We shouldn’t reason with the Religious Right.

Drew McCoy a.k.a. Genetically-Modified Skeptic is correct that the way we have engaged with religion and the Religious Right in particular, has not been effective in getting people that least re-think religion.

For one thing, we need Science Influencers and Educators who aren’t squeamish a…[Read more]

I meant “Orifrice” not “Office,” though Trump’s Oval Office could also be full of very full orifices.

I wonder if all this talk brought out our latest member updating a profile? Hmmm…Perhaps I should keep my orifice shut on orifices and see what happens. For the record, I’m not interested in a trip all the way to Manila.

Fellow Unbelievers:

Some great news in the midst of an otherwise insane world: Bobby Brainworm’s Danish allies’ attempt to discredit the Hepatitis B vaccine with a Tuskeegee-type placebo clinical Trial has been closed down by Guinea-Bissau health authorities…for now at least:

Cops raid office of RFK Jr. allies planning “unethical” vac…[Read more]

Pew Research: Reports of God’s Resurrection have been greatly exaggerated

I don’t know what to make of any of these polls.

One example: Every month The Drudge Report links an article about Trump’s polls, it has him at a consistent 30 Percent approval, even through his latest tariffs, his latest “enrichment” scheme, his latest breach of t…[Read more]

Is Nicki Minaj’s ass going to be the next speaker of alternative facts? Maybe I misheard…..

It will be whenever it distracts Trump from his sausage fest…But of course, it’s not polite to speak when one’s office is full.

Kentucky man becomes the first humanist granted religious exemption from AI.

Doesn’t this just continue Religion Privilege but merely expand Religion to include any pursuit that involves “being a moral actor,”. like maybe “I believe I’ll have another drink?”

Shouldn’t a Humanist position on AI be that it’s use should further human…[Read more]

Wow! Jesus-facing with a glam get-up and an all-male entourage! I bet The Nekkid Orange Emperor Nero–er–Trump would give them guys a gandering glance if they cruised around his golf course in Ireland!

Fellow Unbelievers:

Anybody else here ever see someone playing Jesus on Halloween? Or have you ever played Jesus on Halloween?

Well I saw it myself. A black guy in dredlocks with a stuffed plush crown of thorns, the red sash and a bone white colored robe.

He passed through the store too quickly. I was going to ask him: “Hey, JC! What it…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Today at the store, one of our regular customers known for evangelizing and rhapsodizing Trump and MAGA came in and decided to check out in my line.

After I rang up his order and gave him his change, I reminded him that if he has any large checks coming his way, we couldn’t cash them at the registers, but the bank located in…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

The jist of this post below from Bobby Brainworm is true, but as George Zimmer of Men’s Warehouse would put it, I guaran-damn-tee it that Bobby Brainworm didn’t write this post:

He had a better mind do it for him, to make up for his tripping over his own tongue about…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

Oh, and Extinction Rebellion makes it official. Wonder how much fossil fuel it took to make a giant nylon Palestinian Flag, then travel to Paris to fly it?:

Fellow Unbelievers:

So I guess the slogan has changed to:
“From the Riviera to The North Sea,
France will be Zionist and Jew Free!”

…And the students still couldn’t tell you the locations!

Fellow Unbelievers:

This guy gets it! And he heckled Trump and MAGA from within their lair in such a way that he didn’t disrupt anything and get forcibly expelled! He also most likely played upon the FOX News-caster’s stereotypes of what MAGA members look like! Sheer Genius!

Jake:

I just finished the video interview with Louis Sarkozy by Zoe Sankery. A great summary of French history and of the shambolique status of present French society from Louis. Zoe’s also quite the Shelia as the Aussies would put it!

Pol Pot’s studies in France before taking over Cambodia clearly informed Pol Pot’s declaration that his…[Read more]

Curious enough to watch from across the drink, but not enough to go there, nor Italy, Spain, Germany, or Greece.

I love my air conditioner and hygiene and unburned stores and cars too much. Though how long before Europe’s urban strife comes to our streets is another story.

What started as student protests has expanded to sector strikes,…[Read more]

Jake:

Enco,

Anyone who remembers ALL of Trump’s transgression is either obssessed and gets reinforcement and lots of that or has an eidetic memory.

It is almost daily…at a minimum weekly…that is a lot of shite to recall…

You’re right that it is a lot to take in, though, fortunately not all eidetic, because not all images are good to retain.…[Read more]

Jake:

Who among us can cite the seemingly endless litany of fucked up shit committed by Trump?

<//blockquote>

To answer a question with a question, who can not cite his endless litany of fucked up shit if they have any situational awareness and a regular news feed?

I was not aware of those specific allegations relative to Epstein but in…

Jake:

Enco,

It is reckless and negligent or deliberate and sadistic to bring a human into this abomination known as civilization on planet earth.

I am manically ambivalent about both Antinatalist Pessimism and Transhumanist Techno-Optimism.

I love and adore every little one that is here already and have nothing but kind words and deeds for…[Read more]
