What happens when your privileged place in society begins to erode? Well, like a spoiled child, you relentlessly accuse others of being mean bullies for not letting them have their way. It takes time to become an adult, but expecting religion to mature is unrealistic. Take Matt Barber: He's accusing secularists of being "bullies", and his solution is playground fare: punch them in the mouth, Christians! How ...

As many of you may know, I'm in the process of moving from Montreal to Calgary, and because these two cities are so crazy far apart, the actual move itself is going to take several days. That means posting and podcasts are going to slow down a bit until I'm settled in my new home. It doesn't mean I'll be disappearing (you can't pull one of those and expect to make it far in Internetland); it just means with ...

In our brave new world, multicultural and diverse as it is, our moral sensibilities can often be rattled by the brutishness and ignorance of many cultural traditions that make their way to our shores. As some of you reading this blog may remember, my heart bleeds for the way African children are tortured due to a dangerous mix of new and ancient religious superstitions. The Christian crusade to possess Afri ...

Despite the fact the whole world makes fun of Ray Comfort and his lapdog Kirk Cameron over their "croc-o-duck" idea, it seems though the pair has decided this argument still holds water. If this is news to you, let me summarize the "theory": because animals evolve slowly over time, Ray believes the process of transmutation would create strange hybrids. One such creature he nicknamed the "Croc-o-duck", and b ...

There's so much that's sad with this video it's hard to pinpoint which part stands out, so instead I chose the quotes I felt best represent her special brand of brainwashing: "Me wearing Hijab is my relationship between me and Allah" It's always a good sign when your deity has an inherent distrust of the female form. Better cover it up, since it's the only way you can be guaranteed someone won't molest and ...

Actually, the odds of the Titanic hitting that iceberg were astronomically small; as it turns out, it was a series of poor decisions by the crew that led to the disaster. Had the ship actually crashed head on into the iceberg, it would have survived the impact. Ironically, it was their attempt to navigate around it that ultimately led to the ship sinking. So, if I can use their stupid metaphor against them ...

This week, Jeff Jones joins me after a 2 year absence to have a super disjointed Podstravaganza, clocking it at 2 hours! We cover everything from Freddie Mercury's sexy mustache to how science fiction changes our future. Come and get your fix! ...

What do you do when Kirk Cameron is making accusations that he can't substantiate? Why, you ridicule him, of course! ...

I love these kinds of stories. They help give courage to young people who want to fight for what they believe in. Nahkoura Mahnassi has taken a stand: her school is planning on holding their graduating ceremony in the controversial New Birth Missionary Baptist Church. You might remember that its pastor, Eddie Long, had been accused of sexual misconduct with 4 young men (which was later settled out of court. ...

You hear that fellas? You're the "high priest" of the household, which means you can do whatever the fuck you want. Wow, what a great deal, and all because I have a penis! If you're a misogynistic, gullible idiot who would rather give your money to a bunch of scammers than pay your bills and take care of your family, then the Church has room for you, my friend! (via American Jesus) ...
