As we approach Christmas, I’ve been reminded again and again that the majority of Australians aren’t anti-Christian, because to be anti-anything it would imply they cared. What they are is apathetic. Jesus is not rejected with vitrol, but with a yawn. It would be a misnomer to call such Australians Atheist. Atheists at least have convictionContinue reading “How to care for the apathetic?”

Heavenly Hitchens? Oh Please!
I’ve been bamboozled by the Christian commentary I’m seeing this evening on New Atheist author Christopher Hitchens. Having heard of his long anticipated death Christians leaders are falling over themselves trying to explain how he’s now, or just might be, in heaven. Just to show how nice and non-judgemental we all are. It strikes meContinue reading “Heavenly Hitchens? Oh Please!”
Religion poisons everything … except the English language?
This evening I find The Christian Post has been quoting an article from Vanity Fair in which Atheist author Christopher Hitchens “pays tribute” to the King James Bible. Thinking I’d check this “tribute” at the source, I found it half way through a Hitchens ramble on Bible translation history. Hitchens states, “Though I am sometimes reluctant to admit it,Continue reading “Religion poisons everything … except the English language?”
Tales Of Mere Existence
Some interesting personal reflections on God and following God from an Agnostic. Not, that I agree with him on everything, or even much at all, but tell me what you think of the the last line.

The meme is popular amongst New Atheists and other critics of Christianity. Here’s one example: For more examples see Raptor Jesus Art. I suspectContinue reading “Raptor Jesus went extinct for your sins?”
Was Einstein an Atheist?
“There are yet people who say there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support for such views.” – Albert Einstein
Should we be opposing secular ethics classes?
Earlier today the Sydney Morning Herald drew attention a Bishops entering the battle against secular ethics classes. They write “THE Bishop of North Sydney has urged Anglican priests to collect information from principals of public schools to stop the spread of the secular ethics classes the Sydney Anglicans believe may threaten religious education.” I have to question the Bishop’s approachContinue reading “Should we be opposing secular ethics classes?”
Last Supper of the Scientists
This reimagining of the last supper features Galileo, Curie, Oppenheimer, Newton, Pasteur, Hawking, Einstein, Sagan, Edison, Aristotle, Tyson, Dawkins, Darwin. Seems like an Atheist’s religious dream, except Einstein was no Atheist. Now, was that an oops?
Atheist Synod affirms Dawkins as Saint
Religions of the world spontaneously combusted yesterday after Richard Dawkins’ eloquent deconstruction of God, spirituality and everything at the Atheist synod in Melbourne, Australia. Buddhists were seen running screaming from the room, Catholic nuns fainted enmass, Hindus renounced yoga in favour of cigarettes, porno and British accents and Muslim imams were heard muttering, “There isContinue reading “Atheist Synod affirms Dawkins as Saint”
Atheist Ad Blooper
Times Online has reported that the children chosen to front the latest Atheist Bus campaign as icons of humanism are actually from a Christian family, evangelical in fact. Their former pastor says, “I think it is hilarious that the happy and liberated children on the atheist poster are in fact Christian.” Given the campaign slogan ofContinue reading “Atheist Ad Blooper”
