Happy Humanlight
Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009It’s Humanlight, a newish religion-free holiday for spreading good cheer and celebrating a vision for a better future.
Control-a-Deity Remote
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009By now, you’ve probably seen the Control-a-Cat remote on a blog or email forwarded from a friend. Like the Courage Campaign “Please Don’t Divorce Us” video, you can stop sending it to me now. I’ve seen it. Anyway, despite the fact I’ve never had a pet cat (unless you count Kat the Iguana from my [...]
Get On the Bus
Friday, February 6th, 2009If you’re anything like me, and you probably are, you’re very jealous of the atheists in London with their fancy bus campaign: “There is probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.” It seems the Christians of Britain were so jealous that three different groups have launched their own ad campaigns in the [...]
Instructions
Tuesday, January 13th, 2009Wow. I don’t know that it’s a perfect metaphor in all cases, but I like it.
The Force of Faith
Monday, January 5th, 2009I’ll say this much, my experiences with Mormonism never approached the level of outright abuse and torture leveled on Eric Norwood, whose story “Trapped in a Mormon Gulag” is a painful and unsurprising story. His tale is one of many from the Utah Boys Ranch – a sort of private education/prison facility run by professional [...]
War On Christmas 2008
Thursday, December 11th, 2008Apparently, being an atheist and speaking your mind in the months of October-December is hateful and intolerant. In Washington State, the government granted a permit to an atheist group to display a sign opposite a Christmas nativity display outside the Legislative Building in Olympia, Washington. The sign was stolen and the found later in a [...]
What More Is There Left To Say?
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008With less than a week until the election, today is Write To Marry Day, a nationwide effort to get bloggers blogging about all the reasons to oppose California’s proposition 8 (as well as Florida’s prop 2 and Arizona’s prop 102). So I’m writing today to encourage you to vote no on these ballot measures if [...]
Antidote
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008If you, like me, need an antidote to the parade of crusty old white men who profess to be heterosexual getting super excited about the possibility of deciding what happens to your daughter’s womb, that is the Republican National Convention, I have just the thing for you. The trailer for Milk was released today. Please [...]
Focus on the Anus asks for Rain on Obama’s Speech
Friday, August 8th, 2008via Joe.My.God Well, okay, Focus on the Anus’s “regular guy”, I know you said this isn’t a contest, but I can’t resist. But I’m not going to pray. I’m going to look to science for some guidance as to what is likely to occur. A quick check on Weather Underground finds that there is a [...]
I’m not feeling very nice today…
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008You know, there are days when I really, really want to stop playing nice. The LDS Church is asking members to “do all you can to support the proposed constitutional amendment [banning marriage equality in California] by donating of your means and time.” EDITED: I’ve deleted three paragraphs of angry and unpleasant things I had [...]
