This image captures one of them : the absurdity of thinking that a god so powerful , so wise , so good would demand worship from humans and would condemn them to eternal punishment for the crime of not believing .

    Updated: 2012-01-31 01:52:58
    For the last 1700 years, religion has had a free pass in our society, it has embedded itself deeply into every facet of social and public life, and it has grown fond of its privileges. Then Darwin showed that we … Continue reading →

    There’s a lot of discussion raging right now about the faster-than-light neutrinos that supposedly have been observed at the CERN laboratories.
