Creationism: An Insult to the Collective of Human Intelligence

Creationism and it’s kissing cousins “Creation Science” and “Intelligent Design” are not science, nor are they intelligent.  They are departments of fundamental apologetics. The sole purpose of Creationism is to defend the biblical book of Genesis . . . Creationism has been scientifically disproved and any vestiges of science that remained have been discredited due to the inclusion of magic or magical events, which are untestable.

10 Myths Many Religious People Hold About Atheists, Debunked

In a regular poll conducted by political scientists Robert Putnam and David Campbell on American political attitudes, atheists recently lost their spot as as the most disliked group in America to the Tea Party. Still, number two is simply way too high in the unpopularity rankings for a group of people who just happen to spend Sunday mornings in bed instead of in church. Read more . . . 

Christopher Hitchens, A Man of His Words

He is our intellectual omnivore, exhilarating and infuriating, if not in equal parts at least with equal wit . . . he is dying of esophageal cancer, a fact he has faced with exceptional aplomb. This fifth and, one fears, possibly last collection of his essays is a reminder of all that will be missed when the cancer is finished with him . . . He regards God as a superstition employed by religions for the purpose of control and repression . . . Hitchens finds much to love about America, but on the evidence of this collection, he seems to find it mostly in books . . . At a time when America is experiencing a resurgent campaign to proclaim us a “Judeo-Christian nation,” Hitchens delights in the plentiful evidence that the founders were not all that religious and certainly not interested in creating a sectarian country.

Quote: Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Eric Hitchens (born 13 April 1949)
English-American, Journalist, Author, Essayist,
Polemicist, and Outspoken Anti-theist

Mockery of religion is one of the most essential things because to demystify supposedly ‘holy text dictated by god’ and show that they are man-made and what you have to show is their internal inconsistencies and absurdities. One of the beginnings of human emancipation is the ability to laugh at authority . . . it is an indispensable thing people can call it blasphemy if they like, but if they call it that they have to assume there is something to be blasphemed – some divine work, well I don’t accept the premise.

Mad Pastor’s Facebook presence vanishes after he proposes a register for atheists

I mean, think about it. There are already National Registrys (sic) for convicted sex offenders, ex-convicts, terrorist cells, hate groups like the KKK, skinheads, radical Islamists, etc . . . Now, many (especially the atheists), may ask “Why do this, what’s the purpose ?” Duhhh, Mr Atheist, for the same purpose many States put the names and photos of convicted sex offenders and other ex-felons on the I-Net – to INFORM the public!

Believers: Held Captive By Fear, Guilt And Biblical Indoctrination

 . . . any religion that requires the acceptance of its ideas on faith alone is admitting that its doctrines cannot stand on their own merits, nor withstand any critical examination. The belief in a god is irrational, as are those who believe . . .  willful ignorance is at the core of a faith that is contrary to the development of knowledge through reason and rationality.  It clearly teaches people not to trust in reason, and to only accept – without question – the dogmas of the church . . .  For the Atheist, evil can best be described as the abandonment of our minds to the minds of others.  We reason that the ability and willingness to stand alone, even when it is unpopular, and tell the majority that they are wrong is the pinnacle of virtue.
