I don’t think we’re here for anything; we’re just products of evolution. You can say, ‘Gee, your life must be pretty bleak if you don’t think there’s a purpose,’ but I’m anticipating a good lunch.

Oh boy, Fox News.  A commenter on Atheist Media Blog makes a fun observation in noting that Fox’s analysis is more of a “How can we make this illegal?” stance than a report on its own.

I realize there’s opposition on both sides to Smut for Smut.  Even atheists argue against the idea both from feminist and humanist standpoints, in opposition to the objectification of women that pornography promotes.

Personally, I’m a fan of Smut for Smut.  I see very few ways to garnish this much attention to the immoral (by today’s societal standards) items in the bible without being at least mildly offensive.  Regardless of what Fox News presents from the religious side, the campaign has people talking, which is exactly what it was intended to do.

Beck makes my head spin.

This video, combined with Beck’s “9/12 Project” only helps solidify the idea that the man should never be taken as anything more than religion dressed in politics.

In case you haven’t seen the “9/12 Project”, you need only count to two on his mission statement:

1. America is Good.

2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life.

Yeah, right.  I’m supposed to think you’ve carefully thought about political issues and base my policy opinions on you, even after “God is the center of your life”?

Children are your responsibility, not your personal sheet of blank paper. They aren’t there for you to scribble on, crumple up, and throw away if you don’t like them. Isn’t it weird how the religious wackjobs can howl about how a fetus is a human being that must be granted the privilege of existence, but once it pops out, it reverts to being a possession, a thing that mommy and daddy can do with as they please?

AC Grayling is one of the most well spoken individuals I think I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.
