Newsflash: Aliens cross the galaxy to give some loser an anal probe

Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson gives an excellent reply concerning UFO’s and the argument from ignorance.

This talk could be applied to so many different areas. It really is sad how few people understand how to evaluate evidence, or how to make rational inferences based upon evidence.

 

 

Straight marriages harmed by homophobia

The Associated Press actually had a great article about the straight spouses of closeted gay and lesbian men and women. I would link to it, but the AP are assholes.

Instead, I will just point you to the site they quote from,
the Straight Spouse Network.

Some gay and lesbian people are getting married today; they are living a closeted life in a heterosexual marriage not being the person they were meant to be. This has severe consequences when it inevitably falls apart; I speak from personal experience as collateral damage of a marriage that was never meant to be.

 

 

The pope can blow me

Even after seeing the movie The Magdalene Sisters, reading articles about the Magdalene houses in Ireland, and seeing all of the controversy generated by the Ryan Report, this kind of stuff still manages to piss me off.

Once again, we have another article about Ireland which shows that the catholic church contains some of the biggest fuckwads in all of history.

The Catholic church sold my child

Why the Irish people continue to allow this criminal institution to have so much power in their country is beyond me. Even after all of the atrocities that the church has committed, the church still has the audacity to demand that we respect it’s moral authority. What a fucking joke.

A short time ago, the church even managed to pass a medieval blasphemy law in Ireland. Well, I don’t happen to live there, so let me just say fuck the pope, fuck the child raping, homophobic, misogynistic assholes who work for him, fuck their imaginary deity, and fuck the catholic church.

Hey Ireland, wake the hell up.

I feel better now.

Wired magazine has a series of pretty pictures from some people at Kansas state. The plots show the demographics of each of the seven deadly sins across the United States. The bible belt makes it to the sinners list in four out of seven.

And a great article on the LGBT community from an ally. This one provides an excellent discussion of how the LGBT community privileges white cisgendered gay men at the expense of everyone else.

Scientists discover that bacteria evolve, and the truth makes conservatives angry. How dare reality contradict their religious fantasies.

Finally, fanatical anti-choice bishop, Joseph Martino, resigned a few months back, but no one can figure out why. We can all just be glad he is gone.
