Sorry again that I’ve been so silent — gigantic things are afoot in my life at the moment and it’s all I can do to keep myself from being plowed under. I’ll tell you all about ‘em as soon as I can. Pat Robertson has some helpful advice for those of you who have to …

Rick Scarborough: “Calling Sodomites ‘gay’ is an abuse of the language”
Sodomy is a pejorative term for the act of putting your penis into someone’s anus. It was so named by religious Christians after the Bible story of the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah. You’ll remember this is the town where Lot protected some visiting (male) angels from a roaming (male) rape gang by offering them …

Harper government gives money to anti-gay religious group working in Uganda
Via reader Jeffrey P, seems the Government of Canada has provided over five hundred thousand dollars to a rabidly anti-gay religious group, Crossroads Christian Communications, to “help dig wells, build latrines and promote hygiene awareness in Uganda through 2014.” Given John Baird’s spoken out against the plans for a death penalty for homosexuality in that …

Swanson and Buehner, Conservative radio hosts, ably tear apart strawfeminism
It really is something like watching a circle jerk, honestly. I feel dirty and unsatisfied and like I was denied what I actually paid the price of admission for, in having watched these two construct then tear apart a systematic listing of every trope on the Straw Feminism tvtropes page. I feel ashamed that these …

Help send me to Women In Secularism? *GOAL REACHED!*
Update: Made it! Any further donations will go to helping someone else get there, likely through the Surly Grants program. Cheers! I hate fundraising for things other than charities.

Robertson: Marriages are ruined by ‘hard-nosed’ and ‘slatternly’ women
Guy starts playing more video games and paying less attention to his wife. Son worries about his parents, writes to Pat Robertson for advice. Pat, naturally, blames the wife. “Pat, how are you gonna blame the mother?” “Easy!” Yeah, when your worldview is that the man is the head of the household and can do …

The Petition to Ask Freethought Blogs and Skepchick to “Return to Critical Thinking”
I’m not going to pretend that this petition by Rocko 2246 from Australia is going to succeed, but it merits discussion at least. In fact, unless we have a crowdsourced effort by people at this blog and others on “our side” of the great rift, I seriously doubt they could get 100 unique signatures per …

The Rise And Fall of God: a 90s compilation
Everything Is Terrible has cobbled together a compilation of their best religion-related found footage. They’re calling it The Rise And Fall of God. Here’s the first ten minutes of what’s probably going to be a multi-part series (you know, judging by the Part 1 in the title). I’m proud to say I watched the first …
