2. For the Love of Christ

Comment #101699 by TylerJames on December 20, 2007 at 7:19 pm

Could you imagine the furor of the religious if this were some atheist guy evangelizing with these tactics?

It would be seen as a horrific abuse of children by a coercive, overbearing, and intimidating adult.

But since it's Jesus that he's selling with such force it is tolerated and all the intimidation and coercion are forgotten. After all, this is religion we are talking about, where apparently the ends justify the means.

3. For the glory of God

@DavidJMH

What a ridiculous comment to make about Canada. Canada and the U.S. are eachother's largest trading partners and the majority of oil imported by the US is from Canada.

And if Canada is the 51st state then we're the only state not participating in the ridiculous Iraq war.

4. FFRF 07 Conference Footage

Oooh... From what I've read on Pharyngula about this conference Hitchens went absolutely looney and pissed everyone off with his anti-Islamic sentiments. I found that quite disappointing since I rather like listening to Hitchens speak.

Here's PZ Myers' take on things here:

Note: There's also some video from Hitchens' speech.

5. The Problem with Atheism

Everyone should check out the response by PZ Myers found here:

Edit:
I don't know why it's spacing my words like that.

And now it isn't....

6. Griffin's 'offensive' Emmy speech to be censored

Comment #69551 by TylerJames on September 11, 2007 at 5:15 pm

I can't find an actual email address for this league of extraordinary gentlemen. They conveniently don't provide one in the "Contact Us" section of the website.

What happens when freedom of religious expression and freedom of speech collide?

Well I'll tell you right n-------THE POWERS THAT BE HAVE DECIDED THAT REGARDLESS OF YOUR AGE YOU MOST CERTAINLY ARE NOT MATURE ENOUGH TO READ THE REST OF THIS COMMENT AND AS SUCH IT HAS BEEN REMOVED. PLEASE CARRY ON WITH THE REST OF YOUR LIFE (AS LONG AS YOUR LIFE IS IN PERFECT AGREEMENT WITH WHAT WE HAVE DECIDED IS ACCEPTABLE)------------

7. Griffin's 'offensive' Emmy speech to be censored

ZOMG!!! Get out the red card of censorship and make sure that this clip never sees the light of day! Take away our freedoms, load everyone up with Prozac, do anything but offend the delicate sensibilities of the American viewer!

Seriously, I lost all hope in television after the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" at the Superbowl a few years back. Somehow almost everyone got duped into actually thinking that it was a big deal. Public outcry, solemn apologies, an mass censorship ensued. Absolutely ridiculous.

I really wish someone would go up there an thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for their award, that guy just doesn't get enough credit. Then again, he's not as jealous as childish as Yahweh and Jesus, so I'm sure he's okay with it.

8. Artificial Life Likely in 3 to 10 Years

Comment #64371 by TylerJames on August 19, 2007 at 8:20 pm

I think the problem with your argument is in your initial assumption. I doubt very much that those in the scientific community would claim that this solves the mystery of how life originated.

But it certainly shows that non-living material can give rise to life given the right conditions and that it does not take the intervention of a god in order to accomplish this. Which I'm sure everyone will agree is a very exciting discovery indeed.

9. Interview with Richard Dawkins

@MarcCountry

Actually George (the host) is pretty well-known in Canada for being someone who doesn't smoke, drink, or do drugs... the guy doesn't even drink coffee.

But I'll admit, he did seem a bit.... skittish.
