I highly recommend Young Freethought. The standard of writing may not be as high as that of the leading atheist blogs, but they're good. We should all do more to support this fledgling project of budding free thinkers.

Thanks for the link! Sometimes I worry that I'm turning into a demagogue, but if calling out evil is demagoguery, then at least I can be a demagogue for good or for awesome! That billboard has been around for a while. I suppose the latest salvo should be unsurprising, but... no, it gets me every time. "For the love of all that is good and holy, can't you just butt out of civilized life?" Argh.

Religionists are often, too often, barbarians at heart. When they lose the battle for minds, they resort to brickbats and cudgels, and war if necessary. And then there are the billion Muslims.

So, can we shove that billboard down the throats of the accommodationists the next time they open their mouths to tell us that we need to be more respectful of religious beliefs, or would that be too rude? ;-)

I believe they would consider this evidence that more respect for religious idiocy is necessary.

Symphony of Science is indeed awesome. "A morning filled with four-hundred billion suns" gives me goosebumps every time.

Excuse me while I go watch some Cosmos.

(Did I hear a didgeridoo in the first one?) Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm one of those apparently rare people that actually likes bagpipes.

She Who Chatters really summed it up for me. I can barely contain the rage I feel over this situation, especially on top of their undue influence in the healthcare reform debate over abortion.

No other organization or individual would be able to get away with this campaign of death and destruction, but, because they call themselves a religion, the Catholic Church can get away with trying to turn our nation into a theocracy that treats most persons as subhuman.

I'm so frustrated I don't know what to do. I think I have to come back to the US to campaign against the monsters in Congress who allowed this to happen.
