…I took on a few other icons. Behold Jesus of Nazareth… …Siddhartha Gautama, also known as Buddha… …and one Chas. Darwin of Down House. Wanna guess who gets pissed off? SPOILER: It won’t be the atheists, and probably won’t be the Buddhists.

I drew Mohammed!
If this makes you angry, you’re a moron. Via the fun folks at SP-Studio, formerly Planearium.
The thing that made the things for which there is no known maker
A nice little something for the run-up to Easter.
This is difficult to understand
I’m an atheist, and comfortable with it in the same way that I’m comfortable about being a left-handed, bisexual male. But one of the hurdles I had to jump during my slow surrender of religiosity was the concept of afterlife. It’s hard sometimes to tolerate the reality that this life is all there is. There are plenty of […]
Bishop: There was no Holocaust. Pope: ZOMG FTW
Right, the excommunication-then-redemption of Bishop Richard Williamson is all over the news, the latest being that he can get back into the fold if he recants his denial of the Holocaust. The Vatican demanded Wednesday that a bishop who denied the Holocaust recant his positions before being fully admitted into the Roman Catholic Church. I can […]
God and U.S. Airways flight 1549
From CNN: The pilot aboard U.S. Airways Flight 1549 came over the speaker system and told passengers “brace for impact.” One passenger turned on his cell phone so his body could be found with its GPS tracking. Others reflected on their lives. Everyone survived. Said passenger Andrew Jamison, “God was certainly looking out for all of us.”
I like the direction this is going
A Muslim scholar in Germany has questioned the validity of the existence of Mohammed. Muhammad Sven Kalisch lumps the alleged recipient of the recitation in the same category with Jesus, Abraham et. al., to which can probably be added Siddhartha Gautama: He told the [Toronto] Star in a recent phone interview that his research leads him […]

Sir Arthur Eddington said this of our cosmos: “Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine; it is stranger than we can imagine.” I was reminded today of that fact by an image I’d forgotten. In an effort to reduce the bareness of the walls in Yoshi’s bedroom (as well as in an effort to […]

One Thousand Words, Reality Trumps 'God', You Must be F***ing Kidding

There’s simply no way that we can extend the concept of tolerance to any practitioners of the following examples of egregious stupidity: Officials at Nepal’s state-run airline have sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god, following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the carrier said Tuesday. Yep, goat […]
Reality Check? (4 of 5)
We’re not technologically capable — yet — of literally destroying the world. What we are capable of, however, is rendering its surface utterly inimical to human life. From that rather self-centered perspective alone, then, we should be careful about what we develop, deploy and refine. It doesn’t matter if we use atomics or fusion weapons. […]
