Remembering Terry Schiavo

Today I am remembering Terri Schiavo, who was finally allowed to die on 3/31/05 after being the center of a fight about the power of the government to interfere with a husband making end of life decisions for his wife.

Today we must remember to not allow our government to become so intrusive that they begin violating our privacy and interfering with personal, family decisions.

Happy Dead jesus Day!

Today is a holiday christians around the world celebrate the day their alleged savior died for them.   Ofcourse, the holiday coming on Sunday, the day they celebrate their gods claimed  resurrection, is a much larger, more celebrated holiday, this day every year is called "Good Friday" by christians all over the world.

Hell yeah I celebrate the day they claim the freak hung from a dead tree.  I call this day "great friday!"

Happy great friday everyone!

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.
