Why Do You Celebrate Christmas?

It’s that time of year again and like a lot of atheists out there it’s time for us to hear people asking, “why do you celebrate Christmas?” This is often a part of the discussion regarding nativity scenes and overt displays of religion on government owned property and government buildings, but that is not always the case.  Often it’s just a query from a confused Christian or religious person wondering why we celebrate “their holiday”.  Let’s set the record straight right here and now.

It's The Last Monday Ever.... Until The Next Time

Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that this Friday is supposed to be the end of the world according to internet nut jobs, conspiracy theory whackos and other brands of lunatics everywhere.  The Mayan calendar, or at least one version and one interpretation of it, runs out on the 21st and the crazies are convinced that this means the end of the world.  Yeah right, bozo.

The stupidity just keeps flowing

In the wake of Fridays' mass killing at an elementary school in Connecticut, the stupidity from gun rights advocates just keeps flowing from their ever gaping pie holes.  In the most recent display of moronic ignorance a legislator from Texas has suggested that arming teachers with assault rifles would have solved the problem before it started.  What a moron!

Note to religious people....

Shut the fuck up!

You just knew it would happen the moment you heard about the school shooting.  The religious would be coming out of the woodwork declaring that either this was god punishing us for not letting him in schools or god didn’t act because he’s not allowed in schools.  The only question was how long would it take.  Unfortunately, it took almost no time at all.

One Week, Two Shootings, When Is This Bullshit Going To Stop?

Today’s rant has nothing to do with religion.  I take that back, it does have to do with a religion of sort, the type that people replace normal religions with.  This is the type that doesn't require belief in some imaginary being, but instead turns ideals or even the absurd into an almost religious zeal. 

Religious Freedom - It's An Illusion

We all like to talk about religious freedom and the guarantees that the constitution gives Americans in this respect.  The truth is that for most, freedom of religion is not a reality and is in all truthfulness nothing more than an illusion.

You Are Obviously Confused.

Ever since the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) came into being, there have been a lot of objections to the law.  Some have a modicum of merit while others are just outright absurdly idiotic.  The worst of them are the so-called religious objections to the law which revolve around women’s healthcare.  These objections show a truly monumental ignorance of what religious freedom really means.  Let’s clear up that confusion right now.
