Fatwa Against Suicide Bombing and Terrorism
A new religious Fatwa holds some 600 pages of condemnation for suicide bombers and terrorists. But I put it to you: Imagine the effect a decree from the Pope would have on the Protestant majority….
Hitler Was Catholic. Hitler Was Not an Atheist. Can We Move On Now?
We’ve all heard it. Lets set the record straight: Hitler was not an Atheist, and it wouldn’t Atheism if he had been. Here’s some ammo for use in arguments with people who draw the comparison.
Apologist Tariq Ramadan
(At least he’s not Dr. Zakir Naik)
I don’t think I can agree with most of what Tariq preaches. He sounds like he’s presenting new ideas, and will appeal to those with short memories, and those who haven’t heard his arguments before. He’s selling his own brand of Islam, and arguing from within [...]
Movie Review: Crash (FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD)
I know, I know, movie reviews are to blogs what corn kernels are to shit. That’s why I don’t do movie reviews. The only time I’ll talk about movies is when I’m ranting about the shortcomings of movies that have given me a hate-boner.
Islamophobia: Repression on Both Fronts
Preamble: This is not an article for or against Islamic culture, or Western culture, or religion. This is a nit-picky observation of the interaction between two groups of people, and small details that unintentionally work to produce far reaching cultural effects.
Stupid, Protest-y “Feminists” at Lectures
There is a woman, maybe the same one, I don’t know, but there’s always one at EVERY scientific lecture or presentation that in any way involves discernible differences between men and women and how the differences relate to behavior.
Usually a large woman, with a disproportionately small backpack.
Even More Atheist Motivational Posters
Why? Because I need to put them somewhere, so I can hotlink them around the internet while being a dick on internet forums and asserting my epeen.
Behaviors I Hate
Ex. 1: When you say something and people refute it with household nonsense.
“I just read this report in Science Magazine by Real Smart People Who Do Research that says most people in France speak French.”
“Yeah but I knew a guy from France and he actually didn’t speak French. He spoke Spanish.”
“SHUT THE FUCK UP. THAT [...]
Religion: Ad Hominem
In this post: I rant for 5 minutes about religion and atheism, God and infallibility, moderates and terrorists, apologists and fundamentalists. But now with VIDEO!
On: Reducing arguments against Religion to arguments against an Individual
“Well, they weren’t doing it right” – “They weren’t really Christians/Muslims/Etc, because _________”
Note: An edited version of this long, dry read can now be viewed in movie form: Religion: Ad Hominem.
Kids These Days
You know, I turned into a curmudgeonly old man pretty damn fast. On that note, I’d like to put forth that more and more people are growing up to be borderline illiterate. Most university students are fail at communication in just about every medium. It’s not just that they’re writing with computers instead of typewriters [...]
Don’t Discuss Theology on the Interweb
I ventured into a theological debate on the interwebz… Something I don’t normally do (because I assume everyone else on the internet is as dumb, or dumber than I am), but in this case it was a surprisingly intelligent discourse. And here is that discourse in excruciating length.
Wal-Mart Mullets
This is a story about the best mullet I have ever seen. It belonged to a woman who looked to be in her mid 40’s, working at Wal-Mart. It’s always Wal-Mart. If you want a good mullet, it’s the place to go. Just like if you want to find someone who can throw a discus [...]
Atheism vs. Ignorance
What follows is from a phenomenally annoying “discussion” on the topic of…fuck, I don’t know. Religion, atheism, God, and evolution. Hey, that’s an acronym! RAGE! How ironic. >.<
Of course it’s all paraphrased and filtered through sarcasm. It shows why I generally try to avoid talking about this subject with anyone who IS religious, because it’s [...]
Suicide Strollers
While working at a big box retail store full of toys and baby gear, I noticed a peculiar behavior among mothers. It might not have otherwise occurred to me, but being in an environment saturated with mothers and overemotional expectant women, I was able to see a very distinct cross section of the female demographic: [...]
Teenage Dating
Teenage dating:I’ve been through so much. So much pain and torture and DARKNESS, I am an enigma wrapped in a quandry wrapped in a coating of internet porn. Nobody knows me, for I do not even know myself! This world is harsh to a tortured beauty such as myself, and it’s stripped away my soul. [...]
Thrift Store Hunting Again
Damn the Gods of second hand clothing! I went thrift store hunting again today (needed more clothes to be painted black and metallic) and found all sorts of WICKED AWESOME THINGS. Except they all had something just a little wrong. Too big, too small, etc.
AAAAaaand I found two (count them, TWO) of the fated Disco [...]
Knowing – Aka: FUCK YOU HOLLYWOOD.
The movie ‘Knowing’ in four sentences:
Then who was phone?
GOD was phone!
Then who was God?
Aliens was God!
I am angry at this movie for insulting my intelligence.
There’s the hideously obvious religious propaganda: Nick Cages speech about whether the universe is the way it is because it’s “meant to be”, or whether the universe and specifically human [...]
R.I.P Picklemonkey
This blog seems officially over now. I have quit playing World of Warcraft.It was an activity that I felt was something to do with my girlfriend, and we broke up about a month ago. Without her I have no interest in playing anymore.I will greatly miss all the friends I made in WoW over the [...]
