I’ve long been skeptical of the effectiveness of Change.org petitions. It’s a rather simple process to use throwaway email addresses to artificially inflate the results, and the results can be ignored as easily as deleting an email. But finally, I think the perfect Change.org petition has come our way. The petition? To rename communion wafers […] More
As I wrote about a couple weeks ago, schools in Kentucky are required to display the “In God We Trust” motto in a prominent location. It’s a clear endorsement of Christianity by what is supposed to be a secular government. But as Hemant Mehta at Friendly Atheist pointed out, one school found an interesting loophole […] More
A totally serious and completely real Biblical prophecy claims that the apocalypse will happen in December 2019, ending life as we know it on Earth once and for all. More specifically, on December 28th. FREAKING FINALLY. It’s about damn time. I’ve been getting pretty tired of all these wannabe apocalypse events that end up falling […] More
Neophytos Masouras, a bishop of a Greek Orthodox Church, told a group of schoolchildren that gay people exist because their mothers had anal sex while they were pregnant (and they liked it). Another day, another religious nutcase saying something completely ridiculous and objectively false. During “spiritual meetings of dialogue” (whatever that means), Masouras told the […] More
To comply with new legislation, all schools in Kentucky must now display an “In God We Trust” sign in a prominent area of their schools prior to students returning this fall. Writing for Kentucky.com, Valarie Honeycutt Spears reports: When classes start in the next few weeks, every school in Kentucky will have to prominently display […] More
Having received status as a tax-exempt church in April, The Satanic Temple is now challenging a recent Supreme Court ruling regarding the handling of fetal remains on the grounds that it impedes their religious practices. Before becoming Vice President, then-Indiana governor Mike Pence signed legislation that not only blocked abortions for reasons pertaining to race, […] More
Christians around the country, whether they admit it or not, are using the Bible as a basis for legislation, but what if I told you the Bible is actually very pro-choice? Last week, I wrote about how statistics show that increased access to contraceptives lowers the abortion rate. I'm pro-abortion the same way I'm pro-appendectomy […] More
Catholic priests in Poland have burned books that they say are “sacrilegious”, including books from the Harry Potter series. According to the BBC, an evangelical group called “SMS from Heaven Foundation” (yes, that is their actual name) posted on their Facebook page, showing a pile of books in a fire pit, and then the books […] More
The Christian activist group ‘One Million Moms’ who, as of this writing have 3,649 followers on Twitter, are taking the makers of Kit Kat to task for their new ad because Missy Elliott reminds them of penises. In case you didn’t notice, I filed this one under the category ‘Previously Unsaid Sentences’ because this is […] More
As first reported by our friends over at Friendly Atheist, a Christian homeless shelter filed a lawsuit against the city of Anchorage, Alaska for the right to refuse services for trans people. Because nothing screams Christian Values™ more than judging someone on what genitals they were born with. Alliance Defending Freedom argues that the Hope […] More
Let me start this article by saying I’m sorry. I’m sorry for the state of my state. As of next month, I will have spent all 35 years of my life as a resident of Indiana. And while I live in the comparatively liberal city Indianapolis, if you drive 15 minutes in any direction, you’re in […] More
Forget your new year’s resolutions and live it up – A totally serious and completely real Biblical prophecy claims that the apocalypse will happen in December 2019, ending life as we know it on Earth once and for all. More specifically, on December 28th. FREAKING FINALLY. It’s about damn time. I’ve been getting pretty tired […] More
