  • Fantastic article!

    Someone tell me why those in the USA who try so hard to get the 10 commandments posted all over in our public square and taught to our kids in school break so many of them trying to get that done? And also fight so hard to take money from the poor and middle class and put in the hands of the rich? And also to keep corporate greed-based health ...

Because that is what they are. Funny God Particle, but I wish people like you who call yourself ''pro-choice'' would use the correct term ''pro-abortion'' because that is ...

  • Nice!

    Disclosure: I am an atheist. The research is interesting however, my experience is generally the opposite. I have started this next sentence three times because I do not want to generalize nor disrespect those who are religious - 90% of people - who are good, genuine, inclusive or 'nice'. But one cannot overlook the (I'll say it) damage that ...

  • Religion, morality, and niceness

    I am an atheist, and every morning I say, ''Thank God I am an atheist.'' However, what I am about to say is objective, hopefully. Most religious people are no more moral than others because morality is in the eye of a beholder. An Evengelical Chiristian may think of Muslim as immoral because of his interpretation of Quran. A Muslim would consider ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • Re: Fundamental Problem with Singer et al

    Agreed. If you're stronger, you can kill the competition to increase your chance of survival and success- might makes right. This evolutionary principle was used to justify the greatest atrocities of the 20th century. A modest guess is 100 million people died because of the pseudo-scientific philosophy- mostly in countries during ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Hitchens & Sharpton

    I think the event, while being very entertaining, somehow managed to miss the real meat and bones of the debate on religion. The debaters seemed to have different ideas of what was to be debated: Hitchens mostly attacked the abominations perpetrated by the religious while Sharpton refused to go beyond the meek idea that one could be affected by a ...
