AN Indonesian civil servant who declared himself an atheist on Facebook was arrested and is now facing jail for blasphemy after being attacked by an angry mob, police said today.
Alexander An, 30, who wrote "God doesn't exist" on his Facebook page, was beaten by a mob of dozens on Wednesday in his hometown in Pulau Punjung, West Sumatra province.
"He is suspected of having blasphemed against Islam," local police chief Chairul Aziz told AFP.
"The man told police investigators that if God really exists and has absolute power, why didn't he prevent bad things from happening in this world."
An said on his Facebook page that he was brought up as a Muslim, like the vast majority in Indonesia, where blasphemy is a punishable crime carrying a maximum five-year prison term.

In honor of Christopher Hitchens, I wish to share this classic moment where he compares heaven to North Korea:

Ricky Gervais is making a show about an atheist in heaven:

Hoping to catch lightning in a bottle twice, British comedian Ricky Gervais – who brought The Office to the USA – is working on a new sitcom called Afterlife.

The show will follow an atheist who goes to heaven and is being developed in partnership with Dexter producer Clyde Phillips.

Jerusalem Rabbis Condemn Reincarnated Lawyer Dog to Death by Stoning

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Kinney) — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 01:19:00 +0000

From BBC:

A Jewish rabbinical court condemned to death by stoning a stray dog it feared was the reincarnation of a lawyer who insulted its judges, reports say.

The dog entered the Jerusalem financial court several weeks ago and would not leave, reports Israeli website Ynet.

It reminded a judge of a curse passed on a now deceased secular lawyer about 20 years ago, when judges bid his spirit to enter the body of a dog.

The animal is said to have escaped before the sentence was carried out.

One of the judges at the court in the city's ultra-Orthodox Mea Shearim neighbourhood had reportedly asked local children to carry out the sentence...

I got drunk as all hell and Jesus didn't come. I bet $5 that Mr. Camping and/or FamilyRadio.com will come out with yet another rapture date prediction.

Even though it is logically consistent with their beliefs, I still laugh my ass off when Christians attribute horrible disasters to God, and not Satan. And of course, being an event caused by God, they consider it a moral act. In this highly competitive ideological marketplace, the Christian sales pitch is sorely lacking.

Sam Harris

Sam Harris writes amazing books, and I love reading them. But it's even better when you see him speak, because it looks like it's Ben Stiller who is slaying religion.

Nevermind, this was busted by Snopes (see comments). I wouldn't be surprised though if congregations disavowing any responsibility for catastrophes they prayed for did exist.

Watch in amazement as this Pakistani actress absolutely obliterates her adversaries. She pwns all in her path. I pray to Allah that her example inspires all women across the world to fight for their rights.

An Endangered Species

noreply@blogger.com (Aaron Kinney) — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 20:25:00 +0000

Religion is an endangered species and may become extinct in nine nations. Sadly, the United States is not on the list. I hope the US (and every country) gets on the list soon. Atheism could become more popular in the developed world than theism within a generation.

The team took census data stretching back as far as a century from countries in which the census queried religious affiliation: Australia, Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland.

"In a large number of modern secular democracies, there's been a trend that folk are identifying themselves as non-affiliated with religion; in the Netherlands the number was 40%, and the highest we saw was in the Czech Republic, where the number was 60%," Dr Wiener said.

Steve Johnson blames God for his failure on the field. It's about time someone famous counted the misses too, and not just the hits:

"I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!!" he tweeted late Sunday afternoon. "YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO..."
