“Science hasn’t proven anything!”

“[Children] are so useable in Christianity.” — Becky Fisher, Jesus Camp What a bitch! You know, I had watched Jesus Camp before, but I cannot remember being so appalled (appalled I say!) by these evangelics. Believe me, I am this time. Perhaps I missed all the ridiculous claims they made the first time ’round, but [...]

Religion ridicules itself

Filed under Religion on December 4th, 2008

Whenever I’m discussing religion, it is not my intention to ridicule the beliefs of people who consider God to be a supreme being of unchallenged power; who see the Bible as the true representation of this being on this earth — an earth which was created by the same supreme being mentioned before, according to [...]
