Caught a clip over on Atheist Experience and figured I’d comment on it. I have no problem with the way that they handled it, but it was obvious from the beginning that it was a lost case and they still wasted 25 minutes talking to this idiot. This is exactly why the religious are so bone-headed.
Take a look below the fold. Continue reading Here’s the Problem with Religion
I’ve said, in a couple of recent videos, that some of my religious and religious-adjacent books have gone “missing” since we’ve moved. There are still a bunch of boxes out in the garage that have never been unpacked and I’m sure that’s where they are. Some that I know are misplaced include things like my Qur’an, my Book of Mormon and, until recently, some of these!
I’m glad that I came across them again! Continue reading I Found a Few!
So the FFRF (Freedom from Religion Foundation) came out with a video after the Super Bowl, talking about the “Jesus Gets Us” ads. Generally speaking, when they’re talking about the ads themselves, they’re fine, but unfortunately, they took the opportunity to attack conservatism.
That’s not religion, stupid. Figure it out. Continue reading Why the FFRF (and other groups) Suck

So I came across this video today over on Nerdrotic where they were showing a video of Bill Maher making fun of the woke leftist mob, comparing them to Mao’s Cultural Revolution. It’s a worthwhile watch, the video is below the fold, but the one thing that I wanted to point out is that all of this sounds an awful lot like something else we’re familiar with around here.
It sounds just like religion. Continue reading Sounds Just Like Religion, Right?
I see so many people getting this wrong that I thought I’d write a quick post on it. Lots of people misunderstand what the burden of proof is and when they actually have to trot their proof out. It’s really not that hard, but I’ve seen lots of people giving bad information, or at least suggesting bad information.
So here’s how it works. Continue reading The Problem of the Burden of Proof
A couple of weeks ago, we went to a memorial service for my father-in-law. He’s been dead for a number of months, but his friends wanted to get together and have a ceremony for him and we sat there, up front.
Even though they acknowledged that my wife’s father was not, in any way, religious, the people running it insisted on shoving religion into it in every conceivable way.
How about no? Continue reading Why Can’t the Religious Stop?
Now I’ll be honest up front that I am not a big fan of the Friendly Atheist, just like I’m not a big fan of most atheists who routinely mix liberal politics with their atheism and he’s among the worst. This isn’t really about him specifically though, he’s just a convenient segue. However, he put out a video talking about Candace Cameron Bure and… yeah, we have to talk about it because it’s another clear case where the left entirely ignore all of the things that their side does wrong.
So here we go again. Continue reading Another Example of Ideological Blindness
I don’t typically do Christmas posts. I have in the past, I’ve also done Christmas-themed videos, but how much can you really say about a holiday that never changes? Therefore, at least online, I pretty much ignore all holidays because I’ve said what I have to say.
However, Viced Rhino did a video on Christmas and there’s a lot of problems in it that I wanted to address. I think this is another case of only looking at things from your own side.
So here we go. Continue reading Everything Viced Rhino Gets Wrong
My wife is a trained anthropologist so the second that the anthropology community got in an uproar over the new Netflix “documentary” Ancient Apocalypse, hosted by Graham Hancock, she insisted that we watch it.
It just reminded me that crazy people operate the same way across the board and this was no different. Continue reading It’s Just Like Religion!
Over on Reddit, someone posted a Christian who got upset that they came to an atheist subreddit, violated the rules, preached mindlessly and got banned. We see that all the time.
Unfortunately, we see the same thing happening in reverse, atheists who go to religious subreddits, make complete asses of themselves, get banned (and rightfully so) and then whine about it. I pointed that out and it’s a shame to see how idiotic a lot of atheists can be. Continue reading It’s Sad to Watch People be Dumb
