Do you remember the challenge that Christopher Hitchens apparently mentions in his new book Portable Atheist (which I haven’t yet read) and put to theists everywhere while touring with God Is Not Great? I’ll remind you:
Name me an ethical statement made or an action performed by a believer that could not have been made [...]

I was in the pub yesterday, and was made aware that catholic wingnut-in-chief Ratzinger had been bad-mouthing science and atheism by playing the old Marxism=teh evul! card and playing up christianity because it offers “hope”. Earlier today, I saw a few posts on blogs (The Freethinker, Atheist Ethicist - highly recommended) and articles in [...]

As reported by Reuters in this Yahoo! News article, the hearing for the privately brought blasphemy case against the BBC for its screening of Jerry Springer: The Opera has wound-up, with a ruling expected at a later date.

Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Reality and Love Biblically-Justified Genocide.
Christian CADRE (Colligation of Apologetics Debate Research & Evangelism) (sic) show us that old fashioned good-time fire and brimstone love of their old testament god:

We want politics based on reality, but let’s assume for a [...]

Over at his hive of stupidity, bigotry and intolerance, Uncommon Descent, William Dembski is making more ridiculous noises, this time about the fact that we have the etched image of Charles Darwin on the £10 Bank of England note.
His idea is that Darwin dissenters, when offered one of these notes, should ask for two five [...]

From the Letters page of The Independent on 22nd December:
Sir: This Christian is left amused and astonished that Johann Hari (Opinion, 21 December) can be so theologically ignorant.
Christianity anti-materialistic? On the contrary, as William Temple observed, it is the most materialistic of all religions, celebrating not only the physical world from quarks to quasars, but [...]

In the most recent of The Times Higher Education Supplement, an article by Rowan Williams, the Archibishop of Canterbury, entitled It is not a crime to hold traditional values argues that the recent arguments over Christian Union (CU) organisations within various universities should be able to associate freely, and should look at their attitudes and [...]

In today’s The Independent on Sunday, there’s an editorial by Giles Fraser, lecturer in Philosophy at Wadham College, Oxford, where he calls for a new sort of conversation about religion. I for one would welcome it, although his analysis isn’t completely in agreement with the reasons that atheists, especially the vocal ones like Richard [...]

Coulter’s own argument, when being interviewed by Matt Lauer in refutation of her own obnoxious standpoint. The names have been changed to neglect the ignorant.
