Don’t violate the 9th commandment because you’re too lazy to read
I’m a serial non-commenter. It doesn’t mean I don’t read other people’s blogs — I do. I just don’t always have something to say. Often when I do comment it’s because someone — usually a theist — has violated the … Continue reading

Quran Contradiction #8: Will Jews and Christians go to hell?
It’s very, very unlikely that hell exists. But if it does, can we rely on the Quran to figure out who’s going there and who isn’t? Well, no, we can’t. In verse 3:85 the Quran tells us that everyone who follows any … Continue reading

Prominent Lebanese filmmaker and actress, Nadine Labaki, slams religion in Facebook post
