“Freedom is measured by the distance between church and state”
Where in all the “Pro-Life” literature have they hidden the asterisks and the Fine Print? Where do those goddamned wacked out fundagelical fucktards get off preaching “Pro-Life” but then get to make exceptions when it is convenient for them?
Check it out:

Very cool! View the video then take the Secular Pnky Swear. We no longer have to bow to pressure from others in violation of our humanist and secular values of reason and compassion.
It is important for the good of society, community, and family to be honest about OUR values and to reject religious superstition or [...]
This is absolutely INSANE. More Roman Catholic nonsense!
They come to church week after week. Every week, all year long, they are gay, lesbian, transgendered, or they are family, friends, and supporters of the GLBT community. But on Pentecost Sunday, if they wear the Rainbow Sash, they are denied communion. WTF?
I don’t know if this perverted [...]
After 3.5 years I decided to get a new phone. I know, I know… some of you geeks get a new one every time a newer model comes out. I didn’t get my first phone until after Katrina. And even then I wasn’t convinced, because during and after Katrina, hiding under the table as the [...]
COARSE LANGUAGE BELOW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK
Yup, that’s right. According to Cardinal Antonio Canizares, prefect for the Congregation of the Divine Worship,
“What happened in some schools cannot be compared with the millions of lives that have been destroyed by abortion.It (abortion) has legally destroyed 40 million human lives.”
This comes on the heels of [...]
From McLeroy Rejection as Texas Education Chair Based on Unsuitability, Not Religion
McLeroy is notorious for trying to undercut the teaching of the theory of evolution in Texas schools, making the state into a worldwide laughingstock. But his controversial statements are not limited to the teaching of science. When the SBOE approved 150 literary works for [...]
This is very good. No premarital sex, no previous marriages, no mixed-race marriage, no mixed-religion marriage…. nothing but the real “traditional” marriage!
HA! Ain’t no such thing!
Do you believe in the God of the Bible?
Well… do you?
This is interesting… Apparently there are some “super-recognizers”, people who are able to remember faces exceedingly well.
We’ve all had that sinking feeling: a person seems familiar, someone we might have once met, but somehow we just can’t place the face.
Don McLeroy’s nomination as chair of the Texas Board of Education failed, but just barely (click for live-blogging report). 19 Republicans voted to install him, and 11 Democrats voted against. So they didn’t get the 2/3 majority they needed, and that’s a good thing in itself, but it is amazing how the idiots would prefer [...]
Wow… I am flabbergasted:
First Mark Krikorian steps in it bigtime with this:
So, are we supposed to use the Spanish pronunciation, so-toe-my-OR, or the natural English pronunciation, SO-tuh-my-er, like Niedermeyer? The president pronounced it both ways, first in Spanish, then after several uses, lapsing into English. Though in the best “Pockiston” tradition, he also rolled his [...]
More specifically, why are fundamentalist Christians so intent on censoring OTHER PEOPLE? it never stops. They’re always whining about how other people live or what other people do.
i get so sick and tired of hearing what narrow-minded people want.
Don’t like sex-and-violence on TV? Turn the goddamned fucking channel.
Don’t like to see naked people enjoying the [...]
This is awesome:
Think about it. The implications of allowing Prop 8 to stand are horrible and go far beyond same-sex marriage. If a simple majority (50% + 1) can take away from an entire group rights previously granted, what does that mean for you and your family? What if a simple majority decided to vote [...]
This was just posted to YouTube, but refers to an event a couple years ago.
One of the state’s TOP science educators was terminated because she would not (indeed could not) be neutral on creationism.
Creationism is not science. You can’t be teaching science and remain neutral about a religious doctrine specifically invented to deny science and [...]
Score another one for the Romanian atheist!
Anyone here care to respond to her comments?
Bottom line:
No Evidence = No God. Period.
It’s just NOT the same thing. Damn you for thinking gay and lesbian couples should be content with domestic partnerships, civil unions, or some other thing, while not allowing them to be married.
Recently I’ve become quite fond of bacon, cooked in the oven (300° for 15 minutes, then turned over and returned to cook another [...]
Background: Today the California Supreme Court announced their decision: Prop 8 remains, and same-sex marriage continues to be illegal in California, BUT the 18000 gay and lesbian couples who were legally married during that brief window in 2008 will remain legally married. What a weird little bubble to have floating around in a state where [...]
As discussed (at length) over at Pam’s House Blend, what happened today in California wasn’t about whether same sex marriage should be allowed (of course it should be), but it was about the mechanics of the California Constitution and how it works.
This doesn’t diminish the disappointment. The California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8 banning same [...]
This is just too obviously true
The problem isn’t that the “Word of God” isn’t indistinguishable from one’s personal opinion. The problem is that those who claim to hold to the “word of God” don’t realize that until they formed their opinions, it wasn’t the “word of God”. Declaring personal opinion to be the word of [...]
