Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.30.11
“That anybody believes in God — just because somebody severe-looking told them God exists — is really a hoot… Some guy who looks like Charlton Heston clutching the Ten Commandments is passing judgment on the universe… Like the guy would even have time to care about your pathetic little life: ‘Hmm, Amy stiffed the coffee bar on a tip today. I suppose I’ll have to smite...
My Friends Are Super Cool! or I Can Colour! →
So if you don’t know the work of Jacob Chabot, you should. He is one talented muthafuckah! I’ve previously posted a sketch he did for me in one of my Sketchbook Series posts. WELL, I’ve got…
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.30.11
“‘Rational’ Christians fell over themselves to make it plain that they were much too sensible to believe such fairy tales…about God creating the world in six days. What a preposterous suggestion! Where was the science in that? Everyone knew the story of Genesis was just a rhetorical flourish. God created evolution. Now, not a month later, the same Christians ask us to...
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.29.11
“The religious interpretations that compel Muslim women to wear the veil in secular countries where church and state have long been separated and where equality of the sexes is firmly established, reveals a mentality that is not content merely with veiling woman, but seeks to shroud man, society, like in general — to pull the veil over the eyes of reason itself.”

“The United States of America is in on sense founded on the Christian Religion.”
-John Adams (1735-1826), Founding Father and second U.S. president. A Deist, like many of the Founding Fathers, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. Deists rejected organized religion and the...
14 sci-fi actors we'd watch in ANYTHING →
I’d follow Lucy Lawless to the ends of the earth. But from this list, only her, Nathan Fillion, Wil Wheaton & Summer Glau would I watch anything for. I don’t really care too much about the rest.
wilwheaton:
I can’t believe I am included on this list. The actors here are just incredible.
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.25.11
“Fantastic doctrines (like Christianity or Islam or Marxism) require the unanimity of belief. One dissenter casts doubt on the creed of millions. Thus the fear and the hate; thus the torture chamber, the iron stake, the gallows, the labor camp, the psychiatric ward.”
-Edward Abbey (1927-1989), American author/environmental advocate. Wrote most memorably about the Western deserts where...

Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.24.11
“You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci… He looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn’t fuck around… For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit.”

Just in time for my cursing blog, my Get Fuzzy calendar had a few days of adorable Satchel’s way of swearing. Thought I’d share! #&@!!*$# I love…
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.23.11
“God has more important thing to do than talk to little French girls in jail [i.e., Joan of Arc]…and give you hair growing on the palm of your hand if you masturbate.”

Marvel loves you too @wilw! Come on by the office next time you’re in NYC! :-)

When I was a kid, I was a DC Universe guy all the way, with rare forays into X-Men books.
I realized last week, though, that the DCU does absolutely nothing for me these days, and I’ve stopped reading DC books, even Batman, which I don’t even recognize at the moment.
The Marvel Universe, though,...
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.22.11
“God has a lot to account for in the way of earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes and plagues. Nor has He ever shown much discrimination in his choice of victims. A tsunami hit Lisbon in 1755, on All Saints Day, when the good Christians were all in church. The faithful perished, while the denizens of the red light district, which was built on strong stone, simply carried on sinning. Similarly,...
Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.21.11
“The ruins were still smoldering when the reverends Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell went on television to proclaim that the [9/11] terrorist attacks were God’s punishment of a corrupt America. They said the government had adopted the agenda ‘of the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians’ not to mention the ACLU and People for the...

Quotable Atheist quote of the day 3.18.11
“The roots of this antagonism to science run very deep… We see them in Genesis…in which the first humans are doomed and cursed eternally for asking a question, for partaking of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge… [Eden] is more like a maximum-security prison with twenty-four hour surveillance. It’s a horrible place.”
-Ann Druyan (1949- ), American author and...
