The Onion has a great satire piece that hits the bullseye when it comes to Christian dogma. I’ve written before about how Christianity gives a free pass to sin, but The Onion, as usual, puts its satirical wit to good use and hammers the message home. The first few months behind bars were the worst …

Welcome To This World
From The Thinking Atheist comes this video. I saw it on Pharyngula and PZ’s comment rang true with me. He said… The most disturbing thing about this video is that, even though it’s made by The Thinking Atheist, I can imagine it being shown in a church to the approval of the congregation. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rwioe1SGkQ
Webcomic: Jesus’s First Birthday
My first attempt at a webcomic… (Thanks to Mike for the collaboration)
Available in six-packs!
Here’s a bit of deliciously sacrilegious video amusement in the form of a frothy alcoholic beverage. There’s even a website dedicated to this tailgate-worthy treat! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmPUttxmA6o They also have some pretty impressive swag, though it looks like you can’t really purchase it… and the price for every item is $6.66. Who’s up for a cold …
Fun with church signs
A local church recently changed its sign to read: Begin to weave and God will provide you with the thread. I’ve heard a similar statement made by Christians trying to "convert" those of different religious persuasions, but it goes something like, "Just have faith in Jesus and He will show Himself to you." This isn’t …
Dale McGowan on the Santa Claus issue
Dale McGowan (Parenting Beyond Belief and Raising Freethinkers) posts on The Meming of Life blog about Santa Claus being the “ultimate dry run” for questions about God’s existence. In part… By allowing our children to participate in the Santa myth and find their own way out of it through skeptical inquiry, we give them a …
Jesus and Mo and Socratic Dialogue
Jesus and Mo address the issue of the “New Atheists”… sort of.
Putting the “Good” Book in Context
I have had many theological discussions with Christians and inevitably at some point during our discussion the comment, “you’re taking the meaning out of context” is dropped. I think that a contextual understanding of the bible and Christianity is important also. Let me take this opportunity to try and put the bible and Christianity in it’s …
Ignore Probability & Logic, Just Take It On Faith!
Let’s suppose you had knowledge of an impending storm that had the potential to destroy everything in its path. This very same storm was 24 hours away. What would you do to spread the message to your family, friends, and neighbors? You might phone them, email them, drive to find them or tell everyone you …

God Hates Children
God has ordered some pretty despicable things to be done during his tenure over mankind. The destruction of entire cities, blights, plagues, multiple smitings, disease, pestilence, and genocidal floods. It’s an impressive resume by any mass murderer’s reckoning to be sure but there’s more! God loves to torture and kill children or gutlessly order his minions …
