Is race-mixing a ‘sin’?

I’m annoyed with myself. I found a post, and promptly lost it again, via this site, that spoke of ‘miscegenation’. miscegenation is defined as sexual relationships or reproduction between people of different ethnic groups, especially when one of them is white. It is intended (at least according to some sources) to be a derogatory term. […]

Irony

It seems religious fundamentalists are incapable of grasping irony. We expected to get a response from one of the two opposing views that seem to watch our website on a daily basis. Sure enough, the owner of the MM website came through and stated his faulty opinion. We are not going to address his opinion […]

Love? More like Interference…

Another day, another arrogant pontification from the peanut gallery. I recently shared some thoughts on how annoying and intrusive it is to be approached on the streets by religious recruiters. They have no respect for the people they approach. They have not stopped to consider, in any way shape or form, whether or not the […]

The Approach

It is not without irony (and often a lack of self-awareness) that religious fanatics deride and complain that ‘woke’ culture is getting all up in their faces. No one has ever knocked on my door to speak to me about atheism, or the LGBT community. No one has ever stopped me in the street to […]

‘Arrested for Thinking’

This is the erroneous claim made by ‘Politics Aired‘ (and several others), over the arrest of a woman in Birmingham. It is also falsely claimed that she was arrested for praying. Unfortunately, people are quick to regurgitate inflammatory soundbites, without ever stopping to consider what the facts actually are. As per this article from the […]

Citizens and the Secular

A little ways ago now, I had been discussing ‘freedom from secularism’ with one Citizen Tom. As the World Cup is moving into a slightly less-hectic (arguably more stressful, but less hectic, yes, I know that’s a little contradictory) phase, I have some time on my hands, to delve back into our little ‘debate’. I […]

Ignorance and Hubris

You have to love the deeply ironic – and arrogant – positions that some people take up, when they think they’re being clever. David Thiessen of Theology Archaeology responded to this post of mine, and also ‘addressed’ what Jill Dennison had to say in her excellent post. I shall quote his text in purple, and […]

Evangelicals Lack Empathy

I’ve slightly paraphrased the title of an excellent post by my pal, Bruce Gerencser. In his post, Bruce once again highlights the rabid fury of the evangelical, of the fundamentalist. Bruce has bravely battled these cruel, cowardly haters for years, and continues to do so, despite no end to the tirade being in sight. I […]

Freedom of – and from – Religion, P2

For context of this post, I’d recommend a series of other posts, and I’ll place them in into a recommended reading order too – Constitutional Insurgent’s original post, Citizen Tom’s reply, my original post, and Tom’s response to me. Tom’s response: Are there efforts to impress Christianity upon poor innocent Atheists? Of course, there is. […]
