Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest”

There was a method to my madness in posting a Tim Minchin song as my Music Monday selection for each of the past few weeks during my “Atheist Advent” series. It was all to lead up to Minchin’s ultimate achievement and one of the best non-traditional Christmas songs I’ve ever heard – funny, insightful, wistful, […]

Every December, the stories about “The War on Christmas” pop up once again, like mole heads in a fair game – how various people in society – the politically correct, civil libertarians, atheists – are oppressing Christians by trying to neuter Christmas, make everyone say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”, and forego the holiday’s religious elements for commercial/secular ones (read […]

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 18 – Indoctrination Summarized in Three Short Lines

It’s been said that if there was a law making it illegal to introduce religion to a child, the same as our society does with other things children aren’t capable of handling such as alcohol, driving and gambling, religion would disappear within a single generation. I agree.

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 16 – Music Monday – “Which suggests that God’s omniscience/Is nullified by His ambivalence/Unless it turns out that He’s impotent/And if God can’t get a boner/I guess that explains the plethora/Of huge erections in His honour”

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 14 – How Tigers Got Their Stripes – Science vs. Religion

One of my big problems with religion is that it demonstrably makes people more gullible – about east Indian call centres telling you that your computer has a virus and psychics charging $0.99/minute and even the “official” word you hear on the evening news and in the daily newspaper.

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 11 – Pope Francis is Time’s Person of the Year (But Then Again, So Was Hitler)

Today’s big announcement that Pope Francis has been named Time’s Person of the Year is great timing, coming roughly halfway through my series of Atheist Advent posts. I was already thinking about doing a post about the new Pope and how, in light of yesterday’s post about the hypocrisy of many religious people (including religious […]
