- We had our 1000th post this week!
- Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Muslim Rage & The Last Gasp of Islamic Hate “For a homicidal few in the Muslim world, life itself has less value than religious icons, such as the prophet or the Quran. These few are indifferent to the particular motives or arguments behind any perceived insult to their faith. They do not care about an individual’s political alignment, gender, religion, or occupation. They do not care whether the provocation comes from serious literature or a stupid movie. All that matters is the intolerable nature of the insult.”
- Sam Harris: On the Freedom to Offend an Imaginary God “The freedom to think out loud on certain topics, without fear of being hounded into hiding or killed, has already been lost. And the only forces on earth that can recover it are strong, secular governments that will face down charges of blasphemy with scorn. No apologies necessary.”
- Guest Post: Islamophobia vs. Racism
- Scientists use genetics and climate reconstructions to track the global spread of modern humans out of Africa
- NASA Starts Work on Real Life Star Trek Warp Drive I realize it’s a long shot and way off if at all, but....FUCK YES!
- Star Wars Help Solve The Republican Angry White Man Deficit
- Feathered Dinosaurs Drive Creationists Crazy Hmmm. To forward this to a co-worker or not to...that is the question.
- Rick Perry: 'Christian Warriors' must use 'Spiritual Warfare' against 'Satanic' Separation of Church and State It’s one dominionist buzzword after another.
- Now That My Campaign Is Over, I'd Like To Talk To You All About The Church Of Latter-Day Saints
- Language is simpler than previously thought
- Faith healer parents avoid jail after son, 16, dies in horrible pain after they tried to 'pray away' his burst appendix They should be locked up. This level of stupidity resulted in the death of a minor in their care via negligence. The religious freedom of an individual ends at the safety of others.
- Jesus Had a Wife? Prompts a Random Quote of Irony
- Wikipedia gets overdue makeover to give recognition to science's female pioneers
- What Do The Boy Scouts And The Catholic Church Have In Common? (Hint: They Both Suck)

- Malaysia holds seminars for spotting LGBT children “Attendance at an event on Sep. 12 reached 1,500. A spokeperson described it as a ‘multi-religious and multicultural’ event, saying, ‘After all, all religions are basically against that type of behavior.’” Unsurprising since most religions are swirling vortexes of hate, intolerance, and oppression.
