The Vatican is Bullshit!

Reading this blog, you are most likely familiar with the comedy duo, Penn & Teller.

This week in a episode of bullshit!, starring the pair, they take on the Vatican and Pope. They discuss matters from child abuse cases to the spread of AIDS/HIV in Africa. If you have not yet seen this episode I highly recommend getting a hold of a copy or catching it in syndication.

Northern Freethinkers Episode 04

The Creation “Museum”

Roughly 300 Atheists Visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky

Roughly 300 Atheists visit the Creation Museum in Kentucky. These 5 skeptics made a short 3 part documentary about their experience.

As Muslim Women Suffer, Feminists Avert Their Gaze

I found this article on the National Post website this morning.

As human beings we need to stand up for these women of Islam. They are being abused and killed because of "Honour". I am sorry, there is no honour in killing or abusing women because they decided to wear trousers or go to a cafe.

It is up to all of us to stand up, not just the feminists.

We can only let a religion run its course un-checked for so long. Clean up you act Islam or move on.
