Assuming I don’t leave my cell phone at home I’ll be twittering the rally today. So, if you’re not already stalking me on Twitter now’s a good time to do it.
Now I have to go take care of things I should have taken care of last night but couldn’t…

Ahahahahahaha!

Expelled has put out a new press release for the DVD coming out in October…
The film’s numbers proved that freedom-loving Americans were outraged to discover that teachers and professors across the nation are teaching a theory as indisputable fact and that scientists who dissent from that theory are being silenced and ousted.
A theory? Oh [...]

Astrology and Babies

After noticing that the Hatching Eggs application on Facebook had added zodiac signs, I left a comment on the “Pisces” egg-thing saying that I was born on March 11, but despite being told that Pisces love to escape from reality I think that reality is a good place to be.

ATTENTION

I took schadenfreude out of something. Something unfortunate happened to somebody I didn’t like and I thought it was a good, pleasureable thing.
Then I realized that I shouldn’t take schadenfreude out of it because it would make me a hypocrite and I ceased the committing of the thoughtcrime.
Said person has a responsibility to the public [...]

Jesus Died For Your Thoughtcrimes

I started reading a website which had been in the Google ads of a local Atheist group…
1. God Loves You!
The Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life”
The problem is that…

You Can Stop Googling “Emma Watson Dawkins” Now

PZ Myers is Made of Win

So, after the Metro-State Atheists went through much stress and annoying bereaucracy stuff involving the student government, I got to see PZ Myers give an epic speech that was made of win!

After having heard the majority of my non-science teachers pussyfoot around having to say the “E word”, it was refreshing hearing somebody say that [...]
