The Four Horsemen #1 Order the DVD

http://www.richarddawkins.net/article,2025,THE-FOUR-HORSEMEN,Discussions-With-Richard-Dawkins-Episode-1-RDFRS On the 30th of September 2007, Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens sat down for a first-of-its-kind, unmoderated 2-hour discussion, convened by RDFRS and filmed by Josh Timonen. All four authors have recently received a large amount of media attention for their writings against religion - some positive, and some negative. In this conversation the group trades stories of the public's reaction to their recent books, their unexpected successes, criticisms and common misrepresentations. They discuss the tough questions about religion that face to world today, and propose new strategies for going forward.

Not responding to questions about tactics much more...

We won't be responding to criticism about our tactics much anymore. Thanks to those who defend and understand what our approach is and why it is a necessary evil... and just one cog in the wheel helping to overcome irrational nonsense. Please continue to defend us especially when you see ignorant or irrational arguments, or better yet... simply link them to this video.

UK Cardinal: Atheism is Product of Distorted Christianity

You can always tell when a religious leader is saying something stupid, just watch their lips to see if they are moving. The UK Regional Profit Manager for the Holy Roman Altar Boy Church, Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor (shown in his best Sunday go to Meeting Dress) has suggested that “modern atheism” is a product of a distorted kind of Christianity.” Apparently the Cardinal believes that wi...

Spanish Woman Poses Nude To Embarrass Mean Uncle Cardinal

A Spanish mother of two, whose uncle is a neo-fascist Catholic Cardinal pig and friend of the Rat in a Hat, was slighted when her uncle ignored the deaths of both of her parents, refusing to attend their funerals and even offering a bald faced lie as an excuse. Perhaps the parents were not hate-mongering homophobic liars, and Cardinal Antonio María Rouco Varela did not like them for thinking...

Australian Gay Couple Defeats Religious Bigots in Court

An Australian gay couple have defeated Jesus. A God hates fags Christian foster care agency lost in court. Take that Jesus, take the whole thing.

Despite the fact that NSW law already permits foster care by gay couples, the bigots for Jesus at the Uniting Church refused to consider the application by the couple because of the fact that they are gay. The Jebus-based bigots claimed in court t...

A Construction worker who was supposed to be disassembling a crucifix was caught in this image with his right hand feeling up the inside of Jesus’ bare, sexy thigh. Meanwhile his partner in crime was scooping up some holy armpit musk.

Arkansas Moves to Protect Sanctity of Marriage from Toddler Agenda

(Trailer Park, Arkansas) In a bold move designed to Protect the Sanctity of Marriage, a group of Arkansas legislators have closed a loophole that was allowing toddler and pre-school children to marry each other as long as neither party was pregnant. Mostly it is little girl toddlers that get pregnant in Arkansas, though some unusual boys do study ballet and hairdressing.

Who for President? Senator McBush or Jesus?

With the joyous celebration of the Party of Jesus National Convention not far in the future now, most have concluded that Senator McBush, a strong supporter of our faith-based invasion of Iraq based on a pack of lies, is the certain and definite candidate.

There will be much to celebrate this year. The bulk of the wealth in the country has now been transferred from the poor, who are known to s...

Picking on Prostitution

Don't prosecute prostitutes

Re " 'D.C. Madam' found hanged," May 2

As a lawyer who defends women arrested for prostitution, I see how devastating it is for a woman to be convicted for crimes that should not be regarded as violations of the law. I am not surprised that a conviction with a six-year prison sentence, for activities that hurt no one, could drive someone like the "D.C. Madam" to ta...
