• Atheists Give High Schooler $1,000 Scholarship for Dressing as Jesus on ‘Fictional Character Day’

  It’s truly amazing to me that apologists on here are scoffing at this kid as if his gesture were a complete violation of the historical record. There is literally a mountain of greater evidence for the existence of Socrates than there has ever been for Christ (and most historians hesitate to agree that Socrates actually lived). Pretending that there exists evidence for the life of this person outside of the scrapbook of secondhand evidence known as the new testament is simple intellectual dishonesty. Grow up, don‘t feign outrage when this person’s claims are not at all outrageous.

• Beck Delivers Rousing Church Speech: ‘Put on the Full Armor of God’ & Get America ‘Back Into the Right Direction’

  I‘m afraid Beck’s delusional, paranoid rhetoric is far too predictable to be striking any nerves nowadays.

  Wow, spooky. You realize people love to regurgitate this apocalyptic, delirious biblical rhetoric because it could be loosely applied to any moment in American or world history, right? Read a couple books instead of just one and see if it makes you a bit less paranoid.

  God (not the christian god, but the identical god concept that every monotheistic faith in human history shares), is only a refuge for people that are overwhelmed by the world. People who would rather submit to a comforting delusion than face up to the big, scary existential questions. God is a cop-out mechanism, time to grow up. If you loathe the world you live in, get off the couch and do something about it. It’s just like when you catch a cold, you don’t appeal to god to make your cold go away (because that obviously ain’t happening), you take steps to make yourself better. Offering up your problems to god will rob you of your work ethic and critical faculties quicker than marijuana (Glen Beck’s drug of choice for much of his life, I might add).

  If you want to live in my country, learn to think, learn some humility, learn that your brand of tribalism is reserved for animals, and learn strong convictions are not an adequate replacement for education.

  Ah yes, because majority opinion will always be the best barometer for what’s right and wrong, fair and unfair, true and false.

  Or perhaps it just makes sense that if we’re trying to talk them out of their archaic, delirious beliefs, maybe we should renounce our own.

  Surprised that you reject the prophet of another monotheistic faith, and that they reject yours? Can‘t say I’m surprised. Is it just me or is all religion kind of predictable in this way?

  Neither is the irony, idiocy, and embarrassment of being majority religious in the year 2012 in the world’s wealthiest, most powerful, and most advanced secular democracy.
