I’m going to be in wedding mode for the next week. Work needs to be brought to a position where it can coast for the duration of my time off, and I’m going to be far too preoccupied with other stuff to blog regularly, so there’s a chance I won’t be able to post anything …

Jaime Kilstein on gay rights
It intersects heavily with the Religious Right’s fight against the “unnatural” gays, and naturally, his rant intersects heavily with the religions from which these anti-gay philosophies stem.

Science vs Psychosomatic Illness (Science vs Garlic Redux)
I am consistently amazed by how entrenched some people can get in their positions. I’ve had a “cell phones cause cancer” proponent posting on an older post about a local garlic farmer that impeded the erection of a radio tower because he had a gut feeling it would cause mutations. This troll points out they’ve …

A song about a serious problem
Now, please don’t make fun. It happens to a lot of guys. Not me, mind you. Hmm. Actually, that’s a good point. Because it doesn’t happen to me, I’m free, according to social convention, to make fun of them too. Therefore: Ahahahaha! Losers! Hat tip to @AtheistDoug for tweeting this yesterday.

“… so they should always listen to us coz WE’RE SMART!” WikiwikiWHAT!? Break it down! I was a pedantic dick to @dELYSEius on Twitter today, teasing her over her choice of words in a tweet immediately after she said she was going to find out the sex of her baby today (and not her baby’s …

Christian Video Games Part 2: Wisdom Tree’s roots
When I left off yesterday, I’d given you an overview of Wisdom Tree’s more horrible offerings. But of course, I’m not done yet — not while they still exist. And they do still exist, you know. And their idea of taking existing video game concepts and grafting Bible quizzes on them is now practically a …

Christian Video Games, part one: Noah’s Ark and Wisdom Tree
A few days ago, Dan J‘s wife @chaosagent23 tweeted thusly: I’m a gamer and I have to ask myself why? Why does this exist? http://bit.ly/6D7XPV #games #fundietarded #nonsense 8:57 PM Jan 25th from TweetDeck She was referring to Bible Navigator X — a downloadable X-Box Live “game” that you can purchase for 400 Microsoft Points …
