God Hates You, Hate Him Back: Making Sense of The Bible by CJ Werleman
The God Virus: How religion infects our lives and culture by Darrel W Ray
Microcosm: E. Coli and the New Science of Life (this is excellent. Well written and fascinating. Highly recommended)

Happy Atheist Love

OHMYGOSH It’s Going To Be SO COOL!

GASP!

Hey everyone! How are you today? Hopefully all is well and good with you! So I’ve been trying to think of something really clever to write about for the last day or so and I’ve had terrible writer’s block. A common occurence for me, I know. Then I realized part of the reason I can’t think of anything to write about is because I actually have something going on in my life! So what else is a blog for but to regale people with the minutae of your life? :D

My friend Jeff is sending me a real microscope next week! Not like a little toy kid’s one, a real one from a lab! It might need some TLC and I know it will need a light, but he says other than that it’s in good condition. I’m sooooo excited! I have no [...]

Where Can I Buy Some Creedocide?

Butch and I were watching a new show called Important Things with Demetri Martin a little while ago. Demetri started on The Daily Show but I guess they saw how amazing this kid is, and now he has his own show. He’s amazing! He can play multiple instruments at once (something I could never do), and he’s ambidextrous… at the same time! So he can draw with both hands simultaneously! To me that’s just amazing.

Anyway, While that’s all clever and interesting, the show is quite funny. But this evening (which was actually on this past Wednesday but we just watched it on our DVR) the show took a turn to sheer freaking brilliance. He did a sketch called Power – Creedocide.

I did  a search on it to see if I could get the video for you. Apparently everyone has already gotten it up on their blogs. Sorry [...]

The Christian Questionnaire

This is so clever, I have to share it with you. We all need to keep copies of this to hand to those pesky christians trying to convert us to their cult: The Christian Proselytizer Questionnaire:

If you’re reading this paper, it means I’ve given it to you because you were proselytizing to me and you are a Christian. I’m giving you this paper to save us both some time; you see, I’m not a Christian, although I used to be. I’m a secular humanist, and I became one for both logical and emotive reasons.

Since I’ve been a Christian, I do know quite a bit about the religion, although I might not know much about your particular sect. (I use the word sect instead of the word denomination because I think it unfair that Christians get denominations, which is a nice-sounding word, [...]

Amusing and Serious Stuff

An amusing cartoon about a serious topic:

Women can’t make their own decisions according to Bill Napoli in South Dakota. This funny shirt is very helpful for all of us poor females that can’t think for ourselves. You can get the t-shirt here.

And a serious comparison about outgoing president Bush and Osama bin Laden. Remember [...]
