A new piece of research has come out which looks to take the landmark Milgram experiments to the next level of analysis. The Milgram experiment showed that people could just be following orders
Another little piece from my friend Julian Haydon. This one succinctly documents the issue that God seems to have entirely changed his revelation and theological scenario, if you will, from the OT to
There is a group called Christians Against Dinosaurs. They are clearly nuts. This article is taken from Addicting Info. It makes for disturbing reading: Most Christians are warm, loving people. Some use their chosen holy book to spew hatred and bigotry. Others…are just insane.
One of my published works, The Little Book Of Unholy Questions, is a romp through the cumulative case against God set out as 501 leading questions, supported by commentary introducing and closing each section. After my section on Hell, I look briefly at the idea of Satan, who is nothing more than a

The Scientific American reports on the dodginess of eyewitness testimony. This is interesting in light of Gospel apologetics which claim that either the disciples were eyewitnesses or that eyewitnesses in general are reliable. IN 1984 KIRK BLOODSWORTH was convicted of the rape and murder of a nin
Buckle up, this is another sizeable piece... In this series looking skeptically at libertarian claims of free market capitalism being the holy grail of all of reality, I have come to the section where I cast a skeptical eye over some of the more common claims of libertarians. The claim appears to
APPENDIX (to On the Skepticism of Free Market Economics) You don't need to read this, but here is a selection of irritating, immature quotes from the commenter which undergirds my efforts
