1. Charles Brooker's screen burn

Comment #62912 by Eureka Step on August 12, 2007 at 9:42 am

I love Charlie Brooker, especially his unapologetic cynicism on 'Screen Wipe'.

Brooker and Dawkins make a good team.

3. Ted Haggard Is Completely Heterosexual

Comment #40164 by Eureka Step on May 13, 2007 at 1:03 pm

Superbo!

I too will look out for recordings by this guy.

4. Fortune-telling no longer in the cards in Philly

Comment #39166 by Eureka Step on May 10, 2007 at 5:47 am

Take that you charlatans!

Suck on that you leeches!

"They never saw it coming" says it all.

Get Uranus out of here.

5. A Bunch of Monkeys

Comment #38284 by Eureka Step on May 7, 2007 at 12:18 pm

Forget intellectual tomes - this says it all.

Nice.

7. The torture of the grave Islam and the afterlife

Comment #38169 by Eureka Step on May 7, 2007 at 7:00 am

Yet again, can the live-and-let-live brigade please read this article, then tell me religion poses no threat.

8. God Exists. A Formula Proves it.

Comment #37700 by Eureka Step on May 5, 2007 at 1:36 pm

!!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Where was the equation??!?!?!?

Nutbag.

9. Science and fiction

Comment #37328 by Eureka Step on May 4, 2007 at 5:24 am

I can only echo Steve Jones' sentiments. If anything should be the same nationwide it should be education.

And why should creationism only be a concern if it threatens to become mainstream?!?!

Mr. Cameron and Mr. Blair you look like fools on this matter. This article has its finger on the pulse, politicians will only use science when it suits them.

12. Religion & Culture Panel

Comment #36441 by Eureka Step on May 1, 2007 at 6:30 am

A truly barnstorming performance from Hitchens!

As for his position being binary: Explain to me how religion is not the most binary of systems!?!

More moderate, lets-try-not-to-upset-anyone, so-called intellectual cultural relatavism.

As for the point about the Hubble Space Telescope, not only was it completely irrelevant, BaaronOchs, they all got it wrong. The HST suffered from its mirror having a minute "spherical abherration" which was fixed by adding another mirror to the existing one.

What is Karabell's point? That Hitchins, or anyone for that matter, cannot question religion, any of its practices or hypothetical gods because of human error in producing a mirror for an orbitting telescope!!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WTF!!!?!?

...and he looked so smug after saying it.

13. Interview with Christopher Hitchens

Comment #36402 by Eureka Step on May 1, 2007 at 3:48 am

I agree, Jolly Wally.

We're building an all star team here!

Not enough time dedicated to letting Hitchens get his point across or "sell" his book, but still...

Fear of the dark...check
Fear of death......check
Hatred of sex......check

You got yourself a religion.

14. Against All Gods, by A C Grayling

Comment #36069 by Eureka Step on April 30, 2007 at 5:34 am

I always suspected that the woman on the next street with all the gnomes in her garden had chosen the right religion. The reason all the bad stuff is happening in the world today is because we took the gnomes out of our schools.

This article has almost made me share Grayling's sense of optimism about this being the last throes of religion. It looks like it is a well written intellectualy cheeky taunting of religion. I need a copy!

15. Street Evangelist Saves 300 Souls From Enjoying Park

Comment #33820 by Eureka Step on April 22, 2007 at 2:25 am

Yes it's satire. Bloody good satire.

But the sentence "no book but the Good Book" pretty much sums up these loonies close mindedness and tunnel vision.

18. The Most Hated Family in America

Comment #29701 by Eureka Step on April 4, 2007 at 8:27 am

Phelps is such a loving, forgiving Christian.

What a misanthropic preacher of hate.

No matter how "fundamentalist" you can call our atheism, you can rest assured it can and will never be interpreted to preach such hateful nonsense.

19. Creationism debate continues to evolve

Comment #29696 by Eureka Step on April 4, 2007 at 7:46 am

"If religous people insist on invading secular science classes with relgious views then I see no reason why secular science cannot invade religious institutions and give their scientific views on religious topics."

Blam! Excellent point, I'll be raising that at every opportunity from now on.
