    • Opinion: For 'cultural' Jews focus not on God November 8, 2009

    • Apostasy is a crime punishable by death in Islamic countries November 9, 2009
      Wake up, everyone: Iran is about to execute three men for the crime of atheism…well, specifically, apostasy, rejecting the Islamic faith. The news is not good. Habibollah Latifi, Ehsan (Esma'il) Fattahian and Sherko Moarefi have all been sentenced to death for "enmity against God" in unconnected cases over the last two years. They are b […]
    • Mr Deity brings me solace and hope November 9, 2009
      To get this, you may want to look at the last episode of Mr Deity, in which Jesse and the Deity struggled with the implications of the trinity — it was hopelessly confusing. This is the blooper reel from the making of that episode. That was hard. It makes me feel good, though, because these guys are pros…and my little incursion into their world […]
    • The Deep Rifts simply call us unto the breach once more November 9, 2009
      I hereby declare this the official theme of the whimpering, pathetic, anti-atheist backlash of 2009: there are Deep Rifts in atheism. It's all over the place, and it's a little weird. YOU would think, wouldn't you, that one of the principal attractions of atheism would be the complete absence of schisms. Where the devout always seem to be work […]
    • Correcting Ken Ham's standard omission November 9, 2009
      I'm feeling a bit nauseous right now. I'm not sure whether I'm coming down with the flu, or whether it was merely the monthly arrival of answers update, the newsletter from Answers in Genesis, which is mainly a catalog selling garish lies. Anyway, the reason I'm writing this instead of either puking into the ceramic shrine or tossing the […]
    • Evolution in two minutes November 9, 2009
      Discover Magazine announced a contest to create a two-minute video explanation of evolution many months ago, and we finally have a winner. All five of the entries are good, so go to the link and watch them all! Read the comments on this post...
    • The cameraman speaks November 9, 2009
      We're learning a bit more about the fellow who was maced and arrested in Chicago, thanks to the efforts of the Chicago Ethical Humanist Society; members of that group are busily writing to me to let me know the Whole Truth of the incident, and why they were justified in siccing the police on Sunsara Taylor's cameraman. It's weird, though: they […]

    • We're doomed. It's another sign of the apocalypse. November 9, 2009
      Gene Ray, of Timecube infamy, has a twitter account. If he and Ashton Kutcher started following one another, that would be like crossing the streams. It would be bad. By the way, he's not a very funny guy — more like a racist homophobe with an ego. Not a nice fellow at all. Read the comments on this post...
    • A wonderful debate November 8, 2009
      You will enjoy yourself immensely watching Hitchens and Fry debating a pair of Catholic apologists. Click on the image below (you can see how the debate ended already)! Oh. Unless you're a Catholic or other Christian — you won't enjoy that at all. You might want to go to church instead. Read the comments on this post...
    • The world is ending, again November 8, 2009
      I'm sorry to have to mention this again, but there's a chance the world will end on Wednesday. The same guy with the website that was designed to make you vomit from your eye sockets, who has been predicting the imminent end of the world over and over again, is predicting the apocalypse again. Ho hum. Anyway, I think he's been stung by his rep […]

Richard Dawkins: The Big Question

Posted on March 30, 2008 by atheistkiwi
