The day has arrived! Your Religion Is False is finally available for purchase! Of course you should go and buy as many copies as you can afford, and then you should tell your friends to do the same, and their friends, and their friends. However, I recognize that it might be a sleepless two nights [...]

Apparently, PBS has decided to start getting rid of religious programs from its airwaves. This doesn’t affect me a whole lot, as I am not much of a PBS fan. Ever since they took “3-2-1 Contact” off the air, I only ever watch PBS for the McLaughlin Group. “Why don’t you like PBS?” you’re wondering. [...]

Polluters of the world! If you’re looking for a religious excuse to dump untreated sewage onto your neighbors’ properties, look no farther than the Swartzentruber Amish: The septic fight began in late 2006 when the executive director of the Cambria County Sewage Enforcement Agency, Deborah Sedlmeyer, found that human waste at the schoolhouse, where 18 [...]

As we’ve discussed before, many religions are struggling to keep their flocks. However, all is not gloom and doom. For instance, there’s a cute article this weekend in the New York Times about a non-religiously-raised kid who suddenly insists his (ex-monk) dad start taking him to church on Sundays: He did not want his mother [...]

I’m sure that, like me, you enjoy reading Billy Graham’s syndicated advice column, in which he explains things like why atheists draw so much attention, why god allows evil in the world, why god allows evil in the world, why god allows evil in the world, why god allows evil in the world, and why [...]

It’s a terrible job market for new college graduates. Lots of companies aren’t hiring at all this year. Many companies that are hiring have seen their reputations tarnished recently. And not everyone is self-motivated enough to follow Seth Godin’s advice. That explains why a surprising number of college students are looking for (government / religious) [...]

Friend of the blog Enemy of the blog (and anti-evolutionist, and Discovery Institute waterboy, and loathsome human being) David Klinghoffer gloats that the Holocaust Museum shooter was an “evolutionist,” based on his demented writings: As with ALL LIBERAL ideologies, miscegenation is totally inconsistent with Natural Law: the species are improved through in-breeding, natural selection and [...]

Carter Howell and Seth Munger are a lot like you and me. They’re “just 19- and 20-year-old guys.” They’re “not different than other people.” And yet some people look at them like they’re “from a different planet.” All because they’re Mormon missionaries: The day begins at 6:30 a.m. and follows a schedule that includes time [...]

Anti-evolutionist and friend of the blog David Klinghoffer has another gem this morning, coming up with a theory to explain why a Chinese friend of his converted to Judaism: [Maybe] God imprints a certain kind of religious preference, one of numerous possible imprints, on each person. This theory has a number of virtues. For instance, [...]
