Islam Is Not Peaceful, People Are Peaceful
I cannot count the number of times that I have heard a Muslim state emphatically that Islam is a peaceful religion. This declaration is normally proffered on the heels of some horribly violent world event, such as another suicide bomber, now on his glorious path to awaiting virgins (who is dim enough to buy into [...]
Religion – Doomed To Fail
Every study conducted in recent years concerning the religiosity of the U.S. (at least those that I am aware of) shows a decline in the percentages of those who claim to have religious faith. To be sure, this decline is small in the overall picture but it is steady and seems to be accelerating. On [...]
The Six Dumbest Reasons to Reproduce
To keep the family name alive. Of all the senseless, vain things to do, you would bring a human life into this world solely to keep your last name in the phone book? Moron. To have someone take care of you in your old age. This has to be just about the most pathetic excuse [...]
The Militant Atheist, The Businessman, And The Fibber
I’ve never been a fan of the term “militant atheist.” It implies that the subject has their ideological sword ready at all times to do battle with the fidels (look, I made up a word!) The term “devout atheist” or “staunch atheist” seems to get the job done without characterizing them as out picking senseless [...]
It Is Not My Job To Fix The World
When I read articles or advertisements in the mainstream media dealing with alternative medicine, transcendental meditation, organic foods, and such, I feel anger. Why is that? It is not my job to fix the world. Right now, there are people spending money on water pills, a.k.a. homeopathic remedies, instead of going to the doctor. I [...]
Separation of Church and State is a Fantasy
Anyone who is paying attention knows that separation of church and state is laughable in the United States. When the U.S. government designates a National Day of Prayer, you know that lawmakers are barely keeping the smirk off their faces. Courthouses display the Ten Amendments, and government grants are made available exclusively to religious schools. [...]
I’m Godless And Now Filthy Rich!
After fielding thousands of offers from blogrolls pleading with me to join them, I have made a difficult choice and gone with the Atheist Blogroll. I could tell you that it was our concordant intellectual philosophies, but truthfully, it was their generous $1.2 billion offer. Who knew that nonbelievers were so well-funded? So now I [...]
A Heartbeat Away!
This is the person who, if elected in November, would be a heartbeat away from being the President of the United States: Holy crap! I suspect that most previous presidents and candidates presented themselves as God-fearing in order to protect their electability, but Sarah Palin is a true believer! We need a rational thinker at [...]
How Religion Will Be Judged In The Future
From today’s news, a quote regarding the uncertain path of Hurricane Hanna: “Hopefully the good Lord will bless us and this storm will skirt past, but we are ready in whatever case happens,” the North Charleston mayor said. Here it is, 2008, and it is surreal that the vast majority of Americans believe in an [...]
Rejecting Inoculations
I just read another article about a bunch of kids getting sick or dying because their parents, due to religious beliefs, refused to allow them to be inoculated. The author conveyed a tone of frustration over the avoidable deaths. I have a different take. I think it a good thing that these idiot parents are [...]
About
My name is John. I have opinions about everything, especially about how to solve world problems. Most of my rants have to do with the runaway stupidity on this planet. If you don't agree with my views, that's OK - it's a free country (kinda). Just don't mistake this site for a democracy!
