Ray Comfort’s Personal Cartoonist
As people may know, I make comics about religion. But, they’re created from the standpoint of an Atheist. Of course, one of my goals is to get people to start thinking about religion and ultimately start questioning their belief system. Recently, I found a cartoonist with the exact same goals but a completely different perspective. Richard Gunther is a New…

Christian Identity: The scary religion you don’t know about
Sadly, Michigan is home to an awful lot of racist bastards with guns. The Hutaree group arrested in May 2010 for stockpiling guns and explosives is a pretty good example.

Via Gawker comes this confirmation from Times spokesperson Catherine Mathis: Ben Stein’s fine work for us…

Atheists Caused Religion!
Okay, so that was a slightly hyperbolic title, but its inspiration is suitably fascinating: Massimo Pigliucci reports today on a recent study suggesting that religion spread through human societies thanks to the encouragement of non-believers. The possible explanation is bizarre yet plausible. Perhaps, people feel as though a person who sacrifices to an imaginary deity is more likely to make…

I didn’t listen and I don’t regret a thing.
Last night I went to Skeptics in the Pub, London, as usual, but ended up doing something out of character. I left a few minutes into the talk because I thought the speaker was talking such utter rot, not only was it pointless me continuing to listen, but it would actually have a negative impact on me. That is, it…
