From Michael Nugent in Ireland, I found the following and thought I’d spread the blasphemy around and share it with you. Here’s to hoping Ireland gets a bit of sense and repeals this dangerous and ridiculous law. It’s a giant step backwards for human progress, as is the UN blasphemy movement that’s been going on for awhile now. I’ve added some nice religious imagery for eye candy. 
From January 1, 2010, the new Irish blasphemy law became operational, and those in Atheist Ireland began their campaign to have it repealed. Blasphemy is now a crime punishable by a €25,000 fine. The new law defines blasphemy as publishing or uttering matter that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby intentionally causing outrage among a substantial number [...]

 Hello Everyone! I hope, if you’re in the States, you had a happy 3 day weekend (all non-Americans, I hope you had a happy regular weekend!). Mine was packed full of socializing centered around the annual family reunion. Needless to say I’ve been quite busy, but I did want to show you something my friend Rachel over at Morgantown Brights shared with me since we’re always talking about logical fallacies here.
Nothing can reduce your happiness faster than an argument with an irrational co-worker. You can’t win irrational people over to your side by your superior reasoning abilities. And you can’t talk them into getting inside abandoned refrigerators and closing the door to see if the light goes out. There simply aren’t that many abandoned refrigerators. If you use the refrigerator in the break room, everyone will start whining about how there’s no room for yogurt. Until there are [...]

What a strange question from an atheist, huh? But I really mean it. Which quote is your favorite, or do you prefer a story from somewhere in the bible? Here’s my favorite at the moment:
Psalms 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Look, I made it into a motivational poster so we can all be inspired by the “good book”.
Lovely, huh? The text at the top was inspired by my husband Butch, no god involved. I turned it into a t-shirt (and other stuff, of course) too! 
Know god, No Peace; No god, Know Peace. This is the correct wording.
So that’s the “good book” that gets cherry-picked by ignorant christians every [...]

 I was stumbling around the intertoobs and found a blog post at dmiessler titled The Jesus Quote You’ll Never Hear In Church. The quote is as follows:
Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.
Now, this is actually the end of the parable of the talents that jesus is telling. Basically the lesson that jesus seems to imply is that god takes what is not rightly his and reaps what he didn’t sow. Of course, jesus freely admits that he tells parables to confuse people so they will go to hell:
Mark 4:10-12 And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: [...]

 This is so fascinating to me. I heard this a bit ago and wanted to share it with you. It’s a rough quote, because I’m not good at dictation:
“Studies strongly suggest that beliefs are encoded in the brain differently than facts. Different parts of the brain seem to light up when we recall facts than when we recall thematic beliefs or emotional conclusions or beliefs about things.” Dr. Steven Novella, an academic neurologist from the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast, episode 163, September 3rd, 2008.
How cool is that? I’ve always kind of vaguely wondered if there was a difference with how a believer thinks as opposed to an atheist. Now, before you go tearing me apart, Steven Novella said that this is all very new and not set in stone at all. If you know of any studies, let me know. He also [...]
