Flowchart for choosing a religion

Happy Ash Wednesday!

In acknowledgement of Ash Wednesday, and to celebrate the recent announcement of the pope that he's resigning his position as the Vicar of Rome (I had no idea you could resign such a title) I thought I'd share with you a cute song written for the Pope by Tim Minchin.  Warning, this video is not safe to enjoy at work.

Why I criticize religion

What a great day to be having this conversation!  Happy Darwin Day everyone!!

This morning I woke up to see an interesting question on my facebook page from someone I have alot of respect for .  The question was obviously a response to the many criticisms of mono-theistic religion I've made on my facebook page over the last few months.

Facebook is an inadequate forum for posting a decent response to his questions (it's not the forum that's inadequate, it's the formatting allowed in posts that in inadequate), I decided to post the questions and my responses here, unedited, except to mask the identity of the  people  I've quoted, and in come cases, to add to what I said on facebook, as that forum is designed for sharing short quips and links and not to a deep discussion.
