Good bye Clark! You will be missed.

2. Two More Fleas

Comment #142399 by Mishakal on March 12, 2008 at 12:49 pm

The first question that our flea asks could be rewritten as: "Has anyone provided a proof of God's existence?"

The answer would be: Not even close.

3. How to abandon your God

Comment #139678 by Mishakal on March 6, 2008 at 11:41 am

These days people have more loyalty to their internet provider than they do to their "religion".

It's not shocking.

4. Lords Approve Abolition Of Blasphemy

Comment #139669 by Mishakal on March 6, 2008 at 11:36 am

Well it looks like the "Lords" of Great Britian are treating The God Delusion as if it was a holy book like the Bible or the Koran...

Interesting twist of events...

5. Ben Stein Bribing Schools to See His Anti-Evolution Movie 'Expelled'

Comment #112513 by Mishakal on January 17, 2008 at 12:14 pm

Just because Ben Stein is an expert in Economics does NOT give him the ability to assault the single most important foundation of Biological Science.

I've lost all respect for him!

6. 2007, a bad year for God squadders

Comment #102027 by Mishakal on December 21, 2007 at 12:25 pm

That God would choose to come among us in such a way is so strange, so inexplicable, so unbelievable, it compels us to believe.

This bit right here is a text book example of a word known as "Doublethink".

7. Turkey probes atheist's 'God' book

Comment #91391 by Mishakal on November 28, 2007 at 7:59 am

The turks couldn't of given TGD more free (and good!) publicity if they had held a mass burning in front of the Hagia Sophia.

I have a feeling the the investigation will fall apart due to the bad press since Turkey is desperate to join the EU.

8. The Flea Circus moves to your iPod!

Comment #76257 by Mishakal on October 5, 2007 at 8:45 am

For a group of people that are SO convinced that they are right that they are willing to blow themselves up they seem to be so oddly thin skinned when someone writes a SINGLE BOOK to discredit them.

The panic in the eyes of the rabid religious nuts speaks for itself about the quality of their beliefs.

9. The Problem with Atheism

Comment #76256 by Mishakal on October 5, 2007 at 8:42 am

If you don't like the term "Atheist" then use "Rationalist", "Bright", "Secularist", or "Humanist".

I currently use the term "Atheist" but I have heard some good arguments for the use of "Rationalist" and I have been considering using that one.

10. Norway flourishes as secular nation

Comment #76253 by Mishakal on October 5, 2007 at 8:37 am

[quote]The USA would have to shed two religions: Christianity and the belief in free-market capitalism if it's to follow Norway's example and climb up the rankings.[/quote]

The only part of this that I agree with is the first part.

Capitalism isn't a religion, it is the only economic system that has ever been created that works.

Feudalism doesn't work.
Socialism doesn't work.
and last but not least Communism REALLY doesn't work (and is a religion in it's own right).

It's a simple fact.

11. Angry atheists are hot authors

[quote]"It was just the time," she said, "for the atheists to take the gloves off."[/quote]

I like this line from the article.

12. Christopher Hitchens Explains It All for You: Move over, Sam Harris; another atheist wants the pulpit

Comment #41186 by Mishakal on May 15, 2007 at 3:31 pm

So instead of reason we should rely on "The Good Book" (which is nothing more than a collection of Jewish Myths and Roman Paganism). Thanks but I'll pass on the tales of magic in favor of something by Voltaire.

13. Television evangelist Falwell dies at 73

Comment #41181 by Mishakal on May 15, 2007 at 3:26 pm

Hooray! Now that Jerry Falwell is dead, all we have to do is wait for Pat Robertson to kick the bucket... Then we will have a good opportunity to bury Christianity forever!
