London buses will soon be running an ad on the side that says “There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life.”
This is probably the best advice anyone can get, ever. See the article, here.
The British Humanist Association (BHA) is sponsoring the campaign, which was only intending to raised [...]

Religulous isn’t the boring Jay-Walking skit I feared it might be. It’s much better than that, and I wonder about the critics who say it wasn’t funny. I was laughing several times, as was most of the rest of the crowd, because of the absurdity of the subjects and because of the well-timed [...]

I just heard Bill Maher interviewed on Fresh Air on NPR today. He, along with director Larry Charles, talked about Religulous, the controversial documentary documentary lampooning religionists and their beliefs. (Check out the trailer here.)
What I want to know is, as a social group trying to be [...]

My friend Dave is an outspoken atheist and lived in Indy. He out this hilarious email last night to a bunch of friends, and gave me permission to share it with you:

That headline sounds sort of like a romantic comedy starring Hugh Grant and Cameron Diaz, doesn’t it?
Just today I ran across a couple things that really set me against Sarah Palin. I was never going to vote for her and John McCain, anyways, but for a long time I just thought she was an unwitting [...]

This one’s for Butter. It’s a clip of Richard Dawkins reading from his hate mail. It’s funny to listen to Dawkins, with his careful baritone British accent read these things that are written, well, like a silly creationist who just learned to type.

I was going to get work done this weekend; really, I was, but then PZ posted a clip from The Atheist Experience, an Austin public-access call-in show, and Waffles and I got hooked. I haven’t been that entertained by something on television in a long time. (The Pegasus arc in season two of BSG—maybe.) [...]

I buy used books a lot, and I’m usually a fussy buyer, trying to find copies that are in as pristine a condition as possible. I may have to rethink that policy, though, since I found out it can also be fun to browse through the annotations and scribblings left by previous owners. This weekend [...]
