Poll: 43 percent of people think Tebow’s success... →
friendlyatheist:
Or 43% of people interviewed on this matter are retarded, especially 54% of republicans.
I can’t get over this. I think most of the players (coaches, workers, fans) in the NFL are religious and pray every week. But, we see at least 50% of the teams losing each week.
If it was divine intervention, why wouldn’t god just make Tebow a good football player? I mean, I...

Mayans right about world ending in 2012.
Just like they were right about the world being created a few thousand years ago by the land rising from the (already existing) deep, dark waters in the form of a gigantic turtle. They also knew that the Sun and Moon originated from the two sons of the god of corn after they defeated the lords of death in the underworld in a ball game.
How did they figure it all out?

That’s funny, because the people who benefit most from welfare programs are white people.

In other news, I’m going to start filing complaints to companies who advertise on TV shows who don’t show all their Christian characters to be close minded, science denying, gay hating, bigots.

Christopher Hitchens
I had, queued for myself tonight, the Hitchens/Craig debate that I searched for this morning after seeing an ad for the DVD. Little did I know I would discover he had died before (re)watching it. In addition to that I’ve been listening to god is not Great on my iPod for the past week or so, this one for maybe the fifth time! I think I’ve seen almost all of his full videos on youtube;...

THE RAPE OF THE SAMBURU WOMEN For more than fifty years, England has maintained military training facilities in the Samburu region of its former colony, Kenya.
During this period, women in the area have faced an epidemic of rape. Women from the Samburu, Massai, Rendile and Turkana indigenous communities have filed more than 600 official rape claims...

mohandasgandhi:
It is a deep thing that people still celebrate the survival of the early colonists at Plymouth — by giving thanks to the Christian god who supposedly protected and championed the European invasion. The real meaning of all that, then and now, needs to be continually excavated. The myths and lies that surround the past are constantly draped over the horrors and tortures of our...

For whatever reason, you don’t agree with the Occupy Wall Street protests, and that’s fine, you have a right not to, I may not agree with your reasons why, but that’s not what this is about.

In the U.S., Frozen Planet is being aired by Discovery. They were involved in the joint-production of the series. Yet they are still refusing to accommodate Frozen Planet in its entirety.
You’re a joke, Discovery. Science isn’t up to utilitarian referendum. The climate deniers of the United States will never come around unless they’re able to be educated and we’re quickly...

Jon Stewart took to The Daily Show last night (11/10/11) to talk about the Penn State child sexual abuse scandal, and gave a serious commentary about how people knew of Sandusky’s abuse and didn’t do anything, as well as the recent student rioting over the firing of coach Joe Paterno.
Fuckin’ right, Jon. My respect for you grows every single day.
FYI, I’ve seen nothing...
