In April, we told you about Christians in New South Wales becoming distressed over the idea of ethics classes replacing Christian Scripture classes in public schools.

In order to get a country’s citizens to accept a national identity, the definition of that identity must be as inclusive as possible. By adding “under God” to the Pledge, those people who don’t believe in gods were automatically excluded from the group being defined: Americans.
It hasn’t even been a week since McDonald v. Chicago, and lawmakers are already trying to find ways to get around the Supreme Court ruling. Via the Wall Street Journal: The day after the Supreme Court cleared a path to overturn this city’s ban on handguns—among the toughest in the U.S.—frustrated city officials began Tuesday [...]
Creationists whine a lot about the difference between macro and microevolution, as if there really is a difference. Saying you believe in microevolution but not macroevolution is kinda like saying you accept inches but not yards. Despite this well-established scientific fact, it is the purported “impossibility” of macroevolution that underlines nearly all creationist criticisms of [...]
Among the many notable things that my favorite show Star Trek brought into the world comes from a 1973 fanfiction in which the young lieutenant Mary-Sue appears on the enterprise and saves the day with a hairpin, then dies surrounded by all the weeping main characters.

Today, Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY) introduced the Ending Corporal Punishment in Schools Act, a bill that would prohibit corporal punishment in all public and private schools that receive tax dollars.
After much discussion with our hosting company, we determined it’s likely that a single plugin was causing the 404, server busy, and other errors you may have encountered the last couple of days. Every time the front page was loaded, it was using about 7% of available CPU memory. That’s all well and good, as [...]
Generally, I’ve found that self-identified agnostics fall into two main categories (a) atheists who want to keep their friends, and (b) accommodationists and self-righteous non-believers who don’t own a proper dictionary. Ron Rosenbaum is clearly a member of the latter camp. He wrote this article for Slate that’s filled with the same sneering and obvious [...]
