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
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
I do my level best not to pay any attention to politics these days. It’s all crap, no matter what side you’re on and I’ve got better things to do than bother with it. All political advertising goes straight into the trash without being looked at. I’ve started to tell people who call that I’m actively voting against anyone whose followers bother me. Most of the time, they just hang up.
That said though, sometimes it’s hard to avoid the terrible crap and that comes almost entirely from the left. I just wanted to look at two or three of them. Continue reading Absurd Political Ads
I find it very difficult to even watch so-called “vegan” content because the underlying assumptions made are just ludicrous IMO. Why? Because it’s all based on people’s fee-fees and as anyone who has watched my videos knows, I don’t give a damn about your feelings, only your facts. Any argument made on the basis of “but it makes me unhappy!” is just bullshit. I absolutely don’t care, which is why things like “ethical veganism” just make me roll my eyes. That’s why I decided to take a look at an article online trying to defend it and point out all of the places that it’s just ridiculously wrong. Continue reading The Rank Stupidity of Veganism
This is what makes being a secular conservative so difficult sometimes because the vast majority of people that you might have one thing in common with, you invariably strongly disagree with them on their underlying principles.
Take Charlie Kirk, for example. In general terms, I agree with a lot of the things he says. It’s just when he opens his mouth about religion that I absolutely cringe. So let’s explore one of his videos and see exactly where the problems lie. Continue reading Where Charlie Kirk goes Wrong
Not long ago, Richard Dawkins posted the above tweet and the leftist world shit it’s collective pants. What the hell else is new? Yet this time, I think people are starting to recognize the standard progressive dog whistle isn’t actually working. Lots of very influential people on the atheist and skeptical side are starting to ask questions and recognizing that this isn’t actually making any sense. So here’s my take on it and why none of this is actually a surprise.
Hope you enjoy.
