Can He?

Great News Everyone! Apparently God can do anything! I never knew.

And here I was thinking that God was powerless to prevent

• natural disasters
• cruelty
• suffering
• war
• aids
• poverty
• Pandemics
• strife
• famine
• disease
• douchebags
• headaches

etc. But I guess I was wrong this whole time. Thake THAT, Epicurus!

Then again, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is similarly capable of the same things. So it seems that the FSM is the one true god. Praise His noodly appendage!

O'Reilly Meme

Daily process for Bill O'Reilly: Step One, Open mouth. Step Two, Insert Foot.

It seems that O'really? has recently completely failed at a basic science question that your average fifth grader could explain, and in doing so has been made into a meme. The twist was that this question was concerning god's role in creating the moon.

O'Reilly's fallacious argument for justification for his belief in god: "The tide comes in, the tide goes out. Never a miscommunication. YOU [Dave Silverman, President of American Atheists] can't explain that."

Well due to the unfortunate fact that almost everybody who graduated kindergarten could, in fact, explain that, O'Reilly's stupidity has caused him to be made into an advice-dog style meme, with his face and text superimposed over a colorful background.

O'Reilly deserves all the dishonor he receives and then some for his use of a childlike infinite regressive fallacy. I therefore choose to share with you every picture I have saved ridiculing this disgrace to American society.

Yes it was a relatively long post, but I can't help but feel that this man's shame is worth it.

Good Stuff

This has almost nothing to do with atheism, but here's a cool fanvid of House put to the music "Baba O'Reilly" by The Who

In other news, the Atheist Burka was unveiled (pun intended) today:

The Supreme Arrogance

The irony of St. Valentines

St. Valentine was renowned for performing illegal christian marriages at a time when the church forbade them. The irony of this is that modern christians celebrate the man's name while actively working against allowing people to get married.

Was Valentine destroying the sanctity of marriage in his time? Will we one day have a saint who performed gay marriages in this time period? I suppose we'll just have to wait and find out.

In the meantime, Happy V-tine's day to all my followers.

What's the Harm?

For anyone and everyone who has wondered why anti-theists are so outspoken, there's

http://whatstheharm.net

Or, for a sadder experience, there's the children of whatstheharm:

http://whatstheharm.net/children.html

The site features such horrendous stories as that of 9-month-old Allyson Bergmann of Indiana

Allyson contracted bacterial meningitis which is medically treatable. Her parents belong to Faith Assembly, which rejects medical care in favor of prayer. Allyson's disease went untreated by anything other than prayer until she died. Her parents were convicted of reckless homicide.

Unfortunately, Allyson's case represents the norm rather than the extreme of the stories on whatstheharm. It just goes to show how much harm is done when people and society are incapable of critical thinking. And people claim that it is the atheists who are the ones without morals.

Lord Save us from your Followers

Busy today so I don't have time to come up with original content. I promise I'll get around to it as soon as I'm able. In the meantime, enjoy this very informative video about the scary reality of evangelicals in society.

Now for all you un-American commie foreigners (haha), there's "The God Who Wasn't There" by director Brian Flemming. The movie explores the religious and the possibility that none of what they say is true.
