The catholics must get really confused when a new infallible leader contradicts what the previous infallible leader said beforehand. No wonder they feel so guilty.

Thankfully, I don’t get tagged for memes very often, but seeing as AV tagged me for a musical one (in this case, for Rage — an Australian radio station as far as I can tell), I thought I’d contribute.
My twenty songs, in alphabetical order:
Adrenaline by Rosetta Stone
Assimilate by Skinny Puppy
Catch by Kosheen
Celebration by Children On [...]

On one of today’s posts, I received a comment from someone that I’ve never heard of before. While this wouldn’t normally be a problem, the tone of the comment, and the fact that it failed to address any point of the post itself, led me to investigate the poster a little more.
When I visited [...]

Yesterday, Bruce Anderson, one of The Independent’s regular contributors, opined that [e]ven non-believers must recognise the moral necessity of Christianity
The era of the Crusades is over. But in our dealings with Islam, it would help us if we had more confidence in our own values and traditions. In order for that to occur, as many [...]

Primordial Soup looks like a fun simulation game, especially for giving kids an introduction to the basic principles of evolution (PDF) and how to coöperate and think critically (DOC).

You can read a review of Primordial Soup over at RPG.net and another review at GamerDad.
It’s times like this when I wish I had kids, although I’ve [...]

Oh, this is just too precious not to share.
Over at Desiring God, there’s an excerpt from an audio sermon from a certain John Piper about “why porn shops don’t have windows”.
Desiring God opens with:
The obvious answer is so you can’t see in. But is there more to it than that?
and then goes on to point [...]

MP4 videos (~80-90 minutes each):

While browsing Agnostic Atheism this evening, I came across this post with a spoof video of The 10 Commandments (the Charlton Heston/Yul Brynner one) depicted as a typical American high-school romp. You should watch it, it’s quite amusing.
Anyway, attached to this post, some fool has posted a comment to this “offer” of $10,000 to [...]

UPDATE: Now updated for Summer 2007, with added dogma!
I’m sorry. Sorry to my fellow atheists, agnostics, freethinkers and other non-believers, I’m afraid I can’t do it any more. And I’m sorry to the believers out there, for deceiving you.
I admit that I’m a fundamentalist. I admit that I’m dogmatic.
To assuage my boundless [...]

If one reads the four ‘gospels’ of the christian bible, one comes up against the seemingly contradictory last words of Jesus on the cross (or tree if you mistakenly want to believe some reports).

Of course, these can be reconciled, as demonstrated by the wonderfully lucid mind of J P Holding (AKA “Robert Turkel”):
Matt. 27:46,50 (see [...]

I’ve noticed something strange coming from the mouths of theists, especially those of a christian bent, recently.
Whenever there appears to be something that they take exception to, because it either ridicules their religion, or just represents a facet of it that they just don’t want to talk about, or otherwise has some connection with their [...]
