Thrawn has a challenge for us infidels: create a horribly drawn image of Islam’s prophet Mohammad, and display it in a public area. Yes, the Internet counts.
Here’s my entry:

It makes more sense than demon-haunted pigs…

Apparently it does, according to this magazine article over on the BBC.
Let’s see if this is true:

I’d like to see some muslim opinion on whether this doctored image could be considered amusing.

I’ve now settled on a new blog style (comments are welcome - I still need to customise it a bit to my own particular preferences) but during the update to Wordpress 2.3, the tagging (which I used in favour of categories) seems to have been majorly messed up, so it seems that I’m having to [...]

Please excuse the mess. I’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.3, and have taken this opportunity to come up with a new theme.
You’re welcome to stick around and watch it take shape, but for the moment, it’s going to look pretty bare-bones for a few days.

I’m not convinced by the scale of this graph, but it makes a valid point nonetheless.

Thanks Jesus followers!

Sexy Secularist! must have the funniest piss-take of Alister McGrath this year (and also a video of the Hitchens/McGrath “debate”).
Warning: may be sexy! I only have one complaint observation: no mention of a dutch oven.

Now he thinks he’s got a hotline to “Satan” too.
Someone really should medicate this man.

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:
Knowing full well that some atheist will accuse me of justifying genocide… they accuse Christians of being the ones [...]

On today’s BBC Radio 4 Sunday programme, christian “think tank” Theos complained about the NHS’s lessening support for chaplaincy in healthcare, although specifically from a religious angle.
Aside from the show’s usual confused conflation of “religion” and “ethics”, the question on the table was should public money should be used to fund NHS chaplaincy? It’s [...]

I was just watching the BBC News 24’s morning report on the Conservative party conference before I headed off for work, and what do I spy on the little graphical ticket at the foot of the tv screen?
[David] Cameron wants “politics based on belief”.
No. Nonono.

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

Mr Deity is a clever and hilarious look at what goes on behind the scenes of one of the worlds’ great (in the traditional sense) religions. I’m sure all but the most dogmatic and thin-skinned would be amused.

Atheist Ethicist has written an interesting and thoughtful article about the idea of faith hospitals.
I wonder if/when the UK government, to back up it’s proclivity to support faith-based institutions (as demonstrated in it’s increasing promotion of faith schools), will begin introducing the concept of faith hospitals. We’ll need something to replace the many hospitals [...]

Sam Harris has written a great article concerning 10 myths and 10 truths about atheism.
I only wish that the theists of the world would read it, and understand.
