14LATEST NEWS: Cosmic Shambles LIVE
The Atheist Foundation of Australia is excited to announce that it will be presenting Cosmic Shambles LIVE in Australia in March/April 2017.
Cosmic Shambles LIVE is a variety show that celebrates curiosity and reason, an explosion of science, comedy, music and general wonder, with a great sense of fun. Hosted by comedian and writer Robin Ince, best known for co-hosting The Infinite Monkey Cage, and joined by a cast of world leading scientists, comedians and performers – this is a show that will make you laugh and make you think.
As the show travels across Australia (and New Zealand), many local acts and scientists will be incorporated into the show, making for a unique and different experience with every performance. Each show will be packed with surprises and secret guests.
Make sure you’re are on board for what is bound to be a series of nights like no other. Funky sounds! Nerdy wonders! Dazzling spreadsheets! Confused earthworms! And everything else besides.
Part proceeds from the show will be going to great charities like Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders).

Well it is a blood cult.
EMAIL OF THE WEEK? Monica was apparently not happy about one of my articles from earlier in the week: bit.ly/2kc3K3J Yes, I think it's petty to stoop to conversations over grammar. On the other hand, one sentence earlier we were talking about drinking a preacher's blood, so... I'm gonna give myself a pass on this one. #NotAllChristians

It happens.
Bush scripture FIRIS receives complaints about SRE in public schools from Perth to Byron Bay and everywhere in between. It seems each town has a story or two to tell. Tonight we will take a closer look at the small, country town of Stockinbingal in the NSW Riverina district. A frustrated mother explained to FIRIS that she sent her youngest child to Stockinbingal Primary School and wrote “no religion” on the enrolment form. The principal approached her and explained to the mother that her child would have to attend SRE despite her expressed wishes because “we are a small school and there are no alternative activities to scripture”. The mother reported to FIRIS “Other parents won’t speak out because it’s a small town……but they aren’t happy”. If a parent found themselves in this situation at Stockinbingal and thought they should find out more about what religious instruction was being forced on their school they could not. In a clear breach of department procedure the school has failed to put any information on their website or in their newsletters about who is presenting SRE at the school. Irrespective of what brand of Christian SRE is being foisted on the students of Stockinbingal this mother’s feeling was that “I don’t want my kids exposed to it.” So the parents remove their child from the school and enrol in a different area. Here they also write “no religion” on the form. The school responds by sending a note about alternative activities to SRE. The mother writes on this form “under no circumstances is my child to be exposed to religious instruction of any kind”. Her son comes home from school at the end of the week to report that the school sent him to scripture. This system is totally broken and the parents and kids of NSW are suffering as a result.
