Ha Ha Ha... Lightning Bolt.
My book, The Little Book of Unholy Questions, is a cumulative case against God (the Judeo-Christian version predominantly, but not exclusively) and it includes a number of chapters on different topics. I will include the last questions in the book before I sum up there. These questions are by an lar
God on Trial at Auschwitz
I am sure I have posted this before, but this is well worth a watch. Actually, the screenplay was written by a Catholic; I heard him being interviewed about it once, and he
Little Girl Taken Out Of Christian School After Told She's Too Much Like A Boy
Timberlake, VA - Sports, sneakers, and short hair; it's what makes eight year old Sunnie Kahle unique. It's also what had her removed from Timberlake Christian School. Her grandparents pulled the plug on her time there after they said she was no longer welcome. The family received a letter tellin
“Psychology Gone Astray” – an excerpt from an upcoming Onus Books release

Annoying Parents and their Fallacious Arguments: The Teachers' Strike

This is brilliant:
Proof (again) that the Daily Mail is a Racist, Sexist, Bigoted Diatribe
I am no fan of the right-wing espouser of nonsense and lies that is the Daily Mail. It is a horrible UK paper. For those across the pond who don't know, it has a rather chequered history, supporting the Nazis way back when and then continuing in the vein ever since. Not really chequered, ac ++tual

Why I am going on strike
Wednesday 26th is an important day for the National Union of Teachers here in the UK. We have voted to go out on strike and I am going to do so, foregoing my pay for the day. I don't take this action lightly, but then nor do I accept hat he government is doing to the education system lightly. I woul
Website comments can be bad for science
In connection to the rant I made about Randy Everist and his Nazi, unfair and unjustified comment strategy he has on his blog, here is a post from the Popular Science website which a Twitter follower and friend from Portsmouth Skeptics in the Pub sent me. Hopefully they won't mind me posting it here
