Not so much of the unveiled hate we’re used to this disservice, but more of an exploration of the hoops people will jump through to keep their chosen godhead happy. This video is about growing up in a fundamentalist christian household and the demonstrably evil toys that were not allowed stain one persons childhood. One can never be too careful as we all know that Care-bears are the direct line to Satan.
My Little Pony is apparently hell on wheels as well. Behold!
The god of justice, compassion and eternal fiery torment for us atheist types gives us proof of his love in his most revered book…
I’m thinking with a kill streak like that god probably has an *aimbot.
(* For those unfamiliar with FPS computer gaming – an aimbot is a program designed to let the users cheat while playing a multiplayer map)
Finding out that many religions are paradoxical is like making the discovery that there happens to be chlorine in salt. Looking at the basis of the christian god it is obvious that not one, but several paradoxes are required to make sense of who or what he/she happens to be.
Like many religious arguments that end with, “I feel it in my heart” or “I believe it to be true” the following needs be added to the lexicon of say nothing evasive responses -“OH, its supernatural…” Watch darkmatter 2525 probe the depths of this topic.
It is always funny to watch people try to argue against evolution without actually knowing what evolution is. Constructing straw men to beat down, making appeals to ignorance and arguments from incredulity seem to be the game plan for most arguments of the religious against well established scientific fact. The Living Dinosaur makes a great video rebutting a creationist claim that complex biochemical pathways could not have possibly evolved over time. Making such a claim requires a fairly good understanding of biology and evolution, do you think the creationists did their homework so as to make a defensible legitimate claim? Watch LD and find out.
Richard Dawkins has a new new book out called the Magic of Reality. Doing the promotional rounds in the UK and the US must promote a certain amount of cognitive dissonance for Dawkins as the calibre of the questions he faces varies a great deal depending on which side of the Atlantic he’s on. Compare and contrast, my faithful readership, the two interviews conducted with Dawkins, one by the BBC and the other by Fox News.
As a North American, the second interview makes me ashamed to share the same continent with ‘commentators’ that espouse the merits of bronze age wisdom in the 21st century.
Sometimes the weather works in your favour. This video by Concordance is a perfect example of just such an occasion.
Perhaps the good governor will pray for atheists next time. :)
It has been a stressful week here at DWR central. So be prepared for a video heavy/prose light week this upcoming week.
The Disservice today is a short clip from the show Dexter on religion and belief. It’s nice to see television media approaching the question of religion and atheism.
