It seems the Catholic Church are keen to blame anyone other than themselves for the recent Ryan Report detailing endemic child abuse within Catholic run institutions. I’ve written on this subject previously, so I shan’t cover the same ground again. I will, however, point out something I said at the time this story first broke: […]

Catholicism Continues its Downward Spiral into Depravity
They say that all publicity is good publicity, but you have to question that maxim given the recent news stories regarding the Catholic Church. The most recent is, of course, news of endemic child abuse in Ireland by Catholic institutions. The acts themselves are deplorable, but the endemic nature of the problem suggests, once again, […]

The Origin of Life is becomming clearer
As I’ve mentioned previously on this blog, creation is a difficult subject to comprehend. Specifically, there are two aspects that theists attempt to monopolize the explanations of. Initial cause and the origin of life. We know the theist explanation, God did it, but the scientific explanations have been best guesses and speculation. The current Large […]

Did Jesus Ride his Dinosaur to Church?
This just astounds me. It really does. One of the people in the running to be vice president of the United States of America believes that the earth is only 6,000 years old and dinosaurs and man co-existed. I’m sorry, but this is the person who is only “one 70 year old man’s heartbeat” from […]

This is Religion, and all it stands for
This is a truly remarkable story, and really puts into context the absolute fire-breathing idiots, the misinformed imbeciles that we have to put up with. Quote from the BBC: The most senior judge in Saudi Arabia has said it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes. Yes, you […]

Teaching an important lesson
photo credit: Max Choong I know that there are many readers of this blog who are “of faith”. Some, I respect for their willingness to enter into open discussion about their religion, and I accept that for some people, religion is a necessary part of their lives. There are other people, however, who can’t see […]

The Proof that was Never Needed
There’s something about Mormons. Of all the world’s religions, it just seems the most unwholesome, for lack of a better world. We’ve all known something wasn’t quite right for a while, and now comes the proof. The leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Warren S Jeffs, has been shown […]

If I Put My Hand in a Fire…
One of the most powerful aspects of religion, well organized religion, is the sense of community. Religion seems to be the exception that proves the rule of the wisdom of crowds. If you are surrounded by people who all believe something, it’s very easy to just go along with it. It’s like peer pressure in […]

America Losing it's Religious Affiliations, Britain already there
In the past few days, two very interesting stories have broken in the main stream press. Firstly, we have the article in the New York Times reporting in a study called “U.S Religious Landscape Survey” by The Pew Forum. This study seems to suggest a steady decline in religion, with one of the most notable […]

Idiotic, Absolutely Idiotic
There’s a story in Time (from 1970) about a couple who have had to give an a child they adopted because they “Do not believe in a supreme being”. The judge who made the decision did so on the basis that the child should be allowed to worship freely. Now, correct me if I’m wrong, […]
