Religions cannot claim a monopoly on objective morality: The debate is based on flawed definitions

Bible Contradictions #21: Should Christians preach to atheists?
Atheists get preached to all the time! Which is sort of block headed if you ask me. Between friends, family, neighbors, and even complete strangers, evangelical Christians really like trying to evangelize the non-believers. They believe it is their Christian duty … Continue reading

Late last year we heard about the pastor who was taking a break from god, trying out atheism for 365 days to see what it has to offer. Ryan J. Bell’s decision sparked a few controversies: From his church (who … Continue reading

The battle over gay rights: Terrorism is no longer just for terrorists
With all of the progress made in recent months for equal rights for the LGBT community, we’ve also seen a reactionary movement. The recent Arizona bill that was–thank god—vetoed yesterday by Gov. Jan Brewer was the most extreme reactionary force against … Continue reading

Choosing to believe in god: Choice is not an option
I’m strange because I don’t like chocolate. I never have. Give me vanilla or strawberry any day of the week over chocolate. I didn’t choose to not like chocolate. Early on my parents noticed me swapping my chocolate Halloween candy … Continue reading

Bible Contradictions #20: Does god value foolishness?
Paul’s first letter to Corinth was a rave review of how awesome it is to be a fool. We have three different verses in which Paul insists that god really likes foolish people. 1 Corinthians 1:21 (god loves preaching fools), 1 Corinthians … Continue reading

Bible Absurdities: Very awkward conversation Moses MUST have had with god
Most people know the story of Moses. He was a Jew, kidnapped by the Pharaoh and raised a royal, decided he liked gefilte fish more than those grapes you always see pharaohs eating, sat idly by while god committed mass … Continue reading

Anne Rice calls out Christian bigotry on her Facebook page

The alternate god: Why can’t religious people worship the god they wish existed?
A few months ago I conducted a totally legit scientific poll* of my Facebook friends. I asked a simple question to my friends of faith: “Let’s assume that god exists, but he exists in a different form from what you believe. … Continue reading

Bible Contradictions #19: Who was Heman’s father?
Heman is not an extraordinary character in the bible. He appears to be nothing more than a struggling street musician who penned a depressingly dark one hit wonder called Psalm 88. Indeed, Heman is quite obscure. A quick look to … Continue reading
