» 1 year old hammered to death during exorcism
Saturday, December 6th, 2008
Fox News is running a story on two religious idiot who believed their 13 month old baby was possessed by demons and beat the girls head with a hammer in an attempt to exorcise the evil. Only after the child die did these low life think to call a priest (it seems they never considered calling a doctor), but before they could do that they needed to raise the cash - apparently priests don’t work for God, they work for money.
There is just so much wrong with this story I don’t know where to start. Religion is harmless? Yeah right - tell that to baby Amora.

» Stoned to death for being raped
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008
MSNBC has posted a story of a 13 year old girl who was stoned to death for adultery. While this act is completely barbaric in itself, the entire scenario reaches new heights of absurdity and depths of human depravity when we consider the nature of the adultery - she was raped by three men.
The horror of the situation was underlined when over 1,000 blood thirsty people packed a local stadium to witness the girls horrendous death.
In a country where 1 in 4 children die before they reach their 5th birthday you might have thought wise and compassionate Allah might wish to prevent the spread of death, ignorance, and superstition.
I feel sick.

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008
Police believe a toddler was starved to death by a religious cult because he refused to say “amen”. Members did not seek medical care when he stopped breathing, and the boy died in his mother’s arms.

» You just need faith!
Saturday, July 5th, 2008
I have discovered something peculiar about the theist mind, and I was guilty of this in the past. When all the arguments have been dismissed with clear rational reasoning the last resort of a believer is to declare “You have just got to have some faith!”. Obviously, I disagree.
First let’s define what we mean by faith. Faith is the belief in a notion or idea to spite any evidence to support it, or in some cases in complete contradiction to the evidence available. When a believer states “It’s all a matter of faith”, my usual retort is now “If it’s solely about faith, then why should I not have faith in Poseidon, Zeus, Baal, Xenu, Vishnu, Allah, or Wotan?” Typically this is meet with stoney silence.
But I am not here to make that point, I want to highlight another aspect to this poor argument. If it’s just a matter of faith, why do believers try SO HARD to conjure evidence to support their claims?
In America you have Christian Evangelical’s building “Creation Museums” detailing in extraordinary detail how science supports their particular version of creation. Of course, they completely ignore vast mountains of knowledge and research that disagrees with their prior assumptions about the universe and present twisted versions of what we do know in order to further their cause. Are the people who build these monuments to ignorance aware of what they are doing, or are they themselves victims of their religious delusions?
We have numerous authors publishing misleading propaganda on “the religion of atheism”, or “the evils of evolution” for no other apparent reason than these conflict with their deeply held core beliefs.
If all I need is “faith”, then why did Jesus exist at all (assuming he did for a moment). Why perform all these miracles? Why bother healing the sick, walking on water, feeding 5,000 people, curing blindness, and coming back to life if it’s all a matter of faith? Surely NOT to provide evidence he was the “son of god”, the Messiah, and the savour of all mankind?
Even god himself was required to show numerous “proofs” of his existence by creating everything, causing a global catastrophic flood killing everyone on earth, smiting cities with fire and brimstone to destroy the wicked, impregnating a virgin, lighting a star in the sky to guide three wise men to his place of birth, setting bushes alight, parting the seas, writing commandments in stone, and underlying the crucifixion with earthquakes, eclipses, and zombies.
If it was “just a matter of faith” you would not have need for the proofs contained in the bible. The stories of god’s wrath, or his supposed eternal love for us demonstrated via the act of killing himself to appease the curse he himself imposed (never mind the fact that this brilliant solution from the omniscient creator of the universe doesn’t work if you don’t “have faith”). Why do you need the bible if it all comes down to faith? Why hold up the bible as evidence of the existence of your god, because the book says it was divinely inspired. This you call proof while simultaneously claiming you do not need proof, for proof denies faith and without faith you can not be a “holy man”.
Don’t tell me is “just a matter of faith” when you try so desperately to provide evidence or rational arguments for the existence of your particular version of the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent creator.
Your retreat to the phrase “you just need some faith” is the last ditch attempt to convince your opponent to believe because of the lack of evidence, or to spite the evidence, or just to simply believe for the sake of believing.
Faith does not require evidence - that’s WHY we call it FAITH! So stop trying to provide any evidence or reasoning to support your claim. You are only undermining your position and making a fool of yourself.
