Well, maybe.
Skeptics Day is either October 13th, January 13th, or the first Friday the 13th of the year. I’m going with October 13th to fit my own selfish needs.
However, yesterday was Freethought Day. A real and recognized by Wikipedia (and a number of other groups) holiday. I didn’t realize it was Freethought Day until this [...]
The Internet: The world’s longest argument.
The Internet: The Nerds, the Noobs and the Pwnd
The Internet: 6 Billion idiots. 1 Address.
The Internet: Mental Masturbation and, well, all kinds of masturbation.
The Internet: What else does Al Gore have to do?
The Internet: As easy as Lindsay Lohan. It’s open 24/7, shows you anything you want, and believes you [...]
Wow. I just found this site today — it’s Eternal Earthbound Pets, a pet care service for all those pious pet owners who get taken to heaven during the rapture.
You’ve committed your life to Jesus. You know you’re saved. But when the Rapture comes what’s to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound [...]
What can I say about Nellie McKay? (pronounced Mc-EYE, so I’m not rhyming)
I can’t sing her praises enough. I think she is one of the most genius artists creating music today, but that’s just my opinion. Her albums feature various styles of songs and many influences. She can play a variety of [...]
I knew that I was in for a treat when I learned that the 300+ atheists from the Secular Student Alliance had a special Twitter hashtag for their Creation Museum walkthrough. (In fact, two of our members went on that trip!) Check out the tweets here.
So when I saw that one of the attendees made [...]
I needed something funny this morning so, here are some of my favorite jokes of a rational/philosophical/freethought nature.
**********
During the Reign of Terror of the French Revolution, one morning’s executions began with three men: a rabbi, a Catholic priest, and a rationalist skeptic.
The rabbi was marched up onto the platform first. There, facing the guillotine, [...]
For maybe a million years we have toiled.
Long it seems we have waited for our present minds to dawn.
Several billion years go by in the blink of a new-born eye.
Yet, eternity will go by even faster when you’re dead.
Why must purpose be attributed to everything?
And why is life’s apparent purpose always confused with life’s apparent [...]
I stumbled-upon a blog that stumbled-upon freethoughtpedia’s funny theist quotes.
Some of these were too good not to share:
From years of studying environmentalists I have come to the conclusion that they are both religion based and mentally ill. This makes for a dangerous combination. [...]
The mental illness of environmentalism manifests itself is three forms; Paranoid, Delusional [...]
If you know me, you’ll know that I love pencils. I have dozens of them, and even write reviews over at the PencilThings.com blog. I get a subscription to the Pencil of the Month Club (you may commence the laughing now). So when this double-erasered gag pencil showed up, I knew I would like it, [...]
I have been at a loss for words lately, but I thought that it would be nice to have something new on the blog, so I decided to do a Google news search for the term “atheist.” Of course I received a long list of results, but the one that really struck me was a [...]
