Bad Arguments: If Man Came From Apes, Why Are There Still Apes?
I love this question. I see it a lot from creationists. To them, it’s the ace up their sleeve or the 8 ball in the corner pocket. They expect that someone who understands evolution will see that question, and think, “Wow. I never thought of that. Evolution must be wrong.” When in reality, the smart person just shakes their head and laughs.

Why I Openly and Adamantly Attack Religion
I have kind of talked about this before. Religious persecution. What a silly concept. I recently watched a YouTube video. It talked about how atheists attacking religion is “offensive”.

Minirant: My Genius or Idiotic Idea About Police
Have you ever seen cops just chilling waiting for something to do? Or maybe you’ve seen them driving around aimlessly? Seems like a waste of our tax money. I’ve got a solution: Taxicops.

Selective Bible Belief
One of the worst parts about discussing theism with theists is the picking and choosing. Any time I point out a scripture that proves their ideas wrong, they argue that its the Old Testament so it doesn’t count, or that it is just a metaphor, and not literal.

Columbus Day
I think it’s quite disturbing that we celebrate Columbus Day. I mean, first of all, Columbus wasn’t the first European to find the New World. That was Leif Erickson 500 years earlier. But that’s not really the point. The point is that Christopher Columbus killed almost as many people as Adolf Hitler.

My Car Crash Story
Simply put, tonight is the 10 year anniversary of my car accident. I see it as one of the best things to ever happen to me. At the time, I was living in a small mountain town called Mariposa, CA. It is a famous gold rush town and the old Mariposa County took up most of California. The people who live there are hard working Republican types. God, guns, gays. I hated it. Sadly, I was stuck. I was 18, had no money, and what money I did have went to my car bills. I was working as a Front Desk Agent at a fairly large resort style hotel just…

Noah’s Ark (and the “literal interpretation” of the bible)
Ah, Noah’s Ark. Most people remember this story from childhood. God decided that human kind was so evil, that they needed to be wiped out. He would save Noah and his family, as well as the animals, to repopulate the earth. We all have the mental image of a box shaped ship with giraffe heads poking out the top. There are two schools of thought about this story. One, and most logical, is that it’s nothing more than a story. Like Mother Goose, it’s here to teach us some moral concept. The other, and flat out idiotic school of thought, is that it, and everything else in the bible is…

The Positives of Religion
For the sake of challenging myself, both as a writer and as a complainer, I thought it would be interesting to discuss the positive traits of religion. I’ll try to talk about the good religion has done, instead of ridicule it like I normally do. Now, keep in mind, religion is still asinine, but today, I’ll try to limit my objections and focus on the positives.

My Love of Learning
I recently ranted about people who don’t do their own research and expect others to do the work for them. While I still stand by my initial conclusions, I have realized the main cause for this problem. People don’t like to learn anymore. Now keep in mind, “learning” and “school” are not the same thing. Learning is the gaining of new knowledge. School is the location at which some people learn. I’ve always hated school. I love learning. This is my point. People have associated learning with school. Perhaps this is deserved, but they associate learning with the negative side of school. The hard word. The practice. The bullies. The…

The Criminality of Homeschooling
I was the victim of homeschooling from 6th grade on. Which means I just got a taste of what it’s like to have friends and then was ripped away. Some people know this, but I haven’t really gotten into it on this site. I think I made one comment about it being illegal in my Christopia, but I didn’t delve into my opinion on the topic. So let’s do that now, shall we?
