Dear House Republicans, I regret to inform you that our household will be unable to pay anymore in taxes this year. This is because we've hit our arbitrarily set number that we call our "debt ceiling". This completely made up number sets the maximum amount of cash that we allow ourselves to...

Scene opens with me at a pulpit reading from scripture. "Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren; (pause) And Judas begat Phares and Zara of Thamar; and Phares begat Esrom; and Esrom begat Aram; (pause) Oh it's no good. I never wanted to do this...

W Bush: "I'm snubbing your invitation to come to Ground Zero because you hurt my feelings! Waaaaahhhhhh" http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/201...ugh-credit Fuck you, George! After running our economy into the ground, lying us into your private little war, rolling back the Constitution...

The President announced his re-election bid yesterday and suddenly cares about progressives again, wanting us to sign up, donate and volunteer to get him re-elected (evidently, the Republicans and conserva-dems he's been wooing for the last two years don't want to return the affection). In that...

Back when I was a kid, I learned this silly song during a summer camp: The contradictions were part of the silliness of the song but imagine the passage appeared in the Bible. Would that phase Christian apologists who insist that there are no contradictions in their sacred scripture? I'm going...

These days, we have two political parties: the crazy fascists and the milquetoast moderates. The crazy fascists run our country into the ground and until voters elect milquetoast moderates into positions of power. After we fight to get them into office, the moderates fold up into the fetal...

The other thread on feminism or batshit insaneism http://forums.leagueofreason.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=4866 has got me thinking a bit about the topic. I want to explore the issue further into a territory that may be controversial. The topic I'd like to discuss is how we resolve issues of...

I have a hypothesis regarding what religion typically regards as heretical that I would like to throw out there for everyone's consideration: As a religion becomes more dominant in society, as measured by the percentage of the population that identifies as adherents of the faith, it becomes...

My Jesus Timeline video has received the attention of a Christian apologist who has tried to answer, among other things, the contradiction between Luke and Matthew regarding the birth date of Jesus. For those not familiar with the problem, Matthew places the birth of Jesus before the death of...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HkYgJHPsaM&annotation_id=annotation_714568&feature=iv This is an old topic that I'm sure everyone here has dealt with at some point (as the League of Reason did during their recent radio show). Many Islamo-Christians like to think that religious guidance is...

Those familiar with my videos will know I was originally fascinated with the Jesus myth. My efforts to uncover the "real story" about the supposed founder of the Christian faith turned up more questions than answers. Outside the Bible, there are only a few references to this man and even these...

So there's this water molecule in which the two hydrogen atoms get up one day and tell the oxygen atom, "hey, we think we both lost our electrons." The oxygen atom replies, "are you positive?" OK, anyone know any better ones?

More news from the asylum of Christianity: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36075836/ns/us_news-security/ From the article:

I've often heard others in the freethought community comment on Christians who use the morality argument as a source of validation. Such Christians often claim that without a belief in God (along with scripture and commandments), there's no reason to be moral. The usual commentary is to...

Did I miss something? Did something happen in the news with regard to Scientology? Just curious about the new banner.

Question: Are terms like "macroevolution" and "microevolution" real, as in used by biologists, or are they terms that Creationists made up? AronRa refers to "macroevolution" in his 11th Foundational Falsehood of Creationism as speciation. He's a source I have tremendous respect for but was...

Am I right when i use the term "Dr. Dawkins"?

I don't actually believe this but I just thought up this conspiracy theory: After 9/11, the neo-cons took advantage of a nation shocked and scared to lie us into a war in Iraq. Concerned that when no WMD were found in Iraq, they created the 9/11 Truth Movement. The idea was to put out...
