicting whatever imaginary laws they want upon themselves, But your religions rules apply to you and you alone. If i was a councilor in Tower Hamlets i would go out of my way to eat during Ramadan, I would order pizza, have bowls of crisps on the table and ensure that it all contained pork. Know why? BECAUSE YOUR RELIGIONS RULES APPLY ONLY TO YOU.

Richard Dawkins Reads Hate Mail From Loving Christians

Professor Dawkins reads us some of the hate mail he receives from loving christians, Christians who not only express vile vitriol, But also the inability to grasp the concept of punctuation.

It begs the question, How would jesus want Dawkins to die? This is just another example of what religion has become today. To the religious now it's more about defending their beliefs with hatred, violence and vitriol than it is about actually following the teachings of their religion. Christians don't give a shit about jesus, They only care about their own precious feelings and their supposed right to go through life without having their beliefs questioned.

Evolution Is Just A Theory

I got an email earlier today from someone called Alexander. Though he didn't say in the email i get the impression Alexander is a christian who doesn't believe in evolution.
I read a blog post you made about DNA and how we share some DNA with monkeys and you use this as evidence that we evolved from monkeys. I think it should be pointed out to you that if i have an orange car and an orange house just because they are both orange dont mean they are related. Evolution is just a theory it isnt a fact and because its not a fact it cant be science, its just another form of religion.

Alexander makes the mistake commonly made by anti-evolutionists. That mistake is he hasn't got a fucking clue what he is talking about. Let's look at the points Alexander makes and systematically kick them to death.

I read a blog post you made about DNA and how we share some DNA with monkeys and you use this as evidence that we evolved from monkeys.

No, I didn't say we evolved from monkeys in that post. I said ourselves and chimpanzees share a common ancestor. I don't know if you understand the difference between "evolved form" and "share a common ancestor with", So if you don't let me know and I'll go further into it and explain the difference.

I think it should be pointed out to you that if i have an orange car and an orange house just because they are both orange dont mean they are related.

The similarity of our genetics is not what is being used as the evidence of shared ancestry. What is being used is the insertions of IRV DNA, Junk DNA, At exactly the same locations in both genomes, Something which can only realistically happen if ourselves and chimps were the same species at the time of infection.

Evolution is just a theory it isnt a fact and because its not a fact it cant be science, its just another form of religion

Ah the old "evolution is just a theory" chestnut. Evolution is a fact, it's an observable, demonstrable heavily supported fact. The theory of evolution is an explanation of that fact. Just like gravity, tides and knots are facts and gravitational theory, Knot theory and tide theory are explanations of those facts.

As for it being a religion. it's pretty stupid of the religious to try and ridicule evolution by claiming it's a "religion". An atheist could never use the claim that "religion is just science" when criticising it, Which i think says volumes about how even the religious see their belief. Even the religious see it as being dumb, unsupported mythology, why else would they say evolution is a religion if being a religion didn't automatically make something stupid?

Even Moderate Islam Is Fanatical

How many times have we heard from pity seeking, professional victim muslims that "moderate Islam" doesn't condone terrorism and that any connection made between violence and islam is a result of "islamophobia" because, after all, islam is a religion of peace.

This is of course the party line when they are defending their religion publicly. But what do they say when they are afforded anonymity? They say quite the opposite. A recent YouGov poll for the Centre for Social Cohesion found that almost a third of British muslim students believed killing in the name of islam could be justified. That is 33% of muslim students, Living and studying in Britain, a country most of them were born and raised in, Believe killing for their invisible sky daddy could be justified. These aren't people living in caves, They aren't nomadic desert dwellers cut off from civilisation, They are British citizens.

The poll has received criticism from Britain's largest muslims student body, But that is to be expected. Any time anybody uses a muslims own words to expose how inherently violent and bloodthirsty islam is it is going to receive criticism. They never refute the results found though, They only criticise that someone had the cheek to investigate the truth and the audacity to expose it.

Of course, this isn't the first time the fanaticism of British muslims has been exposed. Earlier in 2006 a survey found that 40% of British muslims wanted sharia law introduce. This is a law which hands out the death penalty for the crimes of adultery and homosexuality, amputations for the crime of theft, and flogging for fornication or public intoxication.

So i ask you, How moderate is moderate islam really? Believing that moderate islam could exist is as ludicrous as believing moderate Nazism could exist.

A Reply From Kevin, The Cretinous Creationist

A few of you would have already read the stupid email Kevin decided to write, It has had thousands of views. Well done Kevin, You are famous, Unfortunately it's for being a moron and a figure of ridicule.

After i received that email i replied asking Kevin simply "you are joking, right?" and he replied with what can only be described a testament to the creationists ability to dig themselves into giant holes.
firstly i didnt give you permission to put my email on your blog. teh email copyright is owned by me and i will talk to my solisitor about making you take it down.

And no im not joking, you know im right thats why you didn't answer. If we used to be monkies we should be able to talk monkey. its like if a french man becomes american he can still talk french, its called logic. also on tv a scientist says crocodiles havnt changed for million of years. if evolution was true they would be able to fly by now or talk or grow fur or invent things. if evolution happens why didnt it make crocodiles better?

the devil tricked you into believing you are from mud to take you away from god. Why would you want to be from mud and monkies when you have the option to be from gods hand? If you just stop thinking the bible makes sense and you dont have to worry about anything. If you just stop trying to find things out and accept gods word jesus will forgive you.

i thing you should watch expelled by ben stein. It shows how science is from the devil and good christians are being fired from jobs because atheists know they have the truth. evolution believers know its evil and from the devil, and thats why they are frighetened of christianities real sciense

DONT PUT THIS EMAIL ON YOUR BLOG!!! SERIOUSLY! I DONT GIVE PERMISSION!!
Ooops, sorry Kevin. It appears i have accidentally put your email on my blog.
