Lest we forget

This is also a big loss for the Christian God as one of His more fervent supporters put it thusly:

Muslim McCain Fans Confront Intolerance At Rally

There may be hope for humanity to overcome extremism.

Sarah Palin Song! (I Picked a Girl!) BBK#3

The song starts around 1:30, pretty good.

Gook: John McCain's Racism and Why It Matters

Amazing, well done video but it shouldn't even need to be explained like this.

Libertyville Abortion Demonstration

Who are these people? Really, do they only have one brain cell?

Sarah Palin, Thomas Muthee and witchcraft

I hope the Salem witch trials got rid of all witches in the US if Sarah becomes the VP

Seona Dancing

Ricky Gervais REALLY was in a band in the '80 !!!

Gay Scientists Isolate Christian Gene

Finally!

I have to go back to Nantes

Les Machines de L'île 

PZ would probably get a kick of this one ... 

Calamar geant

Settlements Reached in Chicago Clergy Abuse Case

I think Hitchens once said something like:

It is not the abuse itself that shows the failing of religion but that a life devoted to religion does not stop the abuse.

Also this article, it boggles the mind that even with the apparent need for such measures people still think their churches are morally superior.
Definitely have a look at the second comment by Sister Maureen Paul Turlish:
Should priests give kids piggyback rides?

GOD Versus LESBIANS

Hell yeah, I might have to get some approval from my non lesbian wife, but if I say that it is for science I don't see how she can object to me participating in that experiment ...

Never thought I would be spending my saturdays like this

Watching endless Pingu clips on Youtube ...

I Met The Walrus

What a 14 year old!
I'm not much for putting people on a pedestal but John Lennon is on one in my view.

Devendra Banhart - Carmensita

Is that really Natalie Portman? Really?
Of course PZ loved the ending ...
Catchy tune anyway.

Top Gear

I taped (is that still valid when it's a HDD recorder?) Sunday's start of the new series and watched it yesterday.
I was on the floor, literally laughing out loud!
It is even better because I used to have a Suzuki Vitara and a friend of mine has a Fiat Coupé. (that comment by Hammond, "until it breaks" is priceless!)

A poor man left a comment on my previous post

He who must not be named (because of attention whore (nsfw) syndrome, will henceforth be called by his initials d.m. ) left a completely non relevant comment to my post on resolution 1464.
His gripe is with the JREF Challenge, in his comment d.m. claims to have personally stopped the challenge, what's really puzzling is that the JREF Challenge IS STILL ON until April 2010 (so still almost 2 years to go!)
Plus James Randi has not hinted at what will be done after 2010, the challenge may continue in another form, it may become more public (I hope) ...
From the comment it is obvious that d.m. is probably a teenager who is not very well off and is nearing the end of high school and he does not like the prospect of having to work for a living so he probably thought that he'd be able to win some money without doing anything and now is throwing a hissy fit, I suggest he gets a real job.

What's strange is that on a forum he links to he has posted this excellent video, just goes to show that the deluded only see what they want to see:


(oh, and I'm not going to allow his comment, I'm very liberal with comments and they do not even have to be really relevant but I'm not gonna allow rants!)

J.C.V.D.

Gotta see this film



Here's an oldie:

John Safran: The Pope vs the Dalai Lama

Dieu

Pas mal :-)

Holy warriors in the US armed forces

While I feel rather secure about the religious freedoms here in Belgium and Europe I am becoming anxious about the things in this video and the crap happening in Holland (just recently the ARREST of a cartoonist!).
Those religious nuts seem to be setting up a war that will be unavoidable because all the brainless "regular" religious people do not think about it and give religion a free pass, where are all those "non violent moderate" voices???
