Snappy Reponses to Theist Idiocy

July 23, 2006

I found some snappy remarks to theistic idiocy over at I am an Atheist and thought I’d share a few of my favourites:
If there is no Heaven, then where do you go when you die?
“The same place you were before you were conceived, I assume.”
There are no atheists in foxholes.
“Probably because we have less excuses [...]

Who Lies about Abortion

July 20, 2006

A recent commenter implied that the behaviour of the CPC’s in a recent report by Rep. Waxman doesn’t reflect the truthfulness of the rest of them. So, using the profiles of 15 of the leading anti-choice groups provided by Planned Parenthood here’s what I found from looking at their respective sites:
American Life League (www.all.org) [...]

Protecting God At Any Cost

July 20, 2006

The House voted to stop federal judges who would side with the US Constitution and declare the phrase “under God” a violation of the first amendment. The legislation effectively undercuts judicial independence and denies religious minorities access to federal courts to defend our rights.
Michael Newdow stated “They’re willing to ruin this country so they [...]

Dishonour Amongst Anti-Abortionists

July 19, 2006

A report by Rep. Henry A. Waxman found that federally funded crisis pregnancy centers often mislead women about the risks of abortion.

Can Religions Be Peaceful?

July 11, 2006

This is a question that has been on my mind lately as there seems to be an influx of articles, speeches and such calling for peace between the various religious factions. Something’s missing though and I think it’s my question above.
As it stands -many sects with each religion contradict each other (ie, Protestant and [...]

Well, the Bible says …

July 9, 2006

I recently re-posted a satirical work about civil rights for homosexuals that resulted in at least one comment about what the Bible says about homosexuals. Now, technically I think that commenter got it wrong as the Bible says nothing about women having sexual relations with other women, but what I want to address here [...]

Children, Atheism & Religion

July 6, 2006

I recently received a comment about the quote over to right by Ernestine Rose to the effect that it couldn’t possibly be true because religion wouldn’t exist if children were atheists.
