Behold, an opinion piece from the New York Times which advocates that which everyone in the League of Reason already knows: religion thrives on actively suppressing any and all rational thought. Enjoy this literary...

Apparently chemotherapy is what killed Patrick Swayze instead of, you know, HIS CANCER. Somebody sew her mouth shut please. WTF is up with people saying that our bodies are full of "toxins" anyways...
A federal judge has cleared the way for the government's seizure of a creationism theme park in Pensacola owned by a couple [re: Kent and Jo Hovind] convicted of tax fraud.
Looks like the United States government plans to sell it in order to recover lost tax revenue. I'll give 'em $3 to tear...
This is an op ed piece that was written by Stephen C. Meyer from the Discover Institute back on July 15th. Feel free to laugh, I know I did.

LiveScience.com has an interesting (albiet short) article on why we've been to the moon but we haven't seemed to get that much smarter. I wish they had expended some of their arguments a bit more but it does lay the groundwork for a good...
I don't know whether to post this over on the YouTube forum or here, since technically it falls into both categories. I'm not sure if this has been posted before, but if not then have a gander at this hilarious gem. This is a parody of creationism but it brings up several valid points on issues...
Warning: this article contains a lot of hilarious NSFW language

Did you know, for example, that Adam is responsible not only for the fall of man, but also for the creation of venom? It didn't exist in the Garden of...
Cracked.com recently featured a hilarious article on a bunch of very popular conspiracy theories.
My personal favorite 'shadow group controlling the world' from that list is the lizard people. ZOMG!!! :shock:
For all those on the East Coast, the "Drinking Skeptically" group for Connecticut is the best one I've been a part of. The organizer, Margey, is absolutely fantastic and has managed to book fascinating speakers every month ranging the gamut from Yale and NYU professors to local paranormal...
I've been having a ball lately watching all the YouTube debate and debunking videos and stumbled onto this site through AndromedasWake's profile. I'm a freethinker currently residing in Connecticut -yes, the same state that produced this recent national newsworthy gem - and I'm a big believer in...
