Faux News. The destroyer of worlds.

The official lunacy of the Tea Party, Republicans and right-wing religious extremists, distilled to these few minutes. Holy Shit. Faith in humanity, gone.

Why your brain melts when reading CNN

This is a Time/CNN Article. It is a perfect example of what’s wrong with reporting in this country. Instead of simply reporting on the progress Sam Harris has made in the field of neuroscience, the writer of the article spends the majority of the time mocking or ridiculing the science and the person. The current [...]

The Eye of the Python

This video doesn’t need much of an explanation if you’re a fan of Monty PythonIt’s adapted from the skit, “The Parrot Sketch“. From the notes on the YouTube Page: Right! Stop that! It’s SILLY! Dear friends, if you’re not familiar with the timeless genius of Monty Python then this one might be a bit over [...]

A Plea to the Young Believer

I just found a new video on YouTube (originally saw here). The video is incredibly moving, and doesn’t even try to push anything onto anyone; simply, open your mind to possibilities. The world is so grand and spectacular; to push a rigid belief structure upon it destroys that beauty. Sadly, though, there are those that [...]

Here’s a little religious insanity for you.

The Immorality of Heaven

A very good piece is up on Greta‘s blog about the “Immorality of Heaven“. It’s pretty sobering when you read it and realize just how messed up some people can be. The very concept of a heaven and hell cannot be rationalized. If you haven’t read her blog before, she is very rational and methodical [...]

Euchre!

The company holiday party was today.It’s the usual ruckus. It’s hilarious to see, at a large party where it’s easy to mingle, people grouping into their smaller company groups. Half the time those people can’t stand you for the rest of the year, and yet you group together with them as though the others will [...]

Failed Respect

From an article I saw today: My situation is this, my fiancé and I are both in our mid-twenties, and atheists. He is an only child with parents who are not religious in the slightest.
